Who is buying an XBOX ONE Day One?
- Thread starter R-User!
- Start date
Would not buy a system day one unless it had at least 1 game I 'REALLY' wanted, and not just 'kinda' wanted. If I wait on the games I only 'kinda' want, then I can get the system cheaper down the line, and those games may be bargain bin price too.
It's silly to buy something just for hardware, especially when no BC.

My order is in... which will come as no surprise after I've been bounding around on GAF like an excited puppy all day

Forza is the only game they're offering? I guess they'll show up to E3 and just stand there.
That remains to be seen. It wouldn't recognise you if you don't already have an account on that Xbox, unless they have an Orwellian ID database somewhere. If they can prove that logging into your account to play games at a friend's place is something easily doable, I may consider it. Until that's proven though, it's a deal breaker.

Yeah didn't all the original guys leave? I heard lots went to Crytek when MS purchased them.
So MS can censor it worse than Nintendo would again?

This is how I feel.
OK, well, to be fair, they did say they have eight new franchises for us. They may well be eight different Kinect titles, though. Now that they have their new super-duper Kinect, you better bet your arse most, if not everything, they reveal will have something to do with it.

I'm leaning towards no
I need perfect dark at launch though, that would be enough to get me on board
Still pissed about used games

same reason why someone would buy a Wii U just for Bayonetta 2. A fan is a fan
heck, I bought a Xbox 1 just for Jet Set Radio Future then Panzer Dragoon Orta... then it initiated me to other stuff later like LOL Halo and Halo 2

Won't support a console with Online DRM. Will probably never buy a Xbone at this point.
And if the new games they reveal at E3 are 'more of the same' from MS then they'll do nothing to change my mind.

Great way to make your voice heard.

Or it could be games that have nothing to do with Kinect at all. We don't know. We will at E3.

But Rare does not have those people who made Rare games amazing. Almost all the important people went away from Rare.... Instead of Rare games they made a tons of Kinect games.

I'll be buying both day one. Can't wait for this gen to kick off.
DRM issues aside though, I still am just not pulled in by this system. I don't watch TV anymore, how many people really do? I just watch the shows I enjoy online. If I want suggestions on what to watch, I'll follow what's popular online. If I want to know what my friends are watching, I'll ask them through old-fashioned conversation. I don't like realistic racing games (Blur is fun, Mario Kart can never go wrong). Sports games are the most boring genre on the planet to me unless I am with a friend who is really into them. I don't need the new console to watch the Halo TV series and I sure as hell could not care less about the Call of Duty franchise any more. This console is the ultimate manifestation of a company wanting to penetrate the mainstream so badly that they forgot that there's a market of people who just want to play games who just want something for them.
Who on earth is going to get an Xbox if they aren't into games really, as much as Microsoft wants to market the thing as an all-round media centre? You can get entertainment hubs that are way cheaper because you don't need remotely as expensive hardware to run something that specialises in being a nice-looking interface, recording software and a web browser. For a non-gaming mainstream consumer, getting an Xbox to watch things would be like buying a gaming laptop to surf facebook. This strategy marginalises a huge chunk of the traditional Xbox consumer base and is just not going to be able to compete with what's already on the market in the eyes of the people Microsoft are trying to pick up.

I'll wait and see. There are too many dealbreakers right now.
Maybe. We've been let down by E3 conferences many times in the past.

I prefer how MS consoles operate and Xbox One looks to continue that, the 360 eco-system worked better than the PS3. I also prefer MS exclusives, so will be looking forward to seeing what they show at E3.I wasn't overly impressed by what I saw last night (got bored after 30 minutes), but I can see what they're trying to achieve and it excites me.
Sony just happened to reveal PS4 with the 2 Sony franchises I dislike; Killzone and Infamous. Knack looks cool, but not enough to buy a console at launch for and the Gaikai stuff doesn't really interest me.
I have both the 360 and PS3 this gen and I'll own both upcoming consoles eventually, but Xbox One is more attractive to me right now, so I'll get that at launch.

The reveal yesterday was of a vision in which Kinect is absolutely integral to every part of the system going forward. You can bet that every title from MS studios will use Kinect in some manner.

It depends on the price, but if I find it acceptable, Forza and Remedy are indeed enough for me to get it day one.

Not a chance. Odds are pretty much 0, unless they get like FF 7 remake exclusive or something.

Not me.
I don't want Kinect at all whatsoever. The fact it's mandatory means I'm out.

No way. I was hoping the One could upstage Sony by offering BC with the 360 so that I could pick it up and maybe try some of those 360 Exclusives. After the reveal and the anti-consumer deal? Absolutely no way now.
