I may be too soon for another room. The tv stuff is really great. I hate not being able to talk to my other TVs.
Xbox One- what would it take to get YOU to buy one ?

A new Gears with an intact horde mode and a new Viva Pinata. Nothing else at all.
Because I have a pretty darn good PC currently and if you want to "sell" me on getting a console it better have games on it that I couldn't play on my PC. You buy a Wii U knowing that no Nintendo games are going to ever come on the PC.
Basically the gist of it is that i'm not wasting money on a bad console in order to play the worse version of a game.
Own a PS4, Xbox One and a pretty decent gaming PC. Couldn't agree more.
Oh, and where is the "PS4 - what would it take to get YOU to buy one?"-thread?
Of course it would be worse, sony brought out a 600 dollar console when there WAS competition and It couldn't even have better multiplats, Just saying.

Scalebound being as good as Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101.

Lack of time to play that many games makes buying all of them not worth it for most people.

5-10 legitimate, high quality exclusives games (and I have a powerful gaming PC so 'console exclusive' doesn't count).
I bought and sold 3 X360s last gen because I just never had a reason to play it save for a Halo/Gears game. Not making that mistake this gen.
The Master Chief Collection and Sunset Overdrive have me frothing but those aren't nearly enough for me to drop 400, I'm guessing it'll probably be a year or two before I make the jump.

Three things will get me to buy an Xbox One.
Steam disappearing over night.
Nvidia & AMD no longer making GPUs for consumers.
PS4 being removed from shelves.

I can't think of many examples of an industry essentially run by one company that didn't screw over it's consumers, I doubt video games and Sony would be the exception. Just look at what they did after they dominated in the PS2 era.

I really don't think so. I have bought the 3 xbox consoles and I can count with my fingers all the FPS I own, half of them are actually part of a science fiction saga I do enjoy (Halo) and that doesn't mean I only have a dozen of xbox titles. I think If you care for diversity you will find many titles that appeal to you in the catalog of any console.

No it's not bad for us. If the single market leader would start to really exploit its status, people wouldn't support it anymore. It's not like consoles and games are food and water what we need to stay alive, consoles are just materia which we don't need at all. You make an overpriced shitty commercial product, no one will buy it: just look at PS3 and Xbone. People will move on to other things... say mobile and PC.
It would be a suicide to start pissing off your paying customers when you're monopolizing the whole market. That's when you need to start milking them and make them happy so you can earn more and more money. Isn't that like the 101 of capitalism?
Unless I suddenly get a lot of disposable income, then there's not very much at this point that could convince me to get one for a long time. It would have to take a very low price (~(~£200) and a strong, solid lineup of exclusives. It would also need Sony to dramatically drop the ball in a few years time, like MS did with the 360. That's what convinced me to buy a PS3 in 2012, so I don't think that's being particularly unreasonable.
I can't think of anything at this point since I don't think a BIG exclusive will make sense for a publisher any longer due to the install base and sales trending, and any multiplat will be better on another system.
In fact if they did get a big exclusive that I really wanted (Skies of Arcadia 2 for example) I'd probably be salty that it wasn't coming to PS4/PC because I'd feel like I could have gotten a better version of it on those platforms.

Pretty much this. I game on my PC more than I do my XB1 but mostly thats because i'm playing games that don't require my absolute attention all the time and I can play them during lulls when working.
I also own an XB1 and enjoy playing games on it with and being spectated by my wife. We love scary movies, and while i'm pretty sure there is a PC version of Outlast, I coudn't say for sure because the thought of getting it for pc never crossed my mind. Nope, Outlast was gonna be played on my much larger tv screen, on the couch in the dark living room with my wife, with the sound on my surround system up so that I could feel her react to the scares. In this case, it beats the bloody hell out of playing it with us sitting in chairs at my computer desk.
But yea, people who didn't buy an XB1 should definitely act like someone is CRAZY TOWN BANANA PANTS if they own one.

This is the only reason I have an Xbox One sitting in my room right now. Microsoft has been a little ballsier than Sony in picking up big budget games as exclusives. They didn't quite get me with Titanfall, but I was sold as soon as I found out Sunset Overdrive was only coming to Microsoft's machine.

Fable 2 was never released on PC. Many people consider that one the best (I've never really cared for Fable, personally).
people need to get over this shit.
I've personally never came across a game on Xbox that made me say "I MUST PLAY THIS".
Halo, GoW, etc aren't enough to sell me on buying an Xbox console. However, Scalebound seems like a very interesting game that I'd want to play. Seeing how many Xbone exclusives are coming to the PC lately, I'll hold out.

£300+game bundle.
Or any price if MS guarantees Western versions of Yakuza 5, Ishin, 6 and all future Yakuza games on the console.

People need to get over telling others to get over it. It's probably only going to make them dig in that much harder.
Silly hyperbolic attitude to have. I suspect with all those faulty systems you might need to look into dusting sometimes, lol.
Nah, people need to get over it.

Yes because the RROD was just dusty homes. Wow...
And no you don't get to tell people to get over it unless you're paying their bills.

A pricedrop to 250-299, some true JP and Western exclusive who be enough.
I found the system already a little bit interesting with Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break and Halo MCC (never played any Halo game) but if they end up on Pc like DR3 and Ryse, I'll just buy them there.

Honestly with the dropping of Kinect and the changes to XBLG, the system is at the point where I would consider buying one for the current and future exclusives. The problem though, is that the release calendar for games is going to be packed starting next week, so I will have more than enough to play without an XBO until at least late Spring. I figure I will probably end up getting one when the drought kicks in next summer, and by then the price could be even lower, so that is a bonus. The XBO is the "second console" for most people around the world this time around, and it is much harder to sell people a second console than a first.
I don't spend more time playing games because I own a Ps4, Xbox One and a gaming PC.
But the fact that I'm not bound to one platform gives me more choice and freedom.
Im here for the games, not to defend and hold on tight to just one platform.
The standard technological failure rate for a product is between 3 and 8 percent.
The 360 was at around 40% when they finally offered free warranty extensions. That's not something about "dust".
as great a platform the 360 was it had massive hardware issues. that dust line was embarrassing 6 years ago, and it still is.
Yes, make up things that I supposedly said. Please point out where I said Just.
Further, I can tell people to get over it, its not relevant anymore.

As of right now, not enough software tailor made to my tastes so it may take a while, and I am fine with that.
With that said...
It took until the 9th post but ya, Japanese software, specifically JRPG's. The Xbox 360 provided it's user base with these types of games early on, therefor it absolutely was the catalyst for me owning the system and everything afterwards was gravy.

I'm waiting for the Xbox One slim, but if Alan Wake 2 comes out exclusive or gets a bundle with the system I would definitely have to buy one.

If I had $400 bucks to spend. Preferably $520 so I could get Gold and a game. I'm already sold on the system since Halo 2 alone is gonna steal so much of my time.

You blamed his faulty systems on dust. THE most ignorant fanboy move I've read here in ages. Hiding behind the word just is ludicrous.
You don't get to decide for others what is relevant. Only for yourself.

I honestly don't think anything could. I mean, it is getting an exclusive Kamiya game and has an exclusive fighting games, and I don't have the interest. I think a lot of it is just that I don't want to pay two monthly subscriptions. I refused to pay even one last gen, but without PS+ I wouldn't even be able to play fighting games online, which is my main genre. Can I really justify two monthly fees for my hobby?

The PS4 not existing or the Xbox One dropping to some absolutely absurdly low price.
Hell even then I'm not sure I wouldn't just throw that money at a Vita or a new computer.

Incorrect, I blamed nothing. I said I suspect that he lives in a dusty place, because the fact is dust can kill electronics.
And yes I can state that its irrelevant, they can decide afterwards if they choose to look at what is happening now instead of last year to agree with me or not, but that doesn't change the fact that I can state that its irrelevant.

Dust didn't play a part in RROD.
And it's not irrelevant for him so stop being a douche. I expect you won't as you've shown your true colors already.
Yes, i'm sure not a single xbox failure was ever accelerated by dust buildup, particularly in households with multiple failures... Still haven't stated that his were, just that dust is bad for electronics. Beyond that, I didn't even actually see him say they were RROD, could have been any other type of fault, the OG had an issue with the power adapter. Could be drive failure could be any number of things, I believe you're the one who assumed RROD.
And name calling? really?
And things that happened last year, and policies that don't exist now really have no bearing on any conversation about things that are happening in the current time. Its clear to anyone who even makes a passing effort at being objective that MS stance has changed. Hanging on to the past and wishing for there to be no competition in the market over shit that's over and done with is pretty silly.
What you and so many others fail to understand is that it is less about the currently argued marginally noticeable performance divide and more about the potential performance gap as the generation progresses. The hardware difference is substantial enough that down the road as the coding becomes more and more efficient and thus more and more performance is squeezed out of the hardware the gap could be far more prevalent than it is currently. As time goes on the coding will inevitably get closer and closer to each console's theoretical maximum performance threshold and with demonstrably weaker hardware the XB1 will most assuredly have a much lower maximum performance threshold than the PS4 no matter what coding techniques and tricks are utilized. So, to put it bluntly, many think (myself included) that the current performance differences are just the tip of the iceberg. Whether or not you agree future potential is a major driving factor for the purchase of a console and the results speak for themselves so far.
599.00 USD, have we forgotten?
And you don't have to buy multiple consoles. I'm not buying a PS4 till there's a drastic price drop. There's nothing on the system that interests me that I can't play elsewhere.
At the end of the day console makers are in it for the cheese. If they are the only game in town, they are going to take you to the cleaners. It's not that hard to figure out.
