Xbone

Thought about buying an Xbone since my dad gave me the money it would have costed to go on the trip with the family next weekened but I chose not to. I would have had to take unpaid leave from work and I decided I might as well stay home. This of course worked for everyone, they dont have to worry about the dogs since Ill be home nor the cats. However upon looking it up and seeing if there was anything worth getting one for and there just isnt really. I couldnt give a damn about half the games on it that are exclusive and multiplats will always go to my console of choice which is PS4. The Xbone would be for exclusives only on it and right now I dont see how anyone can cry about Sonys lack of exclusives recently since the Xbone seems just as bad. The only ones Im really interested in are Sunset Overdrive, Ori and the blind forest and I wouldnt mind jumping back in Halo but thats it really. I guess Ill wait a time longer.

I honestly think xbo has more exclusives I want, SO being atop that list since I met Insomniac's PR team, but to each their own. I'm still on the fence myself though. Eyeing that white $350 XBO/SO bundle, but wondering if I wouldn't want a PS4 in the long run.

If you really want the White one, nab it while you can find it. If I could find one Id nab one regardless. Microsoft is apparently not making anymore White consoles. Once they stop producing them prices on that console will skyrocket.

I still have so many unplayed games on 360 and PS3 that I really can't justify spending almost a month's rent on what amounts to entertainment. I'll wait for more games and a price drop before I consider buying one.

I understand, I payed mine off thru a pay to own service. I didnt have a ps3 thou at the time so my backlog on that doesnt exist anymore. I def say wait and enjoy what ya have now.

Yeah there's nothing on either the PS4 or Xbox One that I want to play right now.  I can certainly afford the consoles, but they're useless unless there are games you want to play on them.  Maybe later on there will be.

Thats excatly how I feel on the Xbone, PS4 and Wii U got plenty I wanna play. I just got Little Big Planet 3 for my PS4 and I love it. Maybe next year will prove more fruitful for both consoles.

There are a few things I'd like to play on all three next gen consoles, but only a few: Pikmin 3 on Wii-U, Killzone Shadowfall on PS4, and Master Chief Collection on Xbox One. The one game that has system seller all over it for me right now is Crackdown for Xbox One and that's out late 2015. I'll likely get one for that.

I did get a 3DS and Vita in the last few years though. 3DS I got for Etrian Odyssey IV and Fire Emblem Awakening, and Vita for Dragon's Crown.

I previously had a vita and Im thinking about nabbing one again. There are a few titles out and coming out making it appealing again. I still have my 2DS and Im waiting to buy another 3DS XL still the new ones coming out. Im gonna hold out on a Xbone for awhile longer.

I have tons to play on my 3DS XL, but Vita not so much. However, it is a really cool system and I'm going to play some more games on it. I love that it seemlessly connects to your account, and you can play with your friends as easily as you can on console. I'm taking it with me on a trip this weekend. Hopefully I've have to time to play Another World on it.

Almost nothing exclusively for the XBox One or PS4 interests me that much, so I can't really justify the money that'd be neccessary in purchasing either of them right now. The Wii U on the other hand...

The Wii U def got a good year coming up and is ending off on a pretty good note on this one. I highly suggest purchasing one!

I definitely enjoy the PS4 alot and I love the exclusives that Sony has. I like they take chances on "obsure" games as well.

Nicoleb1989

11/18/2014 at 02:46 PM

They def do, they take alot of chances it seems but I find that a good thing. I love my PS4 so trust me im not trading over, just thought about considering purchasing a xbone with some of the money I got.

I made up my mind on a PS4, but not enough games in library for purchase right now. I am happy with my WiiU and PC games for now.

Id say wait till middle to close end of 2015. Id say by autumn of the next year it will have plenty of games to warrant purchasing. Well thats if anything suits ur fancy good sir,lol!

Honestly, there's some Xbone exclusives that interest me more than the ones of the PS4 (that one being only Infamous: Second Son), but they stop short at Halo, Sunset Overdrive and the Forza games and a lot of the third party games are going to PC either way. The only next gen console i'm going for is the Wii U.

See its reveresed for me, there are more PS4 stuff then Xbone. The only 3 games I talked about are the ones that interest me. If Fable had been an actual Fable title instead of another Spin off type title I might have actually got an Xbone. The Wii U's got a good year ahead of it so I highly suggest buying one when ya can.

I pretty much knew from the get-go that I wasn't interested in the xbox One. But what surprises me is that I'm not really interested in the PS4 either.  I just don't feel like there's really anything out there on either system I really want.

The system I'm really looking forward to getting is the Wii U.  Which is quite ironic because I wasn't always interested in that system.  I wanted to see what games the PS4 would have when it come out, but it's mostly just more of the same.  The Wii U actually has fun games that appeal to me more.

Just say'n.

I already got a Wii U, I bought it at launch and then rebought one when they released the Zelda bundle. Im prepared for Nintendo's big year coming up. Ive noticed alot more people are eyeing the Wii U now, I really think sells on the Wii U are gonna shoot up soon.

All I need is a Xbone to have all next gen but I decided to say screw it and wait. Gears of War title for it is still far behind from release and sunset overdrive can wait.

I don't see why people put so much stock in exclusives. I've read some tweets and listened to 2 video game podcast episodes where listener mail was read and a certain complain repeated itself: "PS4 doesn't have much in the way of exclusives this holiday season so now I'm feeling bad about buying one." Again, there's this ridiculous claim that there's nothing to play on the console. The only way that can happen is if you never use your PS4. 

I haven't played much on my PS4 - which I've owned for only 3 months - but the games I've bought so far (Destiny and Diablo 3) have provided enough content that I probably won't need to buy a lot. Not to mention the numerous PSN titles I got through the PS+ subscription. Besides, I bought a console to prepare myself for the gigantic year of 2015, when owning a PS4 (and to be fair, and Xbox One) will really matter (e.g., Batman: Arkham Knight, Bloodborne, Just Cause 3, Uncharted 4 - *fingers crossed*).

I dont rely on exclusives with my main choice. PS4 I bought because I have had playstation practically all my life and Xbox has failed me alot more then PS. Both the Original Xbox and 360 had bad hardware issues and didnt live long. PS1, PS2, and the slim PS3 has always handled my gaming habits well. However if I got an Xbone it would be for the sole exclusives of the console because my PS4 will always get any multiplat title. Some people though i think look at exclusives has some of the titles they will purchase most so they base their choice around that.

Yeah the exclusives are a bit thin on both sides. I'm usually not into looking for exclusives but when I got the 360 that was my sole purpose and so far I haven't been disappointed. When you find something you want to play then the console becomes worth it, in the meantime saving the money is always a good thing.
