How will the Xbone be remembered years from now?

Most consoles are remembered by their exclusives. The Wii is probably the most unique console there is yet it is remembered for exposing us to the Mario Galaxy's, Skyward and Xenoblade. In fact, think of any past major consoles. What comes to mind? Their exclusives!

Will it be another OG Xbox where people just forget about it? Looking back, most would agree that the GC is the better console of the two despite lower sales. History seems to repeat itself with Wii U being more memorable than the Xbone. With Xbone having no real exclusives, what will we remember it for?

It won't be remembered for anything outside its awful reveal.

or the MASSIVE applause this got, promptly knocking MS the **** out.

It will be remebered as "the fastest selling Xbox console with the greatest game lineup ever/for this year/ and most made accounts"

Or in my region as "the strange green box taking space on shelves"

What's a X1?

It's a console where MS learned a lot form the mistakes with 360, especially RROD.

But it also carried a lot of the weight from the 360 era: the forced Kinect at the start, the lack of games from closing so many studios in the 360 era and selling others.

@Legend002: I'll remember it just like I remembered the past two XBox systems. Greats games, best controller, best online gaming. I'll admit the XB1 is lacking in great exclusives compared to the first 2 systems though. They have a lot of catching up to do there. I'm still happy with the system. I'll definitely remember it more then the Wii and Wii U.

Totally !

Remembered as the best selling Xbox in history with amazing games and exclusives with a top tier online service.

@kvally:

If you think this thing will sell over 80 million consoles, you are delusional.

@flyincloud1116: opinion noted

Or the salty tears this provided. Then Sony reply back by introducing a PS2 emulator that you can't play your existing PS2 games on. You had to buy them again instead. lol!! You're still playing XB1 games I see. lol!!

Redundant.

It will be remembered as another great consoles that gave me hours and hours of gameplay, great games, BC with a great online service and support.

Oh god... look at all the giggling little PS fangirls. Yawn.

@blackace: ]

Classic redirect by you, ignoring how MS had an abortion of a reveal, then shocked the WORLD by having an even worse E3 and literally got booed off the stage and at their E3 booth as confirmed by Cynthia our community manager who was there...lol!!!!!!

That forced MS to shit can their WHOLE vision of the X1 and try to change to keep up with PS4..lol!!!!!!

No one will remember that BC video over that sharing video, deep down you even know that,,,lol!!!!!

Oh and that BC did nothing for MS's position in the market today..lol!!!!!

Oh what about my games I want for BC are not available yet, will ALL games get BC???? Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, will we see those EVER???? lol!!!!!

Why not? lol!!!!!!

SONY wins again and retains ownership of the world's most powerful video game console and coincidentally current gen 8 console leader due to the by gamers for gamers mantra.

MS's last console,I believe...

As a console no one wanted in their household.

Proof of the third console curse.

You can tell that you are digging deep when you have to mention support in the compliment.

Sad but true,

I bet MS comes out with gun blazing in gen 9. I might even get that console 1st before PS5!!!

As that one console that had Rare Replay but nothing else worth owning, and therefore not worth the purchase price.

I feel like it'll be remembered as a ps4 without the all the really great indie games.

Major Flop!

Should say something as a huge MS supporter form gen 7 who hasn't bought X1 but does have a PS4.

Digging deep how? When I say online support I'm referring to the monthly upgrades and improvements Xbox Live has since it's launch. Xbox live on the X1 is like night and day to what it is today and that's a plus on what MS has done with the X1.

It will be remembered for the controller that came in the box with people's VR helmets.

A diet PS4?

PS4 lite?

The Xbone was essentially the PS4, but just under graphically (PS4 had the multiplat advantage), and lacked the indie and Japanese game support (Persona, Guilty Gear, etc) the PS4 also enjoyed which allowed the PS4 to triple/quadruple sales and get a 450+ game library lead that keeps growing month to month. That is odd considering both machines released in November 2013, you would think the library gap would be much smaller with two machines that are so similar and released one week apart.

Between the Xbox 1 original, Xbox 360, and Xbone, the Xbone definitely has work to do in getting more quality exclusives. The Xbox 1 OG and Xbox 360 were better on the exclusives front. I'm not comparing the Xbone to PS4 (where the PS4 has an advantage), just the the other two Xboxes exclusives of yesteryear.

It will also be remembered as a machine that had new developers take on Halo (343 with two original Halo games under their belt, one last gen) and GeoW (brand new untested devs Coalition), the machine where Remedy wasn't quite up to Remedy standards (QB's 77/100 metascore), and the machine where Kinect, Lionhead, and Fable died.

I've had mine since launch, and it's a good machine...but I expected things to turn out different.

STOP DIGGING, YOU'VE REACHED THE BOTTOM.

@Heil68: the ps4 is a better console. To date anyway... And it is only because of the psn store having games From talented developers nearly every month.

In the retail space I see absolute no difference between the two consoles.

I'd like to see ms bounce back... But at this point I'm worried the three companies are fucking up the entire industry and don't really know where they want to take their business's.

LOL another clown.

Before we get a PS5 we'll first get a PS4.5 and PS4.7andahalf

It will be remembered as a massive flop if it's even remembered at all.

It will be remembered as the best console this gen, as long as you take off the fanboy glasses. It will also be remembered for a controversial reveal and surprise BC announcement.

Quantum flop

Like the PS3 then.

I'm going to remember this whole console generation as a disappointment.

Hear hear, and second to that, for me, it will be remembered as an object of obsession for the many haters that frequent this board. What would you do with your time if not for the Xbox One? Like it or not, haters, if you spend so much time talking about it and bashing it, it is part of your every day life more than you care to admit, and it will be never be forgotten :)

The console that was so bad made MS remember PC's could game again :P

As the red headed step child. It was like a twin to the PS4 but never got the same attention. Terrible reveal and bro dude stigma. Too Murican. I'm hoping to eventually get one really cheap because I think it really is a decent system.

You sound incredibly angry.

Lost potential.

The only system with the best racing franchise around.

Seems you'll remember the PS4 more then the Bone lol.

Worst Xbox platform of the 3 Xbox platforms. It's a good console, though don't get me wrong.

Serously, WTF were they smoking?

In 800 years time archeologists will think they have found a VCR from the 1980's.
