Xbox One turns 5 years old this week. What would you rate it as a platform?

Switch is already building a better line-up and it has not even been out for two years.

Waiting for the system to mature, prices to slashes, new revisions, more games. But it's already making a better case than Xbox.

 

I want Mario Odyssey, Smash and Octopath.  

 

Lmao, a Lemming shouting drought, but bu Forza Horizon 8. 

[JonDnD 2,636]

So you want 3 games lol ok 

 

Xbox has almost every big 3rd party game . There is never a drought .

Love the objective presentation. Great to see well put together threads that go above the system wars aspect of the site and just present the data in a neutral way.

Lemmings get mad when we present content.

 

Guess that explains why they own Xbox Ones.

how has it been negatively positioned and what factors have been disregarded? its not enough to simply say these things, you actually have to explain it.

It's very simple, they've proactively rectified any criticism leveraged against the platform using community feedback at every turn. They uprooted their entire vision for the platform to appease their consumer base. They've maintained the best network, introduced the best controller, introduced the best services, introduced accessibility for the disabled, rekindled the appeal for independent developers, are making efforts to get more Japanese support, went so far as to create an entirely new console within the gen to quell the need for the compute ailing of the original system while also ensuring it's the best system on the market, also garnering the largest amount of developer support for a mid-generation system. They're introducing what is shaping up to be the best streaming platform available and have gone even further to acquire like 7 new development studios on top of the 8 or so they already have to quell concerns with first party output. Now this generation has not been perfect by a long shot but the steps taken to better it from where it began have been numerous and massive.

 

Yes a lot of this will bear fruit next-gen, that's unfortunate but the steps they've taken and continue to have also ensured benefits in the present. I want to see more games from them, I'm not concerned about it though because unlike most of you I don't see a game as a number and then disregard it based upon the views and opinions of others. Quantum Break was one of my favorite games this generation, there's been a lasting appeal to that regardless of the way it's labeled.  Sea of Thieves while not everyones cup of tea provided me with hundreds of hours of unadulterated fun with friends and strangers in a very unique setting and gameplay environment. But what do you guys see? A number, and then rinse and repeat disregard. 

 

Xbox is doing just fine without the cynical views of the outside world, we're doing just fine with our console regardless of the fanatical psychotics like Bodycount flip flopping around for a popularity contest crushing under the pressure of others. There's so much AAA third party output these days that even if Microsoft releases a game and it's not for you there's like 15 other things releasing in the same window of time to choose from. There's no lack of games to play or experiences to have, my Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro get almost split down the middle usage. So no I'm not going to give you a score just as I wouldn't for PlayStation 4 this generation because it's far more complex than just a simple number can account for.

Firstly, you have no idea how much it's sold total.  Nobody does, because Microsoft stopped releasing those numbers, because Xbone is underperforming.  Badly.

 

Secondly, lolz.  Oh sure, xbone is ahead.  It's a useless metric since it started three years prior, but if that helps you sleep when Switch wipes the floor with Xbone, and yourself by extension, this holiday season*, then you do you, pal.

 

*Includes Christmas.  

There's analyst firms all over the planet collating data from different markets and regions, it's pretty safe to say the general vicinity of what its sold and that number is in excess of the Switch and Wii U by at least 5 million with a year less of availability. You guys think the Switch is some on fire system selling like crazy, it's not, it's splitting the difference between Xbox One and PlayStation 4; and it's newer so see how that pans out after 5 years.

Regardless of what Xbox sells it will never be a bomb like the worst Nintonto consoles .

GameCube and Wiiu 

 

Lmao wiiu really sold only 13 million consoles sheep love to forget that . 

 

They had to make a handheld because they know a home console would be a gutter bomb ROFL

We're all very aware of where you get your numbers from, Deeno: your ass.

 

November and December NPD are going to be hilarious.  You're welcome to join in on the fun, but my guess is you'll skip those threads just like the last three.

It's not going to be hilarious at all, you guys put way too much weight into these assured outcomes just to find out they're wrong.

Evidently, X is not 'gonna give it to ya'; at least by every measurable and quantifiable metric.

3 more quality games than a Xbox One would provide, and 3 exclusives.

 

I don't need a Xbox, I already have a PS4.  Not like I give a fuck about MS first party trash games though.
