The Xbox One is no longer worthwhile to the multiplatform buyer

GearNuke: "Last Gen I did most of my gaming on the Xbox 360 and towards the 2nd half of the generation bought a Wii and PS3 for their exclusives. It was pretty clear from the get go that multi-platform games looked and performed better on the Xbox 360 than they did on the PS3. PS3 exclusives obviously were much better comparatively but the relative easiness developing for the Xbox 360 made sure that most if not all multi-platform were better on the Xbox."

[XiMasterChief]

Can we stop getting articles like this. The only console is Ouya.

[NatureOfLogic_]

Why? Will this article make you enjoy your console any less? PS3 got a lot hate last gen. I didn't stop enjoying my console for one second though. I also don't remember crying about every negative PS3 article like Xbox fans do a lot. I would just provide a counter argument and then go about my day. If you don't agree with article at least attempt to provide a counter argument instead of complaining about the number of articles that you don't agree with.

[ABizzel1]

@ArgumentumAdPopulum

I must say I didn't agree with it when it was happening to the PS3 either, although I eventually ended up owning all 3 (sold the Wii). But I will say you are completely right. When this was happening to the PS3 I really didn't care. I ignored it, posted counter arguments, and went about my business.

The PS3 had no games was always shut down by me, and people would try their best to argue against it, and it would always come down to well it doesn't have Halo 3, Bioshock, Gears, and Mass Effect. Meanwhile I was enjoying Warhawk, Uncharted, Ratchet, God of War 2 (PS2 game), Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Heavenly Sword, and Resistance.

@XiMasterChief

Unfortunately the internet is full of trolls, and you're just going to have to put your big boy pants on and get past it. If you see the troll headline, skip it. If you see false information post facts in the comments, and report it.

@People who trolled the PS3 early on
It's unfortunate, but this is a lesson in Karma, and once you start a bad habit you should expect it back 10 fold, and that's what's happening here.

[BX81]

I agree, I don't get it at all. All 3 consoles are worth getting at this point. This gen is gearing up to be fun as hell

[Brim]

@ABizzle

Idc what system you own there is no way anyone should disagree with that post

[thrust]

Each console has a game that you want to have for your self!

Wii U has games like mario kart
PS4 has games like uncharted
Xbox has games like halo

You get want I mean tho, each console has exclusive games you want and that's why any person who likes playing games will allways buy every console that is released.

Last gen I owned 3 ps3s, 4 xbox 360s and 2 wiis.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

Fo'shizzel ABizzel!

People complain about PS3 fanboys, but I always said it was just payback from early last gen when EVERYBODY (esp. media) took a crap on the PS3...until the PS3 devs caught up with the hardware and PS3 took a crap on the 360 with lost exclusives and better graphics on its myriad of 1st party titles. And the 360 fanboys had to choke on crow.

PS4 is out, and they're STILL coughing out feathers. They should take heart that what we read from today's fanboys is childish and spiteful and may in no way reflect the tomorrow's reality. I felt bad about having a PS3...until I played Heavenly Sword.

Heavenly Sword was and still is an awesome game. It shown the PS3 was every bit as good if not better than 360...although I heard all the time the 360 had better graphics. Too bad many skipped out of the PS3 and it may never resurface as an IP.

[redwin]

I have them both and if my Xbox one brakes, I would difinetly get another. Nowhere in this article he said he has them both and he has played them both and he prefers one over the other.,

[CorndogBurglar]

I'm pretty sure he was just joking around. The dead giveaway is when he mentioned the friggin' OUYA!

[Tctczach]

I love that you use the hate on the PS3 from 8(?) years ago to justify the Xbox One hate. Grow up.

[horndog]

Why?? Because it isn't news. These OPINIONS are getting pretty old and fast. Go play some indies.

[TheGreatAndPowerful]

Was it ever?

[XiMasterChief]

No, because we articles like the time. Also why is it you had to bring up the this?

[Potnoodle999]

@ABizzel1
Very well said sir! People like to act like trolls are a new thing but xbox is getting exactly the same treatment as the ps3 got :) It's just a different set of trolls, but some people have valid arguments and I think that all of this negative reception to the xbox one is justified because it happened exactly the same last gen :D
#dealwithit
(haha I couldn't resist...)

[Dontworrybhappy]

I think its more of a, "I'm tired of seeing the exact same fucking news stories everyday". At least that's how I feel. What happened to the games man?! All I see is people talking about resolution, exclusives, and the damn console wars anymore. I miss my gaming site. :(

[VegasDawg]

When you come to this site; Is your eyes closed? This place is loaded with nothing but whiny PS fans lol. People like you confound me. It's right in front of you but you can't see it.

[Seafort]

@VegasDawg It wasn't when I first joined this site. It was an Xbox stronghold. That's when the PS3 was getting all the stick from xbox fanboys and the media.

Karma's a bitch and now the shoe is on the other foot the xbox fanboys don't like it.

I'm in neither camp as I'm a PC gamer and hated by both sides :P

[starchild]

That's funny. Anybody that was around on N4G at the beginning of last gen can tell you that the Sony fanboys and Microsoft fanboys dished it out to each other pretty equally. The Sony fanboys weren't the innocent victims they try to portray themselves as.

The PS3 was my favorite console last generation and the PS4 is my favorite console this generation, but I honestly don't think the hate the PS3 got from Microsoft fanboys and the media was even half as bad as the hate towards the XB1 today.

[nicksetzer1]

This article is absolutely hilarious, PS3 must not have been worthwhile either right? As it had a lower res and framerate on most multiplats, especially early on. Nowhere near as many titles shared full parity (natively) between last gen as have this gen so far.

@augmentedadplum Sadly the only ones who seem worried about the disparity (whcih is occurring less and less often) are PS owners, you seem to think the xbox owners are upset about it....

[ABizzel1]

Unjust or not (in most cases unjust) that was the opinion of many at the time about the PS3, until Sony proved that the PS3 was powerful, was worth it, and had amazing exclusives.

But that original stigma burned the PS3 in the US, where the masses are generally uninformed and just go with whatever they here rather than try to experience things for themselves, and it never really recovered there until the PS4.

Unfortunately for MS they're in a similar position, except the hardware performance battle can't be won by them, which is why they need to win the PRICE and games battle like they were doing with the 360 early on.

[NatureOfLogic_]

As someone who has never owned a Xbox before, I'd say the same was true for PS3 last gen. I just had deal with and still enjoy the multiplat games for what they were. Xbox fans seem to have a hard time doing that.

[MysticStrummer]

"PS3 must not have been worthwhile either right?"

Whether it was or wasn't to each individual there were plenty of articles saying it wasn't. XB1 will see a lot more hate/doom articles before it catches PS3.

[gootimes]

@Nicksetzer1

Obviously Xbox fans are upset about the disparity, how many people on these forums bring up the fact that the disparity is "Occurring less and less often" and cloud this, dx12 that SDK this. PS3 fans dealt with it in a mature way and X1 fans can't move on. Obviously PS4 will have a hardware advantage through it's life, meaning in one way or another games will play a bit differently on it, not necessarily just a res difference.

[strangeaeon]

What I find amusing is people crying about how bad Xbox 360 fans trolled the PS3 early on, but I was here with a different account and I recall Sony fanboys being even more obnoxious. You guys think you had it bad last gen? Try being a fan of the first Xbox, Sony fans treated us like a pariah back in those days.

[metalmatters]

@strangeaeon yes but back in the xbox 1 days(the first xbox smh MS -__- even the name...) anyway back then, the internet was not full of n4g sites, yes the first box was sort of hated, but that was because MS was new to the game, everytime a new player comes in, its bound to get some fire. It was more powerful thats for sure, but at that time PS2 had so many exclusives, MS had to show why their box mattered and they failed at that. They caught a brake with the x360 but that was partially cause of Sonys arrogance.

This time around MS thought they had the fanboys in the pocket, that theyd be blind enough to play by their rules MS saw fit like it or not. Turns out we dictate the pace because we are the ones with the money, they forgot about that small detail.

Karma is a Bi*** and now its biting all you xbox fans left and right. PS3 was blasted to hell all last generation, even when it got better in the later years with better exclusives than xbox, it was still getting blasted with the whole cross chat, xlive is better argument. I was there I saw the whole thing unfold, Sony lost millions of customers because of xbox trolls going way out of their way to make sure the PS3 was seen as nothing more than a George Forman grille

[Blaze929]

lol the Xbox One hate game is TOO strong.

[DigitalRaptor]

If this was a "game", Microsoft would know it and act accordingly.

The article is bit disingenuous, but at the end of the day, this is an industry, and there are often harsh realities to accept.

[Back-to-Back]

More like the XBox One support game is too strong. People like you forget how that console debuted.

[eferreira]

Lol Ouya will rule all. I have one and it's pretty great emulation and streaming machine.

[bababrooks]

This is bull..nada..crap. Games full stop,

[reko]

@horndog

go play some umm idk you dont have great games.

[Evilsnuggle]

I Laugh when xbonefanboys cry about how unfair gamers and the media have been to x1.
The gaming media destroy the PS3 in the early years of its of the PS4 . I didn't care Because preferred OG Xbox over PS2. OG had better multi platform game and my choices of exclusives. Also I was blown away by Halo . And yes the gaming press were doing their job. Sony made a lot of promises That they never delivered On like toy story graphics. Don't get me wrong the cell was cutting edge technology. But not even Sony could utilize the power of the cell CPU. Most game website and gaming media had 2 different reviews of multi platform games and the 360 version was always had a higher reviews score . The gaming media ridiculed PS3 for under preforming verses 360 a lower price console as they should have. But in now the PS4 is far more powerful than the x1 at the same price or a higher price. The PS4 multi platform preform much better than on x1. PS4 has 1080p vs 900p is almost 50% more pixels and 1080p vs 720p is over 125% more pixels. Also multi platform game have higher and better frame rates on PS4. Same review from the so called gaming media for both the PS4 and x1 the so called gaming media. The gaming media never point out the best version of games . The gaming media is not doing their job they should point out every different in multi platform games and help the consumer decide . Help the consumer make it's own intelligent choice. Not worry about offending fan bases or advertisement dollars .

The so called gaming media killed the Sega Saturn Because it's weakness in 3D never in my life have I seen a game console get so much hate as the Sega Saturn. But Microsoft has deep pockets and spend more on advertising than any other company of all times in the gaming industry and the gaming media don't want Microsoft to stop spending money so they turn a bind eye.

[Alabamarolltide1990]

TLDR

[marloc_x]

wall..of..text...*GASP*

..must..have..more..paragraph s

[Keltech]

I remember '07 in the magazine section at Walgreens, seeing a magazine (idk if it was GameInformer or Gamepro) and on the cover it had a pic of the PS3 as a George Forman grill. I was smh thinking; I never seen this before, a neutral game magazine posting this on the cover?. Remember reading xbox fans on here, saying how xbox was a better value when they were paying $400 for a machine that had no HDMI, no wifi, and buying a HD player separately. Like abizzel said above, just move on don't be disingenuous and when someone post a lie reply with the truth.

[BillytheBarbarian]

The Saturn hate was bad. But that was Sega of Japan's fault. Realize if it wasn't for Sega of Japan it would have been the Sega Playstation.

[trenso1]

Oh how the tables have turned from last gen to this one considering multi-platform games.

and you're not fooling anyone @xiMasterChief aka xiSaskueUchia aka xiNarutoUzumaki aka xiKisameHoshigaki.

[Infamazdre]

This article is dumb, I'll be playing my 3rd parties on my Xbox one right now finish up my wolfenstein and then get my ufc carrier started. Right now I see no reason to own a ps4, maybe next year

[MrSwankSinatra]

PS4 + PC is the way to go if you're all about multiplats. PC you get the superior multiplats and with PS4 you get the superior multiplats that PC doesn't get.

[98xpresent]

That's your way to go

[DeadlyOreo]

Yeah PS4 & PC is all you need this time around really. Looking forward to Bloodborne!

[OpieWinston]

PS4/X1/PC/Wii U is the way to go if you're "All about multiplats/Exclusives.

And if you're all about "Multiplats" just get a PC...Cut the console out of the picture.

You fanboys/fangirls need to wake up and smell the roses.

[MrSwankSinatra]

Clearly you can't read because i was referring to only Multiplats not exclusives and in case you're new to gaming there are Multiplats that PC doesn't get that the consoles do. IE: red dead redemption, destiny, MGSV, final fantasy xv, kingdom hearts etc etc etc..... BTW no ones fanboying here, but obviously you must feel some type of way to bring it up in the first place. Are you a fanboy?

[TekoIie]

@MrSwankSinatra

"BTW no ones fanboying here, but obviously you must feel some type of way to bring it up in the first place. Are you a fanboy?"

Are you implying that someone who is basically saying gamers should own all current gen platforms is a fanboy?

[OpieWinston]

@MrSwank
First of all for the "Superior Multiplats" experience, the best IS all platforms. You've got different friends who own different versions of each game.

As well as exclusive DLC on a platform that you like, for example some people who are really looking forward to the Destiny content on PS4. They'll pick up the PS4 version of Destiny, and they like the Exclusive content of The Division on X1. They'll pick up the X1 version.

You were suggesting 1 to 2 platforms is "The Superior Multiplat" experience for everyone...When in reality each console has their own multiplat benefits...Including Wii U, as certain games like Rayman legends have cool exclusive content for Wii U that some would enjoy.

And yes...You're the fanboy because I've seen your previous comments and you love to bring up PS4 in an article that has nothing to do with it.

If I'm a fanboy for owning all platforms (Aside from Ouya....YET) then I guess that you've proven my point.

[All_Consoles]

What exactly makes ps4 multiplats superior? It's all a preference depending on what controller you like and what service is better for you and your friends or which exclusive content in multiplatforms you prefer

[Insomnia_84]

I never understand the "friends" thing. Like "I bought X consoles becausenmy friends got it too". Never in my life will I make I mistake just because my friends do too. There's no logic in that. No common sense. Those with a brain of their own get what's best, period!!

[TekoIie]

@Insomnia_84

"Those with a brain of their own get what's best, period!!"

And to some enjoying a game with their friends is really the deciding factor in whats best.

[memots]

Dat grass blade said otherwise last gen

[mrpsychoticstalker]

Lol at Insomnia_84

[metalmatters]

yeah but all my friends got a PS4 now, because its the better console. The general consensus says the PS4 is better, thats why all my friends got it, thats why I got it. That your friends own the same console is just the icing on the cake.

[gamer1138]

You mean now that we're starting to see parity in resolution on multiplats? GTFO!

[NatureOfLogic_]

Xbox One hardware will always have inferior hardware compared to PS4. EA access, the cloud and even parity won't change that. According to sales, I would say most already seem to understand this.

[Dewitt]

Even parity won't change that?? I don't even..

[darthv72]

Genesis had inferior hardware compared to the SNES, did that make the games any less fun to play? Or the platform less desirable to own?

@below, it shouldnt matter if they are equal or not. there is no rule that says in order to release a system within a specified generation...that system must be equal to or greater than the others with the same generation.

there will be games that are only available to a platform and if you want to play those games then you have to get said platform. If down the road those games get released on another platform (including PC) then so be it.

It just means that now there is more opportunity for those who did not get the game when it initially released on the original platform. That in no way invalidates my choice to get the game when it first came out or even to pick up a remaster for another platform if i so desire.

Parity or no parity, there IS reason to have an XB1, a PS4 and a Wii-U and those reasons are based solely on the personal choices of the individual. No amount of graphs or charts or lists is going to change the personal desire of a consumer.

[NatureOfLogic_]

@ darthv72, I didn't say that Xbox One was less fun to play. I'm just tired of Xbox fans acting like a few games that are not very demanding reaching 1080p makes the hardware of PS4 and X1 equal.

[HeWhoWalks]

Parity has nothing to do with hardware strengths. In fact, it is WHY the "parity clause" exists in the first place, to put the system(s) on equal footing, regardless of technical superiority.

[OfficerDewey]

I agree with you there. Parity is only for the big publishers like EA and activision. It will show on their big games.

One thing i know is that others will play fair to a consoles strength. Also UC4 looked better than all the cgi trailers MS showed(imo).

[DigitalRaptor]

What's that?

You believe that the parity the has been reached in cross-gen games, indie games, and old isometric PC games represents what will happen when games are no longer being constrained by last-gen hardware, and games become more and more complex?

Parity on NEXT-GEN games is far from "starting".

And if a developer is aiming for parity and truly means it, they will ignore any strengths of a particular console in favour of keeping both versions the same. Pound for pound, PS4 hardware is still around 50% stronger in most areas than Xbone and developers would have to be pretty disrespectful to maintain parity when that is the case, particularly if there is a PC version that has all the bells and whistles.

[Dante81]

Darth, the Genesis was cheaper than the SNES, and it was released in 1989(2 years prior).

[NicSage]

I just got a XBone for my birthday, Enjoying it so far. Zoo tycoon ftw! Love my PS4 & PC & WiiU also.

[GodGinrai]

I only have the WiiU left to buy. I should have one, in the next 12 months.

[Sitdown]

I don't recall it ever being worthwhile for the multiplatform buyer....but there are legitimate reasons why someone would consider it. Controller preference, where friends exist, now the ea subscription service, etc... I dislike articles that try and give definitive answers based on their opinion and preference.

[Saito]

Xbox always seem like a "secondary" console.

[Saito]

@disagrees I mean Xbox just don't have the history or prestige of PS. I mean cmon! Look beyond reality and tell me if it really compares to PS. @below 1. Any company of quality and lineage can be deemed prestigious. Educate yourself boy. 2 Playstation solidified gaming unlike the non gaming console Xbox have been. I can tell you're not a gamer if yo think PS is a secondary console. You're just more sheep of a stupid generation. You have no value in gaming, just societal "normal" standards. Weak human.

[GodGinrai]

To be honest playstations have ALWAYS been secondary consoles for me. I bought a saturn before a PS1. I bought a dreamcast before a PS2..only for the OG Xbox, to steal away attention with Multiplayer halo. bought a X360 before a PS3..Bought an X1 before a PS4 (even though PS4 was the safer bet, Its the X1 that gets more playtime thanks to titanfall and forza..plus I will be playing halo, forza horizon, SSO AND destiny on my X1, this winter)..Each to there own.

History? prestige? they are an electronics company, not ferrari..slow down, buddy.

[Tito08]

@GodGinrai- Of course, why would anyone be surprised when you're clearly talk like a fanboy, you bought Saturn and Dreamcast before PS1/2 because those consoles released way before their respective competitors, duh obviously.

[ShaqSoda]

I dont care, I love my xbox one, and I like its exclusives more than ps4's. Especially this fall.

[manchesterman22]

wow another boring article, getting old fast this shit. Im sure PS4 and Xbox One owners will both agree!!! Who keeps authorizing this shit?

[GodGinrai]

The same old people that like having the same old conversation.

[Pogmathoin]

There are games on X1 not on PS4..... There are games on PS4 not on X1. Simple.

[G20WLY]

Yes, well done.

This article is about multi-platform games though...

[user367272]

I only have an xbox one and I am happy with the games coming out and I have no need for a PS4. I am a grown man and I can choose what I like and what I don't like for myself. These Articles are nothing but troll bait and I have my repellents ready.

[GUTZnPAPERCUTZ]

I love the Xbox One! Haters gonna hate, Still deciding if I want to build a PC or go the easy route and buy a PS4 next?

[BX81]

Decisions, decisions. I would say get a ps4, only because I love me some uncharted! I couldn't imagine not playing uncharted day 1. Lol

[fhizikz]

Get a ps4

[GodGinrai]

tough call. The PS4 is a good companion to your X1. Im guessing you have friends on XBL, and are content to play your Multiplayer games there (including multiplatform MP games, like CoD).

I have two VERY powerful PCs and to be honest, I still play MP/ multiplats on XB1 (PS4 for Multiplat single player, if it looks clearly, better. I play a few games on PC (hawken and mech warrior being my faves. I also have titanfall on both X1 and PC) but I still prefer consoles.

So I would say get a PS4 based on my experience ( I use my main PC for music production and the other is more of a play thing). Those multiplats will look better on PC, but you will be very lonely...where as the PS4 gives you the option of picking up anything you will miss on xbox ( like blood borne or the order, for example.

[Exies7]

Getting sick of the XB1 doom and gloom articles.

[towelie1288]

agreed....childish

[HeWhoWalks]

Good, then I'm sure the two of you shared these sentiments last gen with the PS3, right? Point - it happens to the "loser". As long as you spend time on the net, your "I'm sick of it" posts are useless.

[Exies7]

@HeWhoWalks

Actually I own both consoles. It isn't a matter of the "loser" being sick of it. It's the fact that none of this journalism is sound or even fact based. These people are looking for clicks. It's that simple.

I like both consoles equally but I'd like to be able to actually read a damn news article that's relevant and not log in to see children bickering about hardware and plastic.

Seriously, if any of you are over the age of 16, you need to reevaluate your priorities in life.

[jnemesh]

Get used to them. It's only gonna get worse from here on out.

[danny818]

Seriously. Enjoy the games you enjoy the to play on whatever platform you like! Gaming journalist are a joke

[eferreira]

Just imagine how the wii u fanboys feel lol.

[Exies7]

Gosh, I bet.

[metalmatters]

Im so tired of that weak argument "I own both consoles" do people really have all the time in the world to play all kinds of games in mulitple consoles? how about home theater space? where do you keep all those PS3,360,ps4,xone,wii controllers? how many tangled wires can you really have behind your tv? you own a PC too? where are you putting the tower? Those games, man with that many, where are your blurays and dvds going? and the peripherals for each console geesh thats a lot of friken space. Not counting space for cable box, router, modem, audio video receiver(because if you have money for all those consoles, you have money for a home theater set up) Kinect, PS eye, wii U sensors. WHERE DOES IT ALL FIT!! lol how do you manage your space!! HDMI cables alone are think and dont flex well to fit behind the setups, they take space, you would need at least 5 HDMI cables to have all that crap hooked up.

You either have no job and no school to have that much time to play PC, xbox, and PS games, oh and good ol' WIIu. The numbers dont add up man, the math makes no sense, do you watch movies and TV? just games?. please care to explain?!!

[SonyNGP]

I'm fine with my PS4/PC/Wii U/Xbone combo thanks.

[ABizzel1]

I'll be joining you in a week, only need by XBO.

[ABizzel1]

lol at the disagrees. Get a life, matter of fact get a job, so you can spend more time away from n4g.

[G20WLY]

^FWIW, I agreed with you, but to make a comment like your subsequent retort to those that disagreed with you - when you have made well in excess of 6000 (!) comments on N4G?..wow

Employed or not, you could take your own advice.

I say this with a heavy heart as I've read/enjoyed a few of your posts over the past week and you're definitely an intelligent bloke.

[ABizzel1]

@G20Wly

I been on n4g for 6 years, with 6000 comments which is less than 3 comments per day. And looking at the comment how I posted three 1 - 2 sentence comments:

1. saying I'm getting an XBO

2. laughing at the disagrees

3. responding to you

And the face I can afford all 3 consoles, both handheld, and a gaming PC within the first full year of generation, goes to show I have a life, it's just easy to comment when you work with computers all day, and you have a smartphone 24/7. And thank you for the compliment ;)

[G20WLY]

On the compliment front, you're welcome. I stand by it, which is why I was disappointed to see you would be suckered in to responding to faceless imbeciles getting a weird kick out of disagreeing with a perfectly valid original comment.

C'mon man you're better than that!!

Congrats on all the consoles, as well. I'm very wealthy too...you pat my back and I'll pat yours ;)

Now, quit wasting your bubbles on me and resume normal service; go forth and educate some trolls!

[Dudebro90]

Less than a year in and already making claims as if you know the future. I'm gonna bet they know next to nothing.

[yankolo]

This site really hate xb1...but.... IDGAF....yesterday I try the ps4 for the first time same happend when I try ps3 I dont like it...and I hate really hate the controller Is even worst than the ps3 controller and that was baaaad....ill keep my KI...TF...and FIFA thats it for me

[NatureOfLogic_]

There's nothing wrong with not liking the PS4. That's your opinion, I respect that. I'm sure If I tried Xbox One I would enjoy it. I just choose not to support MS is all.

[Saito]

Not a gamer

[towelie1288]

loving my X1 great games and more on the way
and the controller is better than the DS4......the thumbsticks hands down are better
but i have both soooo i love my PS4 also
i just like the exclusive more on the X1

[KirbysDump]

its cos they released the financials and everyone is panicing

[DeadlyOreo]

I'm sorry, off topic a bit but is there someone with hundreds of different accounts disagreeing with Sony fan's comments on this site? There seems to be a random uptick in Sony hate in the comments section I've noticed. Or is N4G turning pro Microsoft now? I hope to god it's not one troll.

[DLConspiracy]

That would be a lot of work. Still PS4 is more popular so the general public will sway the disagree/agree ratio soon enough. Don't worry...

[reaperofsouls]

@ deadlyoreo

it's the (XBUDS)xbone ultra defence squad they usually stop these sort of article coming through by reporting them for being flamebait, clickbait ,trolling etc..

[Artista]

for the first time ever in any gen, I couldn't resist owning an Xbox One. That X1 controller is perfectly engineered.
I just need to own that console.

I will be buying it this fall.. while I'll have a PS4 for my birthday so I can play exclusives titles, most of my gaming will be done on X1

[_LarZen_]

XBO is losing it's appeal day by day now. Microsoft has allot to prove next week at Gamescom.

[HappyWithOneBubble]

I think it's too late. Game over man game over.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[MultiConsoleGamer]

GearNuke is one of a handful of propaganda sites you always see on the front page of n4g. They all have a similar agenda, and in my eyes, zero credibility.

These article always bring out the worst kinds of people and they always cater to the lowest common denominator. They crap up the industry with click bait for their own personal fanboy agenda and their own financial gain.

[secretcode]

I like my Xbox One.

Uh oh.

[danny818]

Me too! Just jumped boat from playstation. Add me! Puppychow94

[Kiwi66]

Quick , run for the hills

[CervantesPR]

This is great for me as a mostly playstation gamer but i have a PC for steam sales and what not and now i know that sunset overdrive will be coming to PC as well as Scalebound, those are the only 2 games that look interesting from xbox one and its only because those games are not made by microsoft,i was never getting an xbox one anyways and was willing to miss out on these games but now that all these "exclusives" will end up on PC,then i can play them on PC,even the master chief collection is coming to PC according to that amazon UK post, not that i care anyway

lol xbox one is done,well it was done since FEB 2013 LOL

GREATNESS AWAITS PS4 all day every day baby

[JCOLE13195]

Never seen so much ignorance in one post. Can I have links confirming that Sunset and Scalebound are coming to PC? Also, you may have missed the fact that it was confirmed not long ago that the Master Chief Collection is NOT coming to PC.

[CervantesPR]

they said ryse and dead rising 3 was exclusive to xbox one AND WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED LOL

[marloc_x]

Greatness awaits?

#derpity derp

[JCOLE13195]

Each console has plenty of reasons to buy them in my opinion.

[DLConspiracy]

Very True. Unless you only get/can afford one system. Then you have the right to berate and belittle someones preferences. *sarcasm* The internet is a lovely place to have civil conversations by the way. :P

[Tedakin]

It's losing its exclusives if you want to wait a year to play them. The big first party games like Halo, KI, Gears and Forza won't jump to PC.

[i3eyond the Circle]

Yeah it's worthwhile to the exclusive and multiplatform buyer....oh and the better OS buyer....maybe the buyer who likes doing more than one thing seamlessly on the same screen that most smartphones,computers, and tablets have been doing for years.

Ps4 gamers have the better grass tho....it's all that matters because consoles aren't supposed to meet todays standard in device efficiency. It's all about the primitive one task at a time without choice that everyone loves.

[AceofStaves]

I've been a Sony/Nintendo gamer for decades. MS' consoles have never appealed to me enough for me to buy one. The only exclusives I wished I could have played last gen were 'Too Human', 'Blue Dragon', 'Lost Odyssey' and 'Tales of Vesperia.' Unfortunately, that lineup wasn't enough for me to justify spending the money to buy one.

While this gen has just begun, I haven't seen exclusives on the One that make me want to buy it yet. I don't need its multimedia features, and I use my consoles for gaming, not social networking, so I don't need it to run multiple apps at once.

Given PS4's much larger global install base, I'm certain I'll have more games to play than I'll have time to, exclusive and multiplatform, so I'm fine with my choice. And in the end, that's what it comes down to. Personal choice.

[hiawa23]

I got all three of the consoles, and the majority of multiplats I have on the One. I am fine with the multiplats on the One especially if they are online multiplayer. These topics are interesting..

[ScorpiusX]

Was never really a full Multi platform gamer, have always preferred my Xbox over all others . I'll be fine without the others.

[QuantumWake]

I would just like to point out in the article that Gears of War WAS developed by a third-party developer. MS now owns the IP and is being developed by first-party developer, Black Tusk Studios.

[gamertk421]

Ohhhhhkay...

[uth11]

I don't see a point in owning a PS4 and XB1. If I was to buy a 2nd console it would be a Wii U

[UnHoly_One]

I agree with that except I already bought both at launch.

I sort of wish I had picked up a Wii U instead of the PS4, that thing has only been used for the 20 or so hours it took to platinum infamous: SS, and has collected dust otherwise.

[AO1JMM]

I rather hate it when some so called games journalist claims to speak for me the gamer.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Lol....ridiculous. gotta love stuff like this.

[eferreira]

I have all 3 consoles but I mainly use the XBO and wii u for exclusives. All my friends play on PS consoles.

Loved the original xbox, 360 was hit and miss. Went through 5 different ones. The XBO isn't bad. Sure I have some gripes with it but all three are still new and will improve with time.

[static360]

oh my God shut up with these x1 doom and gloom shit.

[daBUSHwhaka]

Another BS article.X1 will have some AAA exclusives to shout about.

[DJustinUNCHAIND]

I just prefer Xbox over PlayStation. Sue me.

[schnodder]

why do you prefer the inferior console?

[DarkOcelet]

Aside from the inferior console which i think the whole world already knows , i think for me atleast the controller is better and the achievement system is great and i personally love gears of war even though 3 and judgement werent as super awesome as the first two , they are still great , and i hope they make 4 as awesome as the original

[UnHoly_One]

I prefer the Xbox One as well.

The only thing "inferior" about it is a tiny margin of graphical power that I couldn't care less about.

Everything else is FAR superior to the PS4.

You see, there are these things called opinions, and they differ from person to person. It's a wonderful concept, you should probably read up on it someday.

[schnodder]

i just wanted to know why.

i owned a XB1 but sold it to get a PS4.

[chaosx]

Im still more on the xb1 for the majority of my games purely because of the controller. Until i can get a third party PS4 controller with a stick config i feel is comfortable, like the one i had for my PS3 , thats the way it will stay. Oh and out of the two Ui , the xbox is nicer to use.

[DarkOcelet]

Aside from the controller , the achievement system is great and i dont want to lose that :( but aside from those two reasons , i think the ps4 is overall better ...

[NeoGamer232]

Dumb article. If you want the best possible experience you buy Wii U, pc, ps4, and Xbox one. This ensures you can play every possible game when it is available.

That is what real gamers that can afford it do.

Playing a year old game on a pc is like getting hand me downs... that's ok if you have to, but most people prefer to get their games when they are "new" content.

[Dante81]

How are "real" gamers going to afford it if they won't have the time for a job? This is one helluva time-consuming hobby to be buying/playing every decent game for every console/PC on release day.

[breakpad]

there is a saying that goes it is better your eye come out rather a bad reputation ..that exactly happened with Xbone it started idioticly bad with DMR and always online now , now with the bad exclusive library that always followed Xbox consoles ...they cannot save smthing

[Ko_Uraki]

More exclusives and more games at the best prices/deals.They wasted a year but they can still do very well.

[Artemidorus]

N4GSony strike again for allowing such nonsense.

[g4n]

I don't see what this dood found 'better' about his original 360. Was it the lolDVD disks from another century he liked? The missing built in wifi? The forgotten HDMI port? What was better?aybe he bought one of those slick HD-DVD add ons, that went well.

[arugula]

Well if its not worthwhile to the multi-platform buyer. Then I guess you can say they are no longer a multi-platform buyer.

Why be a multi-platform buyer when a PC is better then both PS4 and X1 combined?

[schnodder]

no hardcore console gamer will ever play on pc. my pc is for photoshop.

[schnodder]

same here!

with the PS4 you're on the safe side.

[DarkOcelet]

I swear the only reason stopping me from getting the one was the way they handle it,tv tv tv cod cod cod , screw consumers ,drm bullshit and higher price for a weaker console , man i love the 360 but Microsoft screwed up big time and they will have a hard time convincing me ... lol thats more than one reason :)

[IAM]

I have not the time.

[gamer7804]

Gotta love OPINION pieces but I can decide which of the three consoles I own to buy a particular game on, thanks.

[headblackman]

ok, n4g will kik a person for voicing his or her opinion while sounding like a troll, but they riddle their site with troll based articles and then they expect the fans not to say anything about this crap??? this is hypocrisy on a whole new level. this is some bull and it's allowing the less knowledgeable of the consoles to believe this crap even though it's just one playstation trolls attempt at swaying the less knowledgeable lambs over to the ps4 side because they don't know any better and most people listen to others instead of doing their own research with hands on experience to determine things for themselves.

THIS IS VERY BAD AND N4G SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES AND HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS!!

[corroios]

Yeah, right. Where were you couple of years ago?

- The PS3 is crap!!!
- Bluray! Who needs that!!
- PS3 is just to watch movies, do you even play on it?
- Does the PS3 got any games?
- why do gamers want a PS3?
- The price of the PS3 is crazy,
- PS3 is weak.
- The 360 multiplats are MUCH BETTER because they got a little more grass and run 2 frames faster...

and so on............................ .............................. . .............................. . ..........................

Years of this crap, millions of fanatics attacking the PS3. And now what were you thinking that would happen?

Microsoft crash and burn with e Xbox One. The strategy was to make a media center around the Kinect and attack the wii market along the same old formula Halo, Gears and Forza, but they are force to rethink and do all the 180...

You got a weaker console then the PS4, the diference in the multiplats is way bigger then last gen, its still expensive, even after 100 cut in the price, almost no real exclusive, like this year... timed exclusive is crap, their numbers are now close to the wii u and not the PS4.

Im not gonna talk about all the crap with the Cloud, DGPU, DX12, ESRAM and PR CRAP that we have read to try to hide the simple fact. The PS4 is better, more powerfull, a lot easier to work.

So, yes, you are gonna see a lot more of this news and millions of comments. What goes around comes aroud.

[Hardcore_gamerxbox]

Lol how long did if take you to think to write that much no one said ps3 was crap only problem with ps3 was it was hard to develope and no one forced Sony to put blu ray on ps3 and difference between multiplatform games is not as bad as used to be last generation you won't notice it unless you got 60 inch or bigger tv . People still enjoying their 360 when they want to go next gen I'm sure they gonna buy Xbox one

[GundalfDeGrej]

The "they started it" argument is such bullsh*t. It just proves Sony fans are just as bad as they were.

[mcarsehat]

Your opinion is no longer worthwhile to smart people.

[BABY-JEDI]

What a TROLL-TASTIC article. It's good to be a gamer not a troll.

[Hardcore_gamerxbox]

Seriously wat is wrong with Sony fan boys every bloody day they write BS about Xbox one if any of you thing ps4 is better why don't you spend a good time on your ps4 instead bashing Xbox one ?

[Goku781]

Xbox One is a waste of money. Any other console would be better to have at this point.

[paleselan]

Sunset Overdrive, Halo, Ori, Quantum Break, Kamiya's new game. All exclusives which make me happy to have bought an XBONE & PS4.

[T2X]

It's worthwhile if you think you'll enjoy it. Like anything else. Sometimes these articles just make you laugh.

[Petebloodyonion]

The problem with theses articles are that they are poor written opinions pieces.
OK I can take one from time to time explaining the drawback of a console when it's well written (It's not me I know)

Now let's take this article per example
"The Xbox One is no longer worthwhile to the multiplatform Buyer"
Inside I learn that MS is loosing exclusive game to PC market and for that I should stay away from it.

The article then prompt us with a logical choice at the end. a Pc user should then buy a PS4.

1) If I have a pc that play Glorious 4K (like in the article)
Should the tag The PS4 is no longer worthwhile to the multiplatform buyer work for same reasons?

But the article answer that a bit by saying according to the author, he think Sony as the best exclusive.

Ok again but isn't the article about: The Xbox One is no longer worthwhile to the multiplatform buyer?

Here's a real argument for a article like this

The WiiU is no longer worthwhile to the multiplatform buyer

because due to low sales of the console many 3rd party developer have stop developing key franchises on the console.

[VegasDawg]

Just another article to suck in the idiotic fanBOYs.

[neomahi]

All that talk about "Games will look identical with the PS4 versions looking marginally better." I keep hearing this same word over and over again which is "edge" or "edging" but, when everyone sits down to discuss it all, it doesn't seem like that's the case. Miniscule doesn't seem to be the case. It's a clear contrast in every comparative discussion. The PS4 is clearly more powerful and, look at the PS3 from Folklore, to 2009. Games will do the same on PS4 and Xbox One and the hardware will continue to show its advantages unless Black Tusk pulls a Naughty Dog, which I honestly don't think they have the spine to do.

[VP37]

So the Xbox One has sold more units during its first year than the 360 did during its first year, but 3rd party devs are considering not making games for the X1 because of low install base. Hmm...sounds like BS to me.

I was wondering why there have been so many more negative X1 articles here on N4G during this past week than usual, then I realized that Gamescom is upon us! Now it makes sense, gotta get the anti-Xbox hype train rolling for Gamescom.

[Berezau]

Clearly click-bait, regardless of your point of view on the consoles.

[RosweeSon]

Xbox one hasn't been since the initial reveal for both consoles but hey ho call me a fan boy all you want I've had an xbox 360 for the last 6/7 years do I want an xbox one, no thanks over priced and inferior. Pass!
