8 Disastrous Failures That Killed The Xbox One

With the Xbox One continuing to suffer from a distinct lack of exclusives and the console itself steadily pushing five years of age, Microsoft has a tough but crucial decision to make.

Much of its woes stem from a result of Microsoft's poor decision making throughout the console's lifetime, with cancellations and studio closures aplenty.

A fresh start is what the brand desperately needs - just as PlayStation did, following the disastrous PS3 - to get back on track. A blank slate where it won't be constantly reminded of the failures that led to the Xbox One's slow and steady decline.

Since they force you to click through 8 separate pages. Here’s the list.

8. The Cluttered UI
7. Microsoft's Overconfidence
6. The Competition
5. Self-Destructive Decisions
4. The Disastrous Reveal
3. Kinect's 'Integral' Nature
2. The Slow Turnover Of First-Party Exclusives
1. And The Undercooked Results

My opinion:

1. Phil Spencer
2. Major Nelson
3. Aaron Greenberg

[Parasyte]

How is Major Nelson a problem? He is basically just a spokesperson for Xbox and is told what to say.

[DarkVoyager]

“How is Major Nelson a problem? He is basically just a spokesperson for Xbox and is told what to say.”

He’s just very annoying. Xbox needs to restructure and get some new heads like Playstation has done in the past and more recently.

[Loktai]

Usually the point of a "talking head" is that they are an appealing "talking head" and in this case he feels more alienating and cringey than anything else

[rainslacker]

Did you see Major Nelson during the E3 after the reveal?

He was comical and impossible to take seriously. I think he knew the stuff he was saying was BS. His repoire is just terrible when things aren't just simple PR statements or carefully planned interviews. Angry Joe really showed just how bad he is as an actual PR person. He did nothing to quell the anger. Did nothing to actually explain anything. All he did was spew PR statements with no intention of trying to sell the product because he believed in what he was peddling. Part of salesmanship is being able to sell oneself, and Nelson represented exactly what people dislike about MS as a whole, and have for decades even before they entered the market.

[Abdou023]

Don Mattrick?!

[monkey602]

I genuinely don't think Microsoft get enough grief over the Xbox UI. For a software giant like themselves to make that clusterf**k is absolutely shocking

[chaos-emeralds]

I agree. I hate it. I want a simple layout like ps4 has with folders too. Even the 360 had a better dash in all its variations

[DJStotty]

what dont you like about the current UI?

[Gazondaily]

What's so bad about it?

[PFFT]

lol nah im glad it isnt as ugly, lazy and boring as the PS4's UI.

[UnHoly_One]

It never ceases to amaze me when I read comments like this and see a 10-1 upvote ratio.

The Xbox UI is fantastic. Everything about it is in the perfect place and easy to find where you would expect it to be. It's the best big screen UI I've ever used.

I don't understand the hate for it.

[darthv72]

the UI is fine, the big problem I have is the install times. How is it that PS4 can let you start playing a game after only a few minutes (while it installs in the background) but the XBO makes you wait until 50% (at least) has been installed?

I understand it also tries to get updates downloaded at the same time as it installs but they should let YOU make that decision to get updates after the game has been installed.

[Dragonscale]

The xbone ui is an unintuitive mess filled with adverts.

[AspiringProGenji]

@holy

you worry too much about a broken vote system... how about focusing on the context here? The people disliking the Xbox UI have a point. It is cluttered with texts and boxes, and also ads. Who about a simple UI where you find your stuff and click without much tabs? The Xbox 306 UI was good because of this. It's like MS thinks people spend too much time in it to make it that way. The fact that they have to redesign UI every gen shows they really can't nail a solid UI from the starts, while fanboys see this as a good thing and question why Sony doesn;t do the same. They don't have too. The PS4 UI does its job, it is responsive, simple and sleek

[UnHoly_One]

What Ads?

Somebody please show me where all of these terrible ads are?

There is one square on the home page that redirects you to the store, usually for a recent release or a sale or whatever. You know, the kind of things I want to know about.

What other ads are there that are ruining the UI for you? Maybe something similar for a movie on the entertainment page as well? I'm not even sure, I don't really use that tab.

I just don't understand. If you don't like the layout of the UI, fine, I don't really care. But where are all of these ads that are cluttering it all up or whatever other nonsense you're trying to tell people?

[monkey602]

Its needlessly complicated. It is very busy to look at. You shouldn't have to study the system menus to figure them out. They should be straight forward and to the point. Even trying to get through settings to sort audio devices is a pain. Having a custom theme isn't even as effective or personal as it should be because your screen is destroyed in pins

[Cueil]

the complete ignorance in these comments about the Xbox One UI is amazing... to even say the 360 has a better dashboard... crazy talk

[Parasyte]

The problem is, they deisgned the current Xbox UI when they were still trying to shove Kinect down our throats. Once they abandoned Kinect, they forgot to change it.

[rainslacker]

You're surprised? How many terrible designs to windows have they had through the years? Sometimes they strike gold, other times it's just crap.

[Cyborgg]

What about Don Mattrick🤔

[Razmiran]

He hasnt been here for 5 years already, he is just used as a scapegoat

[DarkVoyager]

“What about Don Mattrick🤔”

I’d take Don Mattrick any day over Phil. Yes he’s made mistakes but at least when mattrick was head of Xbox they had exclusives and wasn’t getting outsold 2:1

[Max-Zorin]

Don was a douche bag, but at least he didn't cancel games, close studios, and kiss Sony's ass every five minutes like Philly.

[rainslacker]

He was pretty bad on explaining MS vision. Or at least, he couldn't seem to connect the dots between that people knew the vision, but just didn't want it.

Despite that, In retrospect, at least the man green-lit games. I sometimes wonder if MS would have the lowest software output of their entire history if Mattrick were still in charge. I expect we'd see a lot of the same GaaS type crap, because I know that's some MS directive, but I bet they'd at least have more games to try and actually sell the system.

[Lennoxb63]

Don't understand the hate for the UI. They are big blocks with words and pictures on it. Either you can't see or can't read.

[mark_parch]

the og ui was shocking but the current ui is great the only thing that ruins it for me is the advertising.

[UnHoly_One]

What advertising???

One little block on the home screen that shows a new game or DLC and then directs you to that product in the store?

That is enough to ruin it for you?

[mark_parch]

How can you blame Major Nelson, he has nothing to do any decisions. Shannon Loftis definitely needs to go and as much as I like phil if he doesn't show they're serious about big AAA exclusives this E3 I would prefer somebody else took over. the hardware team have done a superb job with the xbox one x now the rest of team xbox need to step up

[manabyte77]

You forgot Satya. He’s the biggest problem out of all of them.

[gamer7804]

Lol "he's just annoying". Solid arguments. let's wait til after e3 to see what future for Xbox holds games wise

[Z501]

"wait til after e3"
*yawns*

[Dragonscale]

You forgot Mattrick. He should be no.1 on your list.

[trooper_]

All factual.

[gamer7804]

last time I checked saying an employee is "annoying" doesn't equate to what "killed" the xbox as factual.

[zugdar]

Nope. It was totally Don Mattrick who was the head of the whole xbox as a media center, only digital games and always on DRM on the system. Took the wind out of many gamers sails.

[Artemidorus]

First things first the UI in 2013 wasn't cluttered it simply had nothing there.

Second the kinect everyone hated did have potential especially with VR but they didn't go down that route thanks to millennials on a hate campaign wanting it to die.

[Z501]

You have to elaborate, lol.
How does being "annoying" kill a console?

[Gazondaily]

Xbox isn't dead though is it?

[Xavi4K]

well its not and I don't think Xbox brand will be gone at anytime soon

[thrust]

Goatking show is where you get this info from?

MS don’t care 😂 you know the Xbox one x just came out late last year the most power console in the world by far!!!

[Loktai]

@Thrust

"you know the Xbox one x just came out late last year the most power console in the world by far!!! "

You mean like every single new console that comes out? The VITA was the most powerful handheld in the world by far. the WII U was the most powerful console in the world by far when it came out.

The WII U is a good analogy since it came out right before the next console gen. If you havent seen the leaked specs Ill point out that Sony is preparing to release its most powerful console in the world by far some time in the next year... and anyone who dished out 500 bucks for the xbox which only unfortunately only plays XBOX GAMES (of which there are fewer than the playstation and many disappointing cancellations ) will have dished out 500 bucks to have "the most powerful console in the world by far" for about a year, year and a half, where as the PS4 was the most powerful console in the world by far from Nov 2013 until Nov 2017...

Also when you say by far I want to just point out that power didnt matter to xbox fans from 2013 til around the announcement of the XBOX ONE X specs... then it mattered. The XBox one X is about the same gap from a PS4 PRO as the PS4 is from a launch XBOX ONE. I Just want to point that out

[Godmars290]

It may in fact already be in Zune territory. The Xbox division long merged into Windows.

Wish I could remember where I read that. The article was recent too.

[akaFullMetal]

Not dead but the brand has taken a beating this gen.

[Gazondaily]

Tis true

[sazselesbon]

True.

[chaos-emeralds]

Sadly so. I genuinely think they've had a time out to come back and say we mean business. Maybe I'm expecting too much.. Still don't trust them though.

[trooper_]

Agreed.

[Gunstar75]

Agreed. It seems unless you're no.1 you're dead.
Idiots.
And Xbox is experiencing sales growth not decline

[PhilSpincer]

Then how did it have it's lowest sales of the gen last year?

[PFFT]

Far from it. The Sony fanboys are just delusional. The Xbox One is far from dying.

[antz1104]

According to N4G it's been dead since launch. This site will never change.

[passenger77]

I rather to be dead than like this, you know? To go in a big way, like the Dreamcast, being amazing for us gamers even thought it didn't sell well. Xbox used to be amazing, and now you fanboys justifying all this MS crap have your part of blame in the painful slow death Xbox sad spectacle.

[WOLFofWALLSTREET]

Theyll come back, just like Sony and Nintendo have multiple times.

[CaptainOmega]

And you know this how ?

[WOLFofWALLSTREET]

They've been too quiet and taking the hits but surviving.The only way is up now.

[DJStotty]

the question is how do you know they wont?

[KickSpinFilter]

History.
I'm sure Sony next gen is gonna be all up in their own shyte, Just like sony did going from PS2 to 3, Wii to WiiU, 360 to XB1, Sega Atari Etc

[CaptainOmega]

DJ.

Who said I don’t think they will?

I asked how wolf knew they would. Don’t change the burden of proof.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

That's right Sony and Nintendo can make a comeback, but certainly not Xbox that's right. Why? Because its Xbox, that's why.

[andibandit]

Because once you hit rock bottom you can only go up.

[DJStotty]

@bearded

you insinuated with your reply to "they'll come back" with "and you know this how?" that you had the opinion that you didnt think they would.

So i responded with "how do you know they wont?" as a direct question to your insinuation

Also Wolf never said "i know" so why were you asking how he "knew"

Hope that helps

[CaptainOmega]

@DJ

I didn’t insinuate anything. I asked a question. Wolf is the one stating literally they will come back.

Still waiting for the answer to my question.

I don’t know if Xbox will ‘come back’ next gen. We’ll have to wait and see.

[PowerOfTheCloud]

Next gen will be even worse!

[monkey602]

Maybe but they don't seem willing to actually make the effort

[King_Lothric]

Have they ever come back? How can you come back to a position you never were there to start with?

[WOLFofWALLSTREET]

Ya the 360 did before the end of the generation when it went downhill.

[IRetrouk]

But it never, it got outsold by the ps3 every year apart from 09 or 10, the only "lead" the 360 had was a year earlier release in the us and a year and a half in europe, plus the wii won the gen, so yeah xbox has never had the top spot....ever.

[bigmalky]

I'd say they are going the way of the Sega at the minute.

Every PS generation has had great success and plenty of exclusives. Nintendo realised that after Wii U, they needed to stop pushing gimmick and get back to delivering quality gaming.

Microsoft just keep pushing worse and worse ideas about the future of gaming by trying to control every aspect of it's monetisation. They need to learn that it's an unpopular route, and start to respect the gamers, instead of the gamers' wallets.

[Xx_Pistol_xX]

Come Back? They were never there to begin with.

[snkiworld]

Yearly Halo forza Gow killed Xbox

[DJStotty]

i dont think any of those has been yearly releases??

Halo CE didnt launch 6 years ago? - 2001 - 17 years ago
Neither did Gears? - 2006 - 12 years ago
And neither did Forza? 2005 - 13 years ago

not to mention we havent had a Halo since 2015 - 3 years ago, a gears since 2016 - 2 years ago

But yeah i see what you mean with the yearly releases

swear some people smoke some awesome stuff on here

[Tobse]

Dont tell him that Uncharted and god of War are more milked than Halo and gears or he will explode

[Alucard_420]

but they aren't, they have been well split up through out the PS3 to PS4. how many GOW and uncharted games were made since PS2? and then compare how G o W and Halo and you tell me since Xbox and you tell me who is milking more?

[The Wood]

When you have less. . .you have to milk more. .

Luckily Sony can revamp a franchise like gow and continue established ones as ms did once too with Forza horizon. The massive difference is Sony also have new Ip's inbetween the staples. . Ms has tried and failed all gen to be consistent. . How many new Ips! . . . . If droughts was an ip ms would be smashing it.

[Dragonscale]

@dj, there has been at least one of those games on xbox every year. He's not saying they are all annual but theres guaranteed one of those ip's every year.

[FernDiggidy]

Halo is nowhere near yearly. Troll harder.

[trooper_]

Yes it is.

[aconnellan]

@Trooper

Except for the fact that Halo 5 came out in 2015, with no releases since then. How is that yearly?

[Alucard_420]

@snkiworld maybe next time say at least one of these games comes out on a yearly basis. Maybe they will be less butthurt.

[Sayai jin]

Yearly Gears...do explain. Geard and Halo did not come out every year.

[Phoenix76]

I believe that it would take a "pulling of a rabbit out of a hat" for MS to make a come back this late into the generation cycle. In my opinion (and this is mine alone), MS effectivly tried to jump start the next gen early. Yes they have put out the most powerful console seen to date (xb1x), which has impressive specs without a doubt, however, its being held back by its predecessor models (xb1 and xb1s), because any and all 1st party exclusive titles have to work on the base models. They quite literally have nothing that shows of the "true power" of the xb1x console, making look like the place where gamers should go.
Hopefully they can change this soon, otherwise they will sadly be heading the same way as Sega did and become a software house only instead of a console market leader

[bluefox755]

MS really just doesn't seem to care. Either that or they're clueless about the industry.

[trooper_]

Their fans don't care. Why should they?

[andibandit]

Has nothing to do with the fans, but kudos for the fancy rhetoric.

Xbox1 problably wont even do half the number the X360 did and I don't think it's because they are clueless. I'm inclined to believe they are trying to move in to many directions at once, and in essence go nowhere.

[trooper_]

If you did care, you would demand more. Microsoft's crippling downfall are games. There's no way to spin this around.

Has nothing to do with fancy rhetoric.

But it I guess facts hurt.

[andibandit]

.

[andibandit]

I sold my Xbox last summer, so guess what, I did care.

Quote
"Microsoft's crippling downfall are games. There's no way to spin this around. "

I agree, but I didn't try to spin the lack of games as not being a problem.

Quote
"But it I guess facts hurt."

I'm not even sure what language that is, but I get it, "Your butt hurts, it's a fact".

[Malacath]

Except xbox isn't dead.

Just look at this weeks UK all formats charts. Three of the top 5 games are xbox exclusives.

PS4s recent exclusive that was well received by the reviewers called Ni No Kuni 2 has sold so poorly it's dropped out of the top 40. Sea of Thieves is still number 3. This isn't bad considering the xbox is supposed to be dead and the game was poorly received. The game is also on Game Pass so would have lost a lot of sales because of that too but it's still number 3

Yes xbox needs more exclusives but exclusives alone don't determine the success of a console. If that were the case then the top 10 of the all formats charts would be dominated by playstation 4

[Cobra951]

I'm heartbroken about Ni No Kuni II, though. That is a stellar JRPG, with a ton of fun content in 3 different gameplay styles. It's the kind of game I want to see more of, and instead it's floundering while online crap flourishes. Very depressing times for solo gamers.

[Malacath]

Yeah it is depressing for Solo players. I don't just mean Ni No Kuni II but all gaming in general.

Seems all games have to have a multiplayer mode or you get kids whining saying 'Needs multiplayer' I would much prefer developers to not listen to whiners and make the best single player games they can.

The Irony is they add multiplayer to a lot of games to keep people happy but then no one plays them online.
People just go back to playing games like COD and Fortnite.

The resources they spend adding multiplayer to these games could have been better spent making the single player experience even better.

[Skankinruby]

'If that were the case then the top 10 of the all formats charts would be dominated by playstation 4'

Uhm, they are. Any given week of the year ps4 games speak of over half of the top ten for all consoles.

'exclusives alone don't determine the success of a console'

Lmao if that were true it only makes xbox look that much worse as ps4 doesn't have much leverage other than its exclusive library and they are slaughtering the competition. Half there exclusives went platinum 5x or more and the fact that you try to put focus on one that didn't only makes your statement that much more stale.

[DJStotty]

xbox one is still alive though?

Granted some decisions damaged the image but in the last few years there has been work done in that area

pointless article

[CaptainOmega]

The UI is pretty bad.

[PFFT]

The PS4's lazy and boring UI is worse.

[CaptainOmega]

No. Lol. It’s not worse.

[DigitalRaptor]

No... it's not.

Xbox's UI might have been revamped out of necessity, but it's still not very good. You can blame Kinect for that.

[Elda]

Don't see things changing.Time to move on to better things.

[PFFT]

You are a fool to think that Sony boy. MS and the Xbox isnt going anywhere no matter how much you wish for it.

[Elda]

You're a fool to think I'm a boy,usually when one assumes it makes that one an ass. LOL!! & just smh.

[King_Lothric]

That's the problem, the Xbox isn't moving anywhere and is dying in its position due to not moving in a better position.

[Codedan]

Killed? Crazy that millions are stay playing. Of course this trash gets approved on N4G.

[Malacath]

Of course it does. N4G is totally biased in favour of PlayStation and so is Whatculture for that matter.

[Cobra951]

You know, I get it. Microsoft is not doing well this gen. Their console is not dead, obviously--that's just headline-grabbing hyperbole. But the facts are clear, and we've heard them more than enough times. This is ancient history. (Kinect, seriously?) Move along, already. Talk about what's coming up, if you must talk at all. And do it on one page, you click hound.

[Max-Zorin]

I don't recall Xbox being decommissioned. Xbox is on hard times, but it's not dead. I bet the people that approved this article, are those DPS players that blame the healer instead of owning up to their mistakes.

[Jayszen]

How disastrous could PS3 have been when it actually sold more than the 360? Sony was never 'off-track' with any aspect of its product. The PS3 was used to bring Blu-ray to the market and despite coming out a year late, ended up selling more than the Xbox 360 and brought out with some huge IPs such as Uncharted, The Last of Us, and Infamous that have since propelled the PS4 even further into the lead. There is no 'blank slate' from which to seek refuge. Reputation follows everywhere. Sony's positive reputation has been forged over nearly 25 years of console gaming and in every generation has excelled in more than one aspect.

Microsoft has shown itself to be more interested in short-term gains and meeting investor expectations rather than looking as meeting its gamers needs and wants. Sony has done the opposite and has succeeded financially with the gaming division precisely because gamers know that they can depend on Sony to support both the current and outgoing consoles and that there will be plenty of exclusive games for either. A games console focuses on games and meets the needs of hard-core and casual gamers, both. The PS4 has had many exclusives that can only be played on the PS4 thereby ensuring a steady demand for the console for both exclusives and multi-platform games. There has been no attempt to restrict sharing or being only available online - issues that really damaged Microsoft. The PS4 is well placed to lead the next generation and even if Microsoft experiences a miracle and is able to challenge Sony effectively next generation, Sony simply has to march to its own beat and carry on doing what it has and gamers will remain loyal. The worst that can happen is that most gamers will have two or three consoles, the Playstation always being one of them.

[FallenAngel1984]

PS3 didn’t even come out a year late, it came out the right time. It was 360 that came early, as evidenced by how cheap the hardware was made with having no WiFi, HDMI, & faulty hardware at launch.

[Derceto]

8? You only need 2 really.

Always-on DRM that had to be back pedaled but the damage was done, and the spycam that was mandatory for operation, which was also back pedaled but the damage was done.

End of story.

[Rude-ro]

It goes back to...
Media bashing/attacking Sony intentionally to take away confidence with consumers during the early years of last gen.
Then attacking with third party deals with both content and all out games.
Not creating any new ips for the long gen and the repetitive cycle in the last 4 years.
The Kinect false advertising and focus.
To revealing a more expensive console with a small leap in power over the 360 and with sub hd resolution.
Once again, nothing new introduced for the foreseeable future with ips for the new gen.
To the cloud gaming will turn every Xbox one into, first introduced as 15x the power, then to later 4x the power to silence on the subject and releasing two upgraded Xbox ones.
To today... where Xbox consumers are dealing with long droughts of any big AAA exclusives and with over hyping indie style games since that is all they have.

The issue with Microsoft is that they are a marketing company trying to be a gaming company and the last 7 years have brought this out for everyone to see.

[zaherdab]

Being unloyal to their early adopters that were forced into gettin a kinect then havin it completly dropped from their latest console iterations with adapters discontinued as soon as they launched xbox one X ..

Droppung the ball on exclusives and new IPs

Contradicting themselves over and over ....

[uth11]

it's because Xbox is held hostage to MS's corporate strategy, and for MS, games take a backseat to Windows, Cloud and Apps.

MS adopted 'games as a service' because it boosts the cloud division. they sacrificed Xbox exclusives in order to boost their Windows 10 gaming story, and Xbox has suffered as a result of all of this

[UnholyLight]

If I may add a #9...not directly Microsoft's fault but Halo 5 should have had the online component where you could at least play with your bros all together online like they always have. I seriously think the Xbox One would have sold better knowing I could still invite my friends over like I always had and relive those amazing college days, have some drinks, and just have fun online with 3 other people hanging out next to you while you play competitive online.

That was a major F up

[Sayai jin]

Didn't know the XB1 was dead and that the PS3 was disastrous...smh.

[Destiny1080]

sea of thieves was the last straw

[welly300]

Ui is not that bad, now im used to it. Ps4 ui is cleaner and faster to navigate. Phil needs to go hes had long enough, only 2 things i think hes done right.. ea access and game pass. E3 will be his last if he dont announce somthin, just a couple of new game's wont be enough save him.

[trooper_]

It's not dead but its a sinking ship.

[SixFragz]

xbone was dead on arrival

[Pantz]

Xbox One isn't killed. They had a very rocky start but still sold well and are making a big comeback right now. The Kinect is dead and the games are flowing.

[AgeInTheCage]

Xbox One redeemed themselves when they upgraded everyone's og xbox one to X for free, i wish sony did that for us.

[HyperMouse]

The bullet in the head was Don, and the double tap will be if they keep trying to push games as a service

[Knightofelemia]

The PS3 might have been disastrous but Sony changed tune and made the PS3 a solid system with exclusives and features to me the PS3 is my favorite console. Microsoft released a console in my eyes was a piece of junk that would carve discs and cook itself with a Red Ring it took them how many years before they actually fixed the issues with Jasper and the 360 Slim when with my PS3 I never had to worry about it carving discs or cooking itself when I played a game. The PS3 had the yellow light of death but its failure rate was not as high as the 360's.

As for what Microsoft is doing with the XBox 1 I like the backwards compatibility but that alone keeps me playing my XB1. Microsoft needs to invest their pocket book into making new franchises and trying to woo studios to make games exclusive to the XBox. Right now the people in charge of the company are running the XBox headfirst into the ground. I have never played Crackdown I might try this new one same with State of Decay but after that there are crickets chirping in the background while Microsoft tries to come up with more exclusives. I love Gears of War but with out Epic making the game it just feels kinda bland now. I don't really like Halo either I thought Halo 5 was boring I only like Halo 3 it was great. But without Bungie making the game the franchise is boring. And like I said up top the PS3 had issues with Sony being complete morons at the time with the launch. But Sony after a while turned the PS3 around and made it a great system sales, exclusives, features.

For Microsoft to do the same thing with the Xbox 1 turn around and fix their problems like Sony did with the PS3 it would be one hell of an Xmas miracle or it might even be too late to fix. Only other thing I see but this is just a shot in the dark is if Microsoft pulls a Nintendo and wipes the Xbox 1 off the face of the Earth and creates the Xbox2 like Nintendo did with the Wii-U and now we have the Switch. But with out the games and the odd backwards compatible game my Xbox 1 is just a giant dust collector. That I play Far Cry 5 on it and GTA just to make sure the damn thing still works. Microsoft releasing the 1X I know people buying it for 4k games and game play and Microsoft boasting the system as the most powerful one released but with out exclusives to push the boundaries of that console. I see the PS4 Pro with God of War, The Last of Us 2, Detroit, Spiderman, Days Gone just to name a few exclusives I see that as the better choice to buy then the 1X myself.

[Vectrexer]

What a troll article replied to by troll pathetic Fanboys here at news for Sony gamers what a shock...
This site and the Fanboys here are sickening and pathetic..

[PhoenixUp]

Let’s not even try comparing Xbox One to PlayStation 3.

PS3 started selling at a faster rate than its direct competition whereas there’s never been a time when XO sold better than its direct competition.

To say that PS3 had a disastrous start makes me wonder how 360, which sold at a slower rate, gets a pass.

[Retard]

Guess I am a single-issue voter.

I wanted the Xbox One before I deployed. When I found out it the 'internet' was required, I immediately jumped ship.

Of course, this isn't the case anymore. But I am not regretting my PS4, which was later traded in for a PS4 Pro.

[Saranya]

One thing that killed the Xbox One is........Don Mattick.

[AmUnRa]

I would not call the PS3 desastrous, the launch was ruf but the PS3 was beter selling wordwide after a while and at the end of the generation it outsold the Xbox360.
