The Sony and Nintendo consoles just seem more interesting to me

I've all of them.

I've all of them.

The whole of them?

Had OG and 360, but skipped one. That was a horrendous e3 presentation and don't think I've missed any game I really wanted to play except halos. Hoping to get a series X sometime down the future.

lol I missed a word there, but lmao

I've owned the original Xbox and the 360, which I thought were great, but I passed on the One due to a lack of exclusives.

I'm not sure if I'll get a current gen console, though, but if I do, I've heard great things about both the PS5 & XSX, so it might be a difficult choice between the two.

Had all but Xbox One.

OG was okay games-wise, 360 was incredible until it red-ringed, lolXbone, and got a Series S last Christmas and I like it more than Playstation 5

I got the og Xbox for halo. I got the 360 because PS3 launch was awful. After my 360 red ringed I never got another Microsoft console again.

I've never owned an Xbox either and haven't had a Nintendo console since GameCube.

I've had every PlayStation console and handheld except PS5.

Was checking what good exclusives One had and it's all Halos, Gears and Forzas. No wonder many of us skipped it.

The original xbox for it's time had some amazing online console gaming. Sony was still messing around with having a network adapter add-on for the original PS2 model with 56K users being able to play alongside broadband users (which of course was laggy as hell) and the cube had a whopping all of like what, 3 games or so that actually used that network adapter. (PSO episode 1 and 2 which was amazing, but then its like phantasy star online episode 3 card battle and......that was kind of it).

Here comes the xbox with it's mandatory broadband requirement and unreal championship 1 n' 2, dead or alive ultimate, it's own version of phantasy star online episode 1 and 2, return to castle wolfenstein (which was leagues better than the PS2 counterpart. The PS2 could only muster just a single player campaign whereas the xbox version had two players co-op for the campaign and a 16 player online mode....which was fun as hell. Seriously I played return to castle wolfenstein for like, 8 months straight), rainbow six, splinter cell, halo 2, hell it even had a version of guilty gear x2 reload that was online capable....the input delay sucked all kinds of ass but dammit I was beating ass with anji online back in 2004/2005). Other online games I played on it was stuff like sega's spikeout and conker live and reloaded. (which was surprisingly fun for what it was. Assassins was a little too strong though).

The og xbox admittedly did not work too well as a "main console" since you would miss way too many of those good 1st/2nd/3rd party games that was on the PS2, but goddamn it was an amazing companion console, even more so because some of those western-made 3rd party games like psy-ops was so much better on the xbox compared to the ps2.

The xbox 360 was awesome back when xbox live arcade was all new and devs was figuring out that making cheaper digital releases like bionic commando-rearmed or porting old classics like doom n' castlevania symphony of the night = easy money. Indie dudes was also getting their start on there with stuff like dishwasher, shank, charlie murder and all that.

I do agree the xbox one was kind of a dud though. I bought one just to play gears of war 4 and that game was kind of a let down for me, =/

That's why I skipped it. It wasn't even the online-only part, it was the fact that with a PS4, I had zero reason to get one

I've had the original, 360, and One. I thought the first 2 were great, but I probably only used the One for about 10 hours since almost everything I care about came out in PC.

I had an original xbox and had a 360 throughout it's whole generation, then grabbed a PS3 to play the exclusives I missed. Jumped over to PS4 from there, and now PS5.
