The Gaming Thread - Part 3

[MrRabbit]

If you're serious, can I please ask for the reasoning as to why? Off the top of my head I can't think of a single logical reason to choose an XBOX One.

- Sony have them beat on price
- Their console is on par if not better on the power stakes.
- You won't be compelled to both pay & install a spycam in your living room.

I'm just looking from the outside and I can't see how MS have any angle even with the U turns made on policy.

Well here's a few reasons why someone could choose an Xbox One:
- Exclusives
- Familiarity with the system
- Being able to transfer accounts (including premium service (Gold) that will carry over)
- Friends who'll also choose the Xbox
- Dislike for or lack of faith in Sony
- Pissing everyone off on Trancefix except for Halon
- If you love watching a film and simultaneously watch a trailer for the sequel or some other film
- Being a Microsoft or Xbox fanboy/fangirl

Power isn't everything, it remains to be seen which console will eventually perform better. Price doesn't have to be a big deal, especially if you consider the cost of all games you're going to buy.
Like I said I'm not really convinced by either yet but I can definitely see why some people would prefer one over the other, the differences aren't that big now.
