    Yes it is true with video consoles that you pay more if you get it right away and don't want but I cant ever remember a system dropping has fast has Microsoft did with the xboxone.

    the consoles came out the same time and MS drop was from the Kinect and then they decided to throw in games to boost sales so if anything they made it more appealing.

    XB fans are not unhappy as you claimed because they wanted a better console and now they will get the most powerful one next fall. MS has done a lot more for their customers and continue to do so. They have made a huge turnaround

      Every time I see my mom staring at the controller trying to figure out what buttons do what it makes me appreciate Kinect. It isn't necessary for me but it certainly has a purpose, I'd imagine those with families (wives and young kids) probably get a lot out of Xbox On as opposed to fiddling with the controller. Should've definitely been an optional accessory though, gotta wonder how different this gen looks sales wise if they made that move in the beginning and released at $400.

        Would have been closer and MS might be winning in the U.S by a slight margin but Sony world wide would still be dominating in sales

        Bottom line 2 things are the reason at this point that the kinect and MS made the 180

        1. PS4 is just a better gaming console for this gen (Better performing and looking games)

        2. Better brand name

          Hilarious that people are still using covers and whatnot though.

          I think people forget how many of those things they sold (24 million) last gen.
          That's fair.

          I guess the Kinect, itself, isn't the issue

              Not sure how Sony is a better brand name than Microsoft but okay. I agree they'd still be winning just because Sony is bigger in markets outside of the U.S., mainly the Asian ones.

              Your first point is also debatable, PS4 is faster and has better hardware but with the improvements Microsoft has made to the One and it's OS, and the addition of the Xbox One S, I'd say they are both great.

                So you just made my point by stating what i said...

                How is Sony a better brand name? They are far more popular in the world over MS. These are facts and better brand name means just that name not company

                Sony has been in the console game for a long long time and is considered the console king in terms of how popular it is and how it sells. These are FACTS

                I prefer MS but facts are facts

                Yea the XBXO ONE S has improved a ton but even the S is not a better gaming console then stock ps4. These are again FACTS

                The Scorpio will change that but that is a year away so for now Sony is running things going forward when Pro comes out

                  Sony is definitely the bigger and better brand name. Hell, they took the SNES CD-Rom and turned it into PlayStation which in turn led to them surpassing Nintendo and making Sega leave the hardware business. That's pretty impressive for a total and complete console newbie at the time.

                    Got a question. Can I use a USB 3.0 hub on my S? I have two external hard drives (2Tb and my old ps4 500gb in a 3.0 enclosure), And I want to use them both. I don't want any games or apps on my internal (500gb). I want to put the XBL games, apps, and 360 games on the 500gb external and keep the regular games on the 2tb. Right now my 2tb is 76% full. With a serious backlog of games.

                    I know there's a USB port in the front but I want to keep it clean looking. And the other USB port in the back has the Kinect on it.

                    If so I'll pick one up on Amazon

                      I got this one (because I didn't want any additional wires) and it works:

                      I have three USB items connected in the back (Kinect, Headset transmitter, 5tb HD) and any combination of the three worked through the hub.

                          Costco will have the One S Minecraft Bundle for $239.

                          Just hoping Best Buy comes through with something good since online from them is the only chance I have at snagging one of these deals.

                            If I recall the BF1 bundle will be that price as well. Not sure if that one is a warehouse special

                              I got the BF1 Bundle and GOW4 for $260 from BB about 2 weeks ago.

                              Also had $15 in gift certificates and like $85 on a gift card though, lol.

                                Honestly
                                heres my thinking Sony exclusive will only be on Sony consoles never on pc

                                Xbox or rather microsoft exclusive games are now all being ported over to Windows 10 on PC. Also the support going forward with PC versions HAS been good (recently forza 3 horizon has been said to have gotten segnificant boosts to its pc version)

                                So my thinking is this


                                I'll just upgrade my computer to a gtx 1080 and enjoy any exclusve microsoft content in that way

                                Having a switch a ps4 pro might be enough for me since i already have a xbox one s if i want to still be lazy PAST the scorpios debut?
