Just strikes me as odd because he mentions ps4, it is an xbox forum he is reviewing an xbox product but yet he mentions the 'other side' just invalidates his review I believe

I haven't see any of these social or media apps on my brothers Xbox One till I hooked up Netflix for his kids. Seems like you can have a strict online gaming console if you want too.

Mentioned a PS4? I said the XBOX is head and shoulders above the PS4, or would you have preferred I said the X1 is "head and shoulders against the competitors?"

Have a PS4? If PS was the only choose for consoles, I would go back to PC - simple. I'm not a fan of Sony, their lax security, or the awful controller. If you must know.

I've had an X1 since launch. It's the first launch console I've ever purchased. My 360 was purchased when Mass Effect 1 came out and the PS3 when Black Ops 1 came out. So both of my previous consoles had some time on the street before I got them. I sold
my 360 back in May and hadn't played it in about 2 years.

So getting back used to the X1 has been a process. I didn't realize how much I missed party chat until now. Not having to listen to screaming children before being able to mute them. I'm okay with having to wait for X1 to get some updates. I only game
and watch Blu-rays/DVD's on my consoles anyway. I don't use Netflix or any of that stuff.

I like Kinect for what I use it for...turning on my X1, snapping my party in COD and going to home screen. I've used Xbox fitness...once need to use it more I really liked it.

I only have a few games COD, Bf4 and Lego Marvel. I've only played COD and Lego a lot. I think Lego looks great on my X1. I've only had a little bit of trouble with my X1 and that was COD not loading because of the memory issue and I had to do the hard reset
of the console. Heck I have to do that to my iphone sometimes...not that big of a deal to me.

I like my X1, I like my PS3..don't like the Wii but the DS I like. I don't care about 720p or 1080p I just want my games to run smoothly....something that didn't happen with my PS3 on COD which on X1 COD runs great.

It took a while to get used to the new controller though. I had been using a 360 style controller for my PS3 for quite a while but it was still an adjustment. I just don't like the PS3 controller.

I'm happy with my X1 and still have some games to finish on my PS3...Transformers Fall of Cybertron I'm looking at you. I need to finish it before I play Titanfall....great game BTW. .

Digital hero, I don't think gaming is dying at all. Sounds to me like your going through what I go through at least once every few months. Sometimes I just don't feel like gaming at all. I definitely wouldn't say it's dying though. There is plenty out there
at the moment. And with the release of two new consoles and the huge amount of game that are soon to hit, I certainly wouldn't say it's dying.

I'm with vanpirella here and I don't think the controller feels small at all (I don't have small hands btw). It's probably one of the most comfortable controllers I've ever used. I went back to my 360 controller after not using it for a very long time and
it doesn't feel even close to as comfortable and I loved the 360 controller. I'm extremely happy with this controller. The bumpers 1 of the biggest complaints are awesome IMO if you use them as they were designed...just rolling your finger slightly from
the trigger. Oh well just my opinion. As for the graphical leap...I saw big leap from 360 bf4 to x1 I was impressed. Also while dr3 isn't a huge leap graphically(but still looks better than it would on 360) the amount of zombies on screen is crazy.

Some good comments here ;-)

Yeah it's cool - but I'd love to have the choice. That's the problem, it's choice.

I have my flame suit on.

I said its a good console - in fact, I love it! It jut pains me to see it flawed.

Re; 360 - what I mean is, I was literally blown away by that console. The x1, I though "sure, things look a bit better"

I can only assume it's because last gen was all about power, and this one is all about being social and connected. Maybe I'm a bit of an old schooler, but I would take a power boost over online social interaction any day.

And you got me! Damn why didn't I think of making my profile more believable? I created a profile, wrote out a long post, just to slate the xbox? Hmm....

A more likely scenario is - I created this profile purely to access the forums.
