The Xbox One is the best console to own this gen.

As we all know the Xbox One gets a lot of ( underserved) hate, but if you stop hopping on the "Xbox One sucks" train because it's cool you'll see a lot of which makes the X1 a good console to have. Even the best this gen, in my opinion of course. We always want to focus on what's bad or went wrong with it, lets focus on what it did right:

Introduced free BC, and constantly updating it with new games ( I understand it's not as good as Wii u's BC, but so much better than Sony's crappy cash grab implementation.)

The best controller compared to the competition once again, especially with the elite controller. But it's priced too high for now.

Making The console a developer kit, and MS has become much more indie friendly. ID@Xbox is a good example.

Having sales, bundles, and deals.

Updating The MS store with free games the first day of the month unlike The PS4 and Having to wait a few days for the store to update.

Constant UI updates, and console updates which allow for external storage, something Sony hasn't done. And updates that's made The UI quicker and easy to navigate. MS continues to show future support with The addition of cortana voice commands and background music.

Closed the gap on multiplat performance, I know everyone wants to act like PS4 is 100x stronger, but it's a marginal difference between the 2, and almost all multiplats look and perform identical.

When it comes to The library the X1 has better games than the competition. All these games are critically acclaimed by users and critics alike and are not on PS4 or Wii U: Dead Rising 3, Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 2, Ori and the Blind forest, Forza 5, Forza 6, Halo 5, Halo: MCC, Rare Replay, RotTR, Quantum Break, Gears Ultimate Edition, and Killer Instinct, and Superhot. With games like Cuphead, Gears 4, Scalebound, Crackdown 3, Recore, and Sea of Thieves for The future. And games like all the Forzas are exclusive to X1, ( yes Forza Horizon 6 is still exclusive, apex on PC is a completely different, F2P, and most of The content stripped.) Halo 5, Halo: MCC, Rare Replay, and Sunset Overdrive are All exclusive to X1.

I understand the X1 has had it's flaws, but compared to the Wii U and PS4 I think it's the best choice. Let the hate commence, I'm sure it's coming lol.

1. 2. 3... Let the hate train begin...

Let me start off by saying that the xbox one does lack heavily in terms of performance and hardware capabilities compared to the ps4.

I'll stick to my Wii U and PS4 combo

4 of my top 5 games this gen are not playable on Xbox One. I have very little interest in the One's library.

@Pikminmaniac: That's surprising since the games I listed have a lot of variety, but fair enough. Different strokes for different folks.

Only bought my X1 for Forza. Now that MS are planning on releasing future Forza games on PC, I have no need for it now.

@primorandomguy: uncharted 4 = 10/10 kek

@clyde46: Well you still need your X1 for the Forza games that already came out. :p

I've finished H2, might go back to 6.

There are some interesting title on the One, but not interesting enough to buy a third current gen console. Ori and the Blind Forest would be the most interesting, but it's available on PC and 360.

It's really hard to compete with Nintendo's first party, Souls games (bloodborne), and Street Fighter. Those are the big three pillars in gaming for me right now.

@primorandomguy: sorry sony

@clyde46: I still need to play Forza 5, and 6. Unless I should just skip 5 now since I'm sure 6 is superior. FH2 is one of my favorite games of this gen.

Got both consoles, Greatness Awaits on this side of the fence too.

@Pikminmaniac: I gotcha. If you ever get a chance to play Ori do so. It is amazing. I never was into the souls games. I'd try SFV out though if I could. I like fighters.

@primorandomguy: you forgot about elite dangerous, ark survival, and magic duels as well.

@thepclovingguy: Can you explain how the X1 lacks heavily compared to PS4? I'm not seeing it.

@commander: Elite Dangerous... Yeah, Magic Duels I've never heard of, and Ark is coming to PC, PS4 as well as X1.

Nice sales pitch but its too late, the general public has already made up their minds. PS4: 40M / XB1: 20M

Get Rekt

Yeah I have to play that game. I'm a huge fan of 2D platformers. Overall, platformers are my favourite single player genre and fighters are my favourite multiplayer genre. SFV has the most brilliant mechanics for a fighter. It's so balanced and extremely fair. There is always an option for everything and the stronger, smarter player always wins. Capcom did an amazing job this time.

different isn't that bad. its not nearly as big as the difference between a ps4 and an affordable PC

I don't think I need to address this thread when the argument points are this far out of reach with reality.

elite dangerous and magic duels were planned for the ps4 too but they're getting postponed every time to a later date, at this time it's even somewhere end 2016. Those games are on the pc too, just like ark, but a pc is not a console.

Ark survival is postponed again on the ps4 as well too... Atm they just get the moba knock off somewhere in june.

One thing is for sure, ark will certainly look´a lot better on the ps4 than it does on the xbox one at release due to the huge difference in terms of performance and hardware capabilities.

The xbox one version looks so much worse than the pc version.

To each their own. You say best controller? I see a $150 joke that still uses AA batteries with a useless dpad. Quantum break and Forza over Bloodborn, Street Fighter 5, no man's sky, Infamous and Uncharted 4? Whatever floats your boat.

Everyone has their preferences. Some people prefer eating a McDonalds cheeseburger over a steak dinner at a 5 star restaurant.

@mems_1224: There really isn't much of a difference at all. What I see is some games are 900p on PS4 and 720p on X1, or 1080p on PS4 and 900p on X1. And of course some games are 1080p 60fps on both consoles. There just isn't this massive power gap that people seem to think.

@commander: Ok yeah I guess that is an advantage, I just don't like giving early access games a reason to own one console over another. Elite Dangerous, and Magic Duels is a good example over PS4 and Wii U though.

So you are going to ignore the massive amounts of DF data that shows the X1 severely lacking when it comes to multiplat games? If the PS4 struggles, the X1 hasn't got a snowballs chance in hell.

Xbox One+Best don't mix together

that's all that really matters. Your gaming is met by X1

@Pray_to_me: Lol how condescending. But first let me point out that you must not own an X1 with such little knowledge of it. The base X1 controller is 60 dollars and I'm even saying that is better than the PS4 controller. The Dpad is not useless at all. And only the elite controller is 150 dollars and everyone raves how that's the best controller ever made. Also NMS does not interest me in the slightest, and isn't there a chance it's still coming to X1? QB and Forza over Bloodborne? Hell yeah I'm not into the souls games. Uncharted 4 seems awesome by reviews though. And I'd like to try SFV but I have KI which I love.

maybe if you lived in a country where the only gaming machine that was sold was an X1

@clyde46: I haven't been ignoring it, I'm just not seeing it. It doesn't help that I play all multiplats on X1 and most look and play fine, I also see side by side comparisons and see no difference, you're mentioning of severely lacking leads me to believe you're exaggerating. Also why are you going after me on this now? I brought this up in my op. Are you trying to get under my skin or something?

@SolidGame_basic: I don't. :)

Oh look nyadc is hiding behind another alt after Uncharted 4 shattered all expectations scoring a 10/10.

that huge difference is not so huge, on the gpu level it's around 30 percent and the xboxone cpu is 10 percent faster.

For ark you need a beefy cpu, so that cpu bottleneck on the ps4 may be even worse than it was with ac unity.

and what does it matter, If you want to play ark right now on the console the ps4 can't help you.

and again, a pc is not a console.

I played dayz in early access for months, if the game is good, what does it matter.

Elite Dangerous I rage quit so much in that. Yesterday I bought some missiles what locked onto target. I made sure target was wanted and pressed fire when target was in my sites. The missile was going straight for target then the bloody thing decided to go off course and hit a ship what not wanted. I got wanted level and a 200 bounty. I so raged quit.

@NathanDrakeSwag: Do you honestly believe that Nyadc is the only person on this forum that likes the X1 so everyone else is an alt of his? Or do you say it as a troll thing? I'm honestly confused lol. But anyway I'll admit that Uncharted 4 will be an awesome game. I'm not a fanboy. I know Wii U and PS4 have great games/exclusives not on X1. I just prefer the X1 and it's games over the rest.

@commander: Fair enough I guess. I just don't like the idea of early access games. But I see your point, if it's good it's good.

Hmmmm...nope

lol, I use leading machine guns, but I haven't played the game in a while.

@NathanDrakeSwag: so, tell us, which of your friends is going to allow you to play UC 4 ? Because we know you own shit.

I felt like the Doctor from star trek voyager Message in a bottle episode. When he was on the Prometheus and fired torpedo onto wrong ship.

you could have just paid the bounty

I'll consider the Xbox when the next model comes out.

Good enough for ya? Try getting a girlfriend instead of following people around system wars begging for pics of consoles when they hate on your precious cable box lol.

ah

you funny guy

Not even in your dreams tc.

Denial man.
