Over two years later, are you still steadfast in your position? Has MS managed to persuade you in light of the various 180's, price drops/promotions, 360 BC, etc etc?

As soon as they did the original 180 from the reveal I was back on. Everything to this point has been icing on the cake.

Maybe in a year, depending on how Quantum Break and Halo 5 and the other games from GamesCom turn out to be

Anybody holding a grudge at this point is just being childish.

I already bought mine. Bc was the reason I didn't buy it over ps4 but once they showed it and gears. I bought one the next day.

I've been back and forth considering it but there's just nothing worthwhile on the system. Games have kinda came and went with little fanfare on it and just nothing has pushed me over the edge and made me think wow I NEED to play that. Was hoping gamescom was going to change my mind but I felt no different. I just feel like at this point I won't be picking up an XB1 this generation at all.

People will turn this into a clusterfuck of a thread but for me personally, there still isn't enough out (at the moment) that changes any position I've had on the state of the whole thing.
They are certainly expanding their library into new genres which is great but the reliance of the same franchises over and over and over again is why I fatigued with it in the past. And until I see a real change it's not likely I'm going to jump in. Plus, Canadian prices are killing my need for any new games anyways so that's another giant barrier.
Phil is doing some good things and it's good to see he has some actions to match his words.

I might be swayed for Rock Band 4. I have hundreds of dollars wrapped up in DLC. Other than that, I have no interest.

If you have a PS4 or especially a PC there's little reason for one outside of the big exclusives. Depends on how those pan out I might buy one.
Scalebound and QB look neat, but for me that's about it

The only XB1 title that interested me was D4 but now that's on PC, so.. not interested.
For now.

It's on my plan now, but only because they seem to start caring about RARE again. And that "secret to no one but themselves" Battletoads game they are making
After the 180, it's about on-par with a ps4 for me, in terms of 'next console i'll buy.'
Neither ps4 nor xb1 have enough exclusives for me to justify a purchase, yet. Right now it's rare replay (used to be KI, but that's coming to PC now) vs bloodborne, and obviously bloodborne is winning. I'm still not buying either one until they get more exclusives that I want to play. We'll see what happens.
That said, the hardware and policies are no longer keeping me from buying one, it's just the lack of exclusive games that I care about. For the record, I don't typically care for most first party microsoft titles OR sony for that matter. No interest in halo, ratched and clank, naughty dog games, etc. It'll basically be determined by 3rd party exclusive games, which there aren't many of.

You can still be disinterested in the console, and that's fine. But holding a grudge for stuff that isn't around anymore is silly.

Still no plans to buy one
This. I still contend that the PS4 is the better console for me between the two but I just bought a bone about a month ago after having saved gift cards for awhile from various holidays and birthdays.
Edit: As with any possible console wars thread, I always worry I'll say the wrong thing and get banned. I hope my agreement with the above statement doesn't come off in the wrong way. My agreement is just in terms of, I know some people who still hate MS based on a practice that they never implemented and that they did a 180 on before the console even released.

I did buy it last year for FH2 and MCC, played for couple of months and sold it back. I'll probably pick it up again when Scalebound drops, but otherwise PS4/WiiU combo has been perfect for me so far.
I had sworn not to get one. I ended up having one due to my job (we required kinects and at the time they weren't being sold separately) and I don't really use it a lot (owning every system there are few things I want to play on it) but I'm willing to give the 2016 games a shot pending impressions. Though the games lineup still isn't exciting enough for me that I would buy one if I didn't already have it. So far on the system I've only played Sunset Overdrive and D4, didn't really enjoy the former (yes I got the dash) and the latter came out on PC (and played better, the Kinect controls were absolutely not working for me and the gamepad keeps disconnecting). I've also played some MCC but not enough, the issues around launch turned me off and I never really had a chance to go back to it. Scalebound is the one thing I'm guaranteed to give a shot to out of all titles that have been announced so far.
I never had a 360 due to it not releasing in my country for years, so if backwards compatibility is expanded I could potentially play a few titles. Right now I'm playing Shadow Complex which I had missed due to the aforementioned reasons.

I bought one last week after hating MS (not literally) for being so god damned US centric in their reveal. After two years they've actually spread the love outside of their own borders so I jumped in as it were. The fact I got it new for $240 helps too.

Very little interest at this point.
I'll pick one up in a few years tho, when the price has dropped much further and there are more than a couple interesting exclusives.
The PS4 will keep me busy enough until then.

I'm not saying I agree with you there but reading this post is such a bummer. It kinda describes current-gen as a whole with some rare exceptions (and excluding the exclusive GOAT called Wii U).
why is it goat BTW?
