I don't know anyone personally who owns the XBOX1. Everyone has a switch and/or ps4. There just wasn't enough reasons to buy the system. I got a lot of hours spent on the original XBOX and 360. Never once had the urge to buy another Microsoft system

They arent reset with the scarlett lol. This generation is simply coming to an end. PS5 is on the horizon as well. Xbox one wasnt as successful as ps5 but still hardly a failure. I thought it was funny that he called uncharted 4 a groundbreaking title though. Tbh sony didnt do much more than microsoft on the innovation front. Sounds mostly like an opinion piece but the first half of the video was accurate. Switch is my personal winner for this gen

The One might not have any games on it that I, personally, wish to play (because I am a JRPG fan), but I cannot call it a failure. The games it does have in its library have large numbers of fans, and the specs of the X model are hard to ignore.

Xbox One is my choice this generation, partially for Forza, partially for Rare Replay, and because the multiplats I want are on X1. Add good B/C with favorite 360 and OG games and the choice is obvious.

My son bought his family an X1 for Christmas, so it's fun for me to play multiplayer with him and my grandkids 300 miles away.

My PS3 plays all the Sony exclusives I want, plus serving as an external hard drive for my Vita and PSP, functionality the PS4 abandoned. A PS4 for one lonely Gran Turismo update? No thanks!

There has to be a rise before it can fall. The giant X on the box has always been a warning to consumers to not purchase.

the ps4 kicking the shit out of the xbox this gen has been incredibly good for xbox.

backwards compatibility with all gens of xbox? fuck yes. and the scarlett is going to be BC with both games and accessories? this is a wonderful thing.

cross play? there are literally no downsides to it, and it's a positive for every single person. the idiots who think it's a bad thing are, well, fucking idiots.

gamepass? holy shit this is one of the best things for video games, full stop. it's the netflix of games. sony tried something similar with psnow, but that was a commercial and critical flop.

xcloud? yeah, it's streaming, but it's streaming off of the azure servers. arguably one of the best, if not the best, server farms in the world. the only company that can compete with them is google, and oh look, they're doing a streaming console now. but the fact you can take your entire library of games, and play them anywhere in the world, near lag free? fuck dude. you could do something similar with the ps4 if you have a vita, but it was, uh, shit. it's neat for in-home stuff, but trying to play over a network connection is a bad time. and, plus, it was limited to just a vita.

what has sony done this gen to better gaming for everyone?

nothing. in fact, they tried to stop crossplay, which is ridiculous.

edit: also it caused the creation of the 1x, which is absurd in its strength. and the elite controller, which is so tasty.

are the first party games kinda ass? you bet. gears 4 was gross (though 5 is really good), halo 5 was halo 5. it had solid gunplay, great visuals, and the best halo multiplayer since 2, but the story went to shit. forza is forza, you can't really complain about it but it's not my style. you have rares thing, which is whatever. ect. you know the story.

Yeah, I and many others are of the opinion that, at least as far as the gameplay and mechanics go, it was the best since the trilogy. That said, it was lacking in maps at launch and some of the forge shit they passed off as maps was a slap in the face. But they made some cool maps later on. The btb though... unless its changed since I last played it was all forge maps. At least some of those were solid H1 style maps

Microsoft was was overconfident with the success of the 360 and thought they could get away with middle fingering their customers with the Xbone.

Sony grabbed the golden opportunity Microsoft graciously handed them and succeeded with the PS4 as a result.

Although right now it's Sony who is overconfident with their success so who knows what will happen next gen.

I chose an Xbox One S over a PS4 solely so I could play Forza Horizon 2, 3 and 4. No regrets so far, those games are superb. The rumble triggers on the controller feel awesome too.

I've been playing halo since 2003 and was even briefly in the world leaderboard for halo 2. Halo 3 had great maps and was halo at its peak popularity but it had mechanical issues. The weapon balance was a little off, long distance shooting was completely fucked, and dual wielding was rendered completely pointless. As far as playability goes, halo 5 is ace although far removed from the mechanics of the original trilogy with the introduction of spartan charge and ground pound on top of sprint. 4 and reach were ass as far as multiplayer is concerned so 5 is the best in a while by default

I like Dunkey but he's pretty biased against Xbox. I strongly agree about the part about only getting a One because of friends since that was what I did(although I don't care for Uncharted or Tlou), I don't regret it though.

It seriously dismays me that even after all the shit MS tried to pull this gen w/ their Spybox One, before being forced to relent, and the utter dearth of exclusive titles (the MAIN reason to buy a particular console), that they still sold tens of millions of units.
A fuck up that bad you would think would have at least had them finish in a distant third place, but this gen basically confirmed that no matter how shit their product is, enough people will buy it by default that they are competitive w/ the other two. Doesn't give much incentive to actually try, going forward.

Xbox One honestly isn't a flop, and it's a damn shame. Wii U? Now that was a fucking flop. Which sucks, because it actually had an amazing (albeit small) library of games in its short life span.

Xbox1 will be distant 3rd very soon. Switch is close in sales and closing the gap quickly (36 vs 38 million units sold) despite the 4 year head start. Sony recently announced their ps4 just had the 100 millionth unit sold.

Won't be much longer before it is

Who gives a fuck? Make up your own mind ffs. Either way, there are tons of professional halo players too. They've had a bunch of huge tournaments so maybe you aren't paying attention. But yeah, a lot of the pro halo 2 and 3 players think those are the best. You know why? Because they were pros at those games so of course that's what they think. Nostalgia is very real and change is hard to stomach for a lot of gamers

The problem is Microsoft only releases estimates. And they estimated 41 this December (not actual) and not 4 years ago.

Doesn't matter if it is this gen or last. Switch will surpass it. It is actually WORSE if it is last gen if the switch is catching up so fast.

The switch is also like 200 bucks cheaper so that helps move units

Microsoft shot themselves in the foot with the Xbox One reveal, with the always-on Kinect, and the "Teevee" bullshit, as well as barely reaching 1080p, while the PS4 had exclusives, the best third-party ports, and game-centric.

And then Sony dropped the ball with PSNow, Microsoft has local backwards compatibility, and the Xbox One X ports trounce the PS4 Pro ports. Xbox is still lacking in exclusive games, and seeing how Sony bought Insomniac (which was independent before), Sony most likely will rerelease Sunset Overdrive to the PS5, all while Microsoft lost all the rights to the game except for the original Xbox One release, so that stings for Microsoft.
