That blows my goddamn mind. Time is really starting to accelerate... I still feel like the Wii and Xbox 360 aren't that old.

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Xbox One is 3 years old today
- Thread starter ATOMICJORGE
- Start date
3 years ago I wasn't a fan of the direction they were heading and the prospects of a digital focus. The Xbox team really turned it around. I also think I am 3-50 physical versus digital purchases since then. Also got the S model when I needed a new laptop and got a Surface. Very pleased with how the content is handled and how seamless it is to boot up either console.
I still haven't opened Ryse.

Great UI, even though sluggish. Good selection of multiplayer games, from Halo 5, Killer Instinct, Gears of War 4. Backwards compatible. Still has the best controller for consoles.
Still recommend the PS4 more, unless you like Xbox One's selection of games (Halo, Gears, Forza, Scalebound, Rareware games, etc.)

Mine on launch day in Australia:
Was very excited, took the day off toenjoy it download updates.
I remember playing BF4 and thinking "THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!" At the same time though, with all the negative (and mostly justifiable) press leading up to launch I couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
As more and more of my friends switched to PS4, I eventually did as well and now my XB1 is only played occasionally for exclusives.

Didn't own one til last year, but great system for the year I've owned it and have had a lot of fun with it. Rare Replay and Forza Horizon 3 being my favorite exclusives, and Halo 5/Master Chief collection also being some of my favorites. Especially love the multiplayer in Halo 5, don't usually play much Multiplayer games, but Halo 5 got me addicted.
ALso yes Backwards Comp is the greatest thing. Been able to play Red Dead with a good frame rate, Gears 2-3 and even Guardian Heroes, one of the few Treasure games I never got to play until now!

I member raging about 'priority queues' at the midnight launch at GAME.
Pre-pay for everything and you can just come in and avoid the queues, unfortunately everyone had the same idea.
I do have the day one cheeve and pad too.

Just reminded of the mess that was Battlefield 4.
Like the Xbox One, it too had a great turn around and improvement.

Gotta say I'm still very disappointed with the console. It still has the buggiest OS I've ever seen on a console, and the exclusives have been very underwhelming.
Also, they shouldn't have cancelled DVR after promising it and even going so far as to sell antennas marketed for XBOX at the Microsoft store.
As it stands I kept it for completeness' sake. Having the Halo series on one console is good, Ori was good, and I still use One Guide. Otherwise I can't really say it was a worthwhile purchase. I'm not even sure Scorpio will change that since first party games are no longer Xbox console exclusives going forward.

Plus bonus points if you post your Day One 2013 controller and achievement!
Bonus points you say? I'm not too motivated to find my Day One acheevoo though...
I slightly modified mine, though (used the monochrome buttons from the Call of Duty controller).
Hey! I have this dumb card still too! (I think it came with Shadow Jago, and it was otherwise just a standard 1 year of Live thingy.)
I got mine on launch. I had a Playstation 4 on order beforehand, but ended up giving it to a family friend for Christmas (early present for him, whoo!) that year because I wanted to play the Xbox One more (I had the Dead Rising itch). At launch, I bought Dead Rising 3, Forza 5, and that year's Call of Duty and Battlefield games.
I use mine
Edit: I just remembered something. After playing Dead Rising 3 and Forza 5 all day on launch day, I took a break from games and started watching the Gametrailers stream. Anyone else see Justin Speer kick everyone's asses in Killer Instinct with the spider lady? That was awesome. I just left it on for a long time and ended up getting a twitch achievement for watching Michael Damiani play through a Zelda game. I think it was A Link between Worlds.
Yes that's what I was thinking too since I got that at launch. We need the Xbox One: One.
My favourite console this gen, what MS have done with BC, Xbox Elite pad, OS updates, custom controllers, Xbox One S and the games released is the reason why. I feel like im 'home' when i turn on this machine, just love the eco system and eveything that comes with it.
Well done Phil for getting through the rocky start, a big thank you to MS engineers that keep setting the bar high on what to expect when it comes to services, their BC stuff is unbelievable.
And now theres Scorpio on the horizon, loving it. Happy birthday to Xbox team.

Whooa, three years? Feels just like it was yesterday when I called my first Titan. Made really good friends online too.
godhandiscen
There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
It started out rough, but it has turned into an amazing system. I have great hopes for Scorpio.
Been with it since Day One. Even would've been fine with the original Online-Only stuff. I'm happy with the way it's turning out and I upgraded to the S for the sweet HDR and sexy look. Backwards Compatibility has been amazing, just missing a few JRPGs to clear my list. Can't wait to get the Scorpio next year!

Got it a launch. What a slow, buggy piece of shit it was at launch, and for months afterwards... I love the damn thing now and I am much more happy with how it runs!
Bought a xbox one this year after the huge turnaround at microsoft concentrating on the most important thing.
GAMES!
Bought a elite controller also afterwards and very happy with Play Anywhere and off course Backwards compatibility those two things pointed towards me in a good way.

The turn around from the disastrous vision to kicking Kinect to the curb, putting out the sleek, stylish Xbox One S, the fantastic efforts of the Xbox team with Backwards Compatibility and the continued updates and added features to the OS, it's been amazing watching the progress.
Bought an OG in 2014 to play MCC and Sunset Overdrive. Have no regrets, even with the paltry specs of the machine. Sold the OG and got an S in September because I despised the sight of the power brick and I also missed some of my old Halo 5 buddies and didn't want UWP games from the Windows 10 Store, too much of a hassle.
I'm hella excited for Scorpio and seeing 343 and others build their games on it. Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, Sea of Thieves, Cuphead, Scalebound, Halo Wars 2 ... excited for all of them, more or less.

To celebrate, I traded one of my Xbox ones in today thanks ms!
I don't own one, between PC and PS4 I've got my gaming needs covered. But I do have to admit, they did a hell of a job turning their image around.
I remember how angry I was hearing about the initial DRM proposals, and I was sure Sony was going to go down the same route. I'm glad they got a good person behind the wheel over there and are able to give Sony some real competition. Everything I've seen about the system showed great improvements and I certainly hope they keep it up. PS3's final years were magical because they were playing catch up and it's looking like XBox is in that position this generation.

Got a Day One and since then it's been on pretty much non-stop as we have the TV running through it. Don't get to game as much with 2 kids under 5 but it's still kicking, and I won a 2TB One S at a conference recently so I'm coming to grips with the PITA that is multiple units on the same network.

The Xbox One got me back on the gaming train.
I'd had a Wii, 360, which I loved, and before that had a PS2, Dreamcast, N64, Mega Drive, NES, and a Commodore 64.
Generation 360 had been exhausting. It was outstanding, but post Kinect, it was mostly downhill. Outside of the new PES (football game) I rarely bought a new game. Skyrkim, Black Ops, and a few others. That was it.
Then the Xbox One came along.
I personally was not overly concerned by the announcement and launch. All digital and family game sharing sounded fantastic. Always online was not a concern for me.
But I could see why people were worried. The price and bundled Kinect was also a concern. I was not cancelling my pre order though, I did it as soon as it was available. I was ready for next gen.
I remember waiting for my delivery. I took the day off and it was being delivered by Yodel. UK Gaf will know they are not the most reliable. I was tweeting them all day asking about my order. I needed it.
I started tweeting Yodel and to their credit they kept me updated. I even asked for a free Domino's. It never came, but the Xbox did.
I got my Day One console with FIFA 14. I bought Forza 5 on digital. I traded in my 360 for Ghosts (which was £65 in Game). That was traded in soon after, an awful game.
I invested in Boomerang rentals, so I could experience a number of Xbox One Games for relatively cheap. Ryse was just incredib to look at, and to its credit, it was a pretty decent game.
I was most hyped for Titanfall though. For me it delivered. With the built in Game DVR, I was in my element.
Diablo 3 was incredible. Destiny had me gripped initially.
Then came the Halo 5 beta - outstanding. Ori, emotional. Forza Horizon 2, excellent. Halo MCC,for all its faults, enabled me to fully experience the mainline Halo games.
E3 last year delivered Back Compatibility, the impossible task that was a gimmick, right? Now I get 4 free games every month. So many great titles. It has just got better and better.
Halo 5 fully launched and surpassed Titanfall. I loved it.
Now that has been beaten by Titanfall 2 and here we are 3 years on. I've focused on a lot of the positives, because I predominantly had a positive experience. I have a new Gears. And I am getting Burnout Paradise next month for free.
And I've not mentioned many Indy titles, the likes of Inside, EA Access, watching TV through my Xbox, and so much more.
Yes there are/were faults. But team Xbox under Phil have turned things around. They are fighting back.
The future with Scorpio next year. The promise of a new Crackdown. Where Halo 6 could go. Scalebound looking very promising. The Indy scene thriving. Cuphead and Below have been promised for years.
It has been a brilliant 3 years for me and I look forward to seeing where we are in 3 years more.

Still have my Day 1 controller somewhere.. and the achievement.. though I was disappointed that was all we got for that edition.
I traded in the Day 1 console recently for the BF1 Green XB1S, which is pretty awesome.
I can't even really remember what the system was like at launch now, it's had so many updates and changes (especially in the Preview Program). I'm sure if I went back it'd feel like a whole different console.
My friend and I took the day off to play BF4 but we only got a handful of games in.. which sucked. I blame BF4 for that though, not Xbox.

I originally wanted the XBO to fail horribly when they made the original DRM announcements. Thought I'd never own one and figured a PS4 would be good enough. Well thanks to Spencer and his team, they really turned the system around and I got one earlier this year. While the PS4 is still my main console, I think the XBO is a great system.
Hope they keep the good work going with Scorpio and beyond.

In berlin, at Saturn, they were giving Burger King vouchers with Xbox One purchases at launch. it was in the first hour of the store opening, in the morning, so it was a breakfast of the champions, indeed!
I got one in 2014 when the bundles were getting good.
It's mainly used for Netflix and YouTube, but I have also played a shit load of Diablo 3, GTA V, various Forzas and the Jackbox Party Packs.
Upgraded to a white S for $20 this year when we traded in the old console and some Apple gear. iPhone 4 and iPad 2 that were running like dog shit and had sat in a drawer for 2 years.

Three years ago I was a junior in high school lurking around on GAF reading about the whole Xbox One launch fiasco. I didn't have an account here at the time. Man, how time flies lol
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
I feel like the launch of the Xbox One was hampered by a bunch of stupid decisions:
- Kinect being bundled (not because of Kinect, because it set the MSRP $100 over the PS4)
- So many resources at launch being dedicated to the OS, which also did very little, along with other hardware decisions that made the Xbox One less powerful than the PS4
- Focusing on Smartglass, Kinect, TV functionality, and Cloud Servers at the expense of being the best and most accessible way to play games
- Investing stupid amounts of money into poaching Nancy Tellem and setting up the TV division and promptly doing fucking nothing with it and shutting it down
- Abandoning almost all of the Xbox Live infrastructure that really won people over last gen, largely because of a desire to refocus around Windows and install Windows people in infrastructure roles
- Launching without a plan for independent software, gutting the Microsoft Studios XBLA team, and then hastily assembling ID@XBOX after the fact, ensuring developers would stay PC first and then think of consoles instead of taking leadership initiative on making the platform the first destination for indies
- Virtually no first party software at or near launch, and some of the software at or near launch being kneecapped by bad business model futzing, including Powerstar Golf.
- No Xbox 360 backwards compatibility, ensuring that there's no real cost to switch ecosystems between generations and no real incentive to stay with Microsoft.
- No focus on Europe and even less on Japan
The pivots they've made since launch (removing Kinect, building out Xbox Live, Chris Charla's efforts at ID@XBOX, Xbox 360 BC, lowering hardware cost, improving the OS and reducing resource constraints, releasing the slim, releasing the Scorpio) have almost all been good and I think they're being rewarded by that in terms of US sales overtaking PS4. It's a much better console than it was at launch.
Here are what some of the remaining problems I think they have:
- MS decided to reduce their first-party liability by jettisoning non-core development, focusing on a few franchises (the number of which is shrinking: remember that we lost Twisted Pixel, Lionhead, Press Play, and almost all of their late-gen tech studios SINCE the Xbox One launch) narrowly. In some cases, like Forza Horizon, this has paid quality dividend. But it's hard to argue that Microsoft's first-party stable isn't a distant third and this is totally preventable with more investment.
- Cross-play is a great idea and really adds value, except that absolutely no one likes or wants Windows 10 Universal App Store. The social and Xbox Live features could have been implemented while still releasing on platforms people like and not having to re-invent the wheel. It's not just Steam, either, Microsoft is missing out on cooperation with Humble and Itch and other bundle services. This is a massive negative feedback loop; streamers and influencers, not to mention gaming fora, will pay less attention to their software. And every time they have a launch and mess something up (most recently the bizarre player population issue with CoD), it gets worse. I absolutely believe the Windows 10 Universal Windows App Store Featuring Cross-Play For Windows 10 Devices Including The Surface Pro All-in-one Entertainment, Gaming And Productivity Device As Seen In Product Placement Everywhere On TV Including CBS's Hit Summer Series Under the Dome is valuable for Microsoft as a whole, but it's not doing any favours for core gaming or the Xbox brand. Microsoft as a company had to decide whether gaming is something that serves Windows or whether gaming is a useful end on itself, and the former is what they chose, and it negatively impacts gaming.
- Indie titles start on PC and then go to PS4. Playstation Experience is one of the reasons why, it's now probably the third largest indie showcase after E3 and PAX, maybe even bigger than PAX. I don't think this is because the people at Microsoft tasked with taking care of indies don't care, I think it's because they don't have enough resources. I think Microsoft should start directly publishing more titles, like they did at their XBLA peak, and aggressively consider being a feature leader instead of cribbing stuff from Steam years later.
- There's almost no incentive for people who have PS4s to buy Xbox Ones, and even Scorpio will be a marginal incentive at best balanced against the PS4 Pro. Besides first party, BC, cross-play and indie improvements, and lowering hardware cost, I think the biggest thing they can do is consider lowering the price of Xbox Live and push further in Europe/Asia.
Here's to 3 more years of growth and improvement. Also I hope Crackdown 3 actually comes out at some point. LOL.

Owned all three Xbox platforms, 90k + Gamerscore, I really like PlayStation and despite some irksome things I find about Nintendo I have soft spot for them too but Xbox was usually the one I liked more out of the three.
The Xbox One for me, is the one I like least out of their systems and in some ways has soured my enthusiasm for the brand. I know Phil has done good work, BC and stuff like that but it hasn't really got me feeling like I did in the early 360 days or the OG.
.Three years tho, wow, time flies

Picked it up day one, big regret due to the price slash and Kinect getting dropped not long after.
Console also failed the live up to the next gen hype with its slow as fuck menus and middling graphic performance.
Got a nice controller tho!
Scorpio is them pretty much sneaking in a next next gen console to wipe the slate, devs have been told they can make Scorpio only titles in future.
Sorry to Debbie downer the thread!

Picked up one 6 months ago for Quantum Break, 9 games later and it's the most played system in the house. I love it!

There should probably be a picture of the console in this thread.
The OG Xbox One design will still age better than the OG PS4 in my opinion. That slant looks kinda stupid already.

Day one i got my console at my first ever midnight launch.
It was so exciting.
Didn't get to play it much that night with all the updates and that.
The dash has come such a long way, i really like it now.
Playing Ryse and Forza 5 in those early days was a blast.
Brb going to play some Dishonored 2 now.

Great console. But it's amazing how much both the hardware and software have changed in the last 3 years. Hell the whole division has.
I still wish we got the original DRM plan though
Digital games at disc prices that allow those with bandwidth caps to protect them.
you gotta be fucking kidding me?
