I Finally Got My First Xbox

Ben Bertoli for Kotaku: I’ve never wanted to own an Xbox console, if I’m being completely honest.

For the past 19 years Microsoft has put out exclusive after exclusive that don’t appeal to me in the slightest. The consistency is actually kind of impressive. Not that Xbox consoles or exclusives are poorly made — they’re just usually not for me. Even the few games that have caught my attention over the years, games like Cup Head and Ori and the Blind Forest, have found there way to other home consoles in due time. I’m well aware there’s an audience for Xbox games, a community of dedicated Xbox fans and everyday players who enjoy the selection, but I’ve never been able to count myself among them.
