No. I was going with them pre reveal but they fucked it all up. So I went with ps4 and will not get a second (weaker) console.
Are you interested in buying a $399 Xbox One without Kinect?

Nope. Even at $250 I wouldn't buy one, xbox exclusives don't interest me enough and games run better on the PS4. The only way I would buy an xbone is if Microsoft somehow acquired Naughty Dog.

Na, price is still high and ps4 is my primary gaming machine. I might get a bone in like 2 or 3 years when the price drops and just get a backlog of exclusives, if MS actually has a decent library, which is something they havent in the past imo. Wii u and Vita are much higher on my list. I do think Phil is doing a good job so far however, have much more confidence in the xbox brand then I ever had in any point of my life at the moment.

If the Xbone as it stands today was the console that they had revealed, I might have bought one. However, for me, the Xbone's issues were more than just the price tag - and Kinect. So, I bought a PS4, because Sony said all the right things while Microsoft said all the wrong things. Microsoft have lost me till next gen, where they can try again to win my business.
I think dropping the Kinect and the price point is going to keep the Xbone competitive, though. Sony will have to stay aggressive if they want to keep ahead. Which benefits me greatly.

Nope.
MS missed the boat this gen, in hardware specs, pricing, philosophy. All they are doing now is trying to play catchup - but if you have a PS4 there is still nothing appealing enough on the XBO to make you want to fork out $400 for one.
Maybe at $350, maybe sometime next year when there are a few exclusives in a cheap bundle - but by then Morpheous will be here so.....

Not enough justifiable content. Currently, it isn't worth more than $250 for me. Get more compelling exclusives and release the white console, and the price I'm willing to pay goes up.

You see this mentality I don't understand. Consoles like the PS1 were more money than the N64 yet the N64 was more powerful. The PS1 sold fine.

Well...yeah, I said sometimes! I plan on buying a Vita soon. Since I'm paying for PS+ it seems like I'm losing money by not having one. Or at least that's how I'm justifying it
No. I'm not all that interested in their lineup and as non-American I feel left out by a lot of the services they offer and their overall entertainment strategy.
Also, I see no point in buying a xbox one over the more powerful PS4 at the same price.
The difference is the PS1 and the N64 had vastly different lineups. This isn't the case anymore in this industry.

I'm probably going to wait to see how Halo 5 turns out before buying an Xbox One, but yeah, the new SKU is way more appealing to me. The sooner MS ditches Kinect, the better. I don't want a marginally useful peripheral -- I want games. That's the selling point that matters to me.

Eventually maybe, but it will be the last of the 3 that I buy. Can't put my finger on it but it just doesn't do anything to excite me at all. I don't see any exclusives around the corner that will make me want to drop money for it either.

Aside from a handful of titles, the libraries could not have been more split, though. Like, I'm willing to bet amongst any generation, the PS1/N64 had probably the most variety between two consoles.
In this case, easily 80% of the games on both consoles are the exact same.
Maybe? I would have also been fine with it at $500 if a game commanded my attention strongly enough. There are just still no games exclusive to either console that convince me to spend money on them. Multiplats can always be played on PC.
Though I admit, I was close to impulse buying one for Killer Instinct, but it passed (as impulse buys tend to do).

Yeah, but I'll probably hold out 'till the fall and see what the holiday line ups look like.

I think that was more of a game difference more so then specs difference.

No. I'm interested in the full experience which includes Kinect (for voice commands and the very very rare game that might look interesting (almost certainly a Harmonix game) This price drop did nothing for me. I was close to biting on the $450 Titanfall package with a year of Live that Target offered but I have no time for the systems I already own so I'm not adding another one now. But I certainly wouldn't buy something that's a worse deal.
Anyway, this is just the base price. By the end of the year Microsoft will be bundling games with it at the very least.

That's my point though, it all comes down to games. So if the library is interesting enough most people really don't care about horse power.

No, not at all.
I'll only consider buying an Xbox One way late in the game, when the price has dropped even more, and its library has expanded exponentially.

There are no games I care enough about on the system, that I can't get elsewhere. So the price drop doesn't change much for me at all.
Same goes for PS4.

what's difficult to understand - with the vast majority of games being 3rd party, where would you put your money?

Not yet.
I have a giant pile of games I still want to play on PC, last-gen consoles, and handhelds. If the Xbone was really cheap (like $300 or less) or had some immediate, must-have games, or if the PS4 was such a weak competitor that it would likely fail to get decent third-party support, things would be different. As it is, it's probably going to be at least 2-3 years before I bother with an Xbone.

As it stands, they still don't offer me the same value that I get from PS+ on sales and IGC, they still don't have the power of the PS4, they still don't have the massive first party catalog, and as such they don't have my business.

Because at the end of the day it is about games. That is just one generation example. Rarely does the most powerful console sell the most. Obviously since we are so new into this generation that each console hasn't been able to differentiate itself yet but that is going to come in due time starting with this E3. Even with the Xbox and Playstation coming close to parity in 3rd party support their exclusives is what people will end up buying the consoles for, not the power (for the most part).

Nah, I don't think there's really anything to draw me into the xbox ecosystem. I'm pretty entrenched with Nintendo and Sony, and despite a handful on exclusives that made me curious, it was never enough to make me jump in. I suspect the same will be true for the 'bone

of course not. I have a gaming PC. I can only barely justify a PS4 in a few years.
This plus a slim revision. The box is way too large. Learn to engineer hardware, MS.

Exactly. They had better treat both right, or I'm not buying.

No. I have never been a fan of their exclusives, and the only Microsoft owned ip that i'm interested in is Battletoads, which they have never used. Also multiplatform games play better on ps4.
If anything, I'm interested in owning a Wii U as a second console (fix your online system Nintendo, digital games should be tied to a an account, not to a physical console).
