Why did you decide not to wait for the One S with the updated controller? Just curious.

Don't know if he has one but no point if you dont own a 4K TV.

Personally I thought it was dumb of MS to announce both the "S" and Scorpio at the same time. Why on earth would anyone want to buy the "S" model now when they can just wait it out a year and get the more powerful Scorpio? They're better off paying less money for a standard model if they want to game on Xbox right now.

Because they want a 4k player. Not everyone will be able/afford to buy the scorpio next year. Some people (myself included) just like to piss money away on electronics lol.

But in general, I agree with you Brave.

LOL! Sounds like you and I suffer from the same condition!

Still, I would think MS would've waited to maximize "S" sales this holiday season and then announce Scorpio early 2017.

4K gaming on the Xbone doesn't interest me at all right now. I may upgrade to the new PS4 4K when it comes out, but I have doubts that I will even do that. I just want a plain ole Xbone right now and the price for them right now are in my price range of spending on something that I wont play a ton.

If X1 doesn't outsell PS4 for the month of June at these prices, I don't know if the X1 will EVER outsell it.

It won't ever. The 360 got a jump out of the gate on the PS3 releasing a year earlier/Sony charged an arm and a leg for the PS3/the PSN was in its infancy. Sony has a much broader base and eventually caught up. Only Nintendo could ever top them in sales, if they'd get their heads out of their asses.

I've been buying from both companies since '96 and '01, and if not for Xbox Live coming about 4 years earlier (with an Ethernet port and a hard drive) and establishing an online community for me, I'd probably be solidly in Sony's corner. I'm glad MS came about after Sega and gave Nintendo and Sony some competition. Hopefully Nintendo wakes up soon. I can't stand the idea of a console monopoly.

I actually wish Nintendo would become a publisher and put their games on PlayStation and Xbox.

If Nintendo went 3rd party, I'd be afraid of the vice grip by Sony and MS, to a lesser extent. It might be good as long as they didn't publish exclusively with their Japanese counterpart, which they'd likely do (like most other Japanese developers do). Sony would be the last man standing in that scenario, which I think would be harmful to console gaming.

It would help if Xbox had some kind of presence in Japan but man, they do NOT like it. And I don't think it has anything to do with national pride or anything. Apple products are wildly popular in Japan.

It can't be everything, but having friends who live and work there, they said it does have a lot to do with it. They're very loyal to their gaming industry for whatever reason. Japanese publishers deciding against publishing from the start for the OG Xbox crippled them in Japan from the beginning. No Resident Evil 4, no FF until the crappy ones (13), no Monster Hunters, no new Metal Gear until 5, hardly anything from the Japanese developers for a decade. Now it's too late. And they don't even play consoles much anymore compared to mobile devices, including handhelds. The Apple thing is odd, considering foreign devices dominate the market here in the States. Possibly because Apple always gets first dibs on games? I always had to wait upwards of a year for a game on my Android that everyone on iOS already had. That's the only explanation for that I can think of.
