Improving the Xbox One's Reputation/Credibility with "Hardcore Gamers"

I've noticed that many consumers are going after the PlayStation 4 in place of the Xbox One, their reasons generally being that the PlayStation 4 is cheaper and that they don't feel the ol' Xbone is focused enough on games. I've already purchased and Xbox
One, and wish to see the community flourish with new members and software. Perhaps it's in Microsoft's best interest to introduce two different packages for their latest gaming machine: one Entertainment Edition (E.E) and another Gamer's (the apostrophe is
not a typo) edition G.E.) The Entertainment Edition will cost the present $500, and be bundled with both the Kinect and a film (perhaps
Pacific Rim the Gamer's edition will be $400, and have a bundled game (perhaps
Ryse,) but no Kinect. This will not only highlight the Xbox One's plethora of media features, but provide a core gaming experience with more value than Sony's offering.

Please ask on your main Lost Kauz.

 

Nice idea, but aint gonna happen....don't see the kinect as somehow making the xbox one more or less for entertainment whether it is present or not

 

It's an interesting idea, but I see no need to split their user-base when they can make 1 package that has everything at a decent price that still sells.

 

This topic is bogus...u really mean to tell me that you truly believe removing the kinect and adding a game makes it a gaming edition? So on the opposite side of that spectrum, u mean to tell that by adding a movie and keep kinect makes it entertainment
edition? Kinect is gaming and functionality. Never seen anything remotely cool or clever done by the kinect for a movie

 

I fail to see how anyone could think the XB1 isn't for hardcore gamers, need look no further than Dead Rising 3. The only thing the PS4 has over XB1 in terms of games is F2P PC games and indie digital content. Everything else is the same besides the true
exclusives which as of right now XB1 is a few ahead.

Anyway, I consider myself a core gamer and the Xbox has the most appeal.

 

I always said when i read threads about hardcore/casual etc that hardcore is a term to brag and divide . A gamer is just that a gamer no matter how much time invest playing games or what genre like to play .

 

Great way to make a pseudo I dont want kinect topic. Kudos on originality.

 

You want Xbox one been called Xbox two.

Two devices instead of one...$900 for the full product.

Hopefully,the Xbox one is cheaper and got everything.

 

Let's try and clarify terms for anyone joining late.



On the internet a "Hardcore Gamer" is anyone who plays the same games as the person who uses the term "Hardcore Gamer".



It allows you to build yourself up while putting someone else down so it has a bit of a "2 for 1" appeal.

 

Enough of this sort of idea, if you want to join the discussion there is a thread still alive with 259 posts and numerous pages.

The other one got removed by the looks of things, and good thing to, it turned tragic.

Take the console as it is, with Kinect, it's like Marmite, some people love it, some people hate it, but they still sell it. Leave it at that, and make your decision accordingly, Microsoft is not forcing anyone to buy their console

 

Hey guys come on. Hardcore can apply to some things. Like me for instance. I'm a very very "hardcore" kinect thread hater. So because I put that word there it means I'm better at it. Hey I might start a new genre of music! KINECTCORE!!!

 

its just fanboy bias TBH. how is a system thats suppsoed to be for gamers, only releasing killzone, knack, infamous, and the order for its 1st 18 months, where the X1 is getting ryse, DR3, forza, halo, sunset overdrive, d4, spark, titanfall, etc etc. MS
is pushing out the best games as always.

I will have to disagree with the last part. As always? Really? MS didnt push out the best games for the xbox 360 after awhile. Mostly Halo Gears and kinect stuff. But right now on xbox one, they do have the gane advantage
