That free AE will get more people to get Ultra more likely

They need to step up their shit on the free games with Gold deal. Granted, they don't need to offer ANYTHING for free, but they started it, Sony followed suit and their free games blow 360's out of the water. I honestly haven't played one yet that has been offered. Dark Souls is cool, but that shit was literally $4.99 on the Marketplace a couple months back.

Offering it without Kinect is a great move, in my opinion. I definitely would have bought that version instead and saved some money. I just bought the $449.99 package with Titanfall a little over a month ago and I will literally never play Titanfall.

I have a suggestion for Microsoft - get some fucking GAMES people want to play. Aside from Killer Instinct, I have no use for the system currently.

PS4 has great games.

Both "next-gen" systems have absolutely nothing to play. KI can't really be an exception since it's not finished yet. I got my Xbox as a gift so I can't complain.

All these updates mean nothing for me. "Free" games are fine but what I really want is for Microsoft to fix the XB1's UI. It's so fucking cumbersome and choppy.
They also need to simplify the Party system. Too convoluted.

I basically want them too finish the console before they start releasing other shit.

I literally only bought an Xbox One so I could play KI. It was the ONLY selling point for me. There's really not much I care about on PS4 at the time either, though, to be honest.

The first game I'm excited to play on NextGen systems (aside from KI, of course) is going to be Watch_Dogs. Looks promising, but even THAT is not a dedicated NextGen game.

Sunset Overdrive, Dead Rising 3, Gears of War 4, Halo 5, Fable Legends, Titanfall, KI, others. And everything else that's good is multiconsole, and honestly, there isn't much of a graphical difference.

Just gotta wait.

Good on them.

If it wasn't for Project Beast, I would probably go in favor of Xbox, but with the souls series going back to being exclusive to PS, I have no choice but to support Sony.

 

[Youphemism]

I think I'll download SSFIV:AE, learn it at the highest possible level, beat down Filipino Champ and make him eat his words

 

[Fred Marvel]

400 price should have been there from the start
and neither new console is worth buying yet imo because they both still dont have any games lol

 

[ShotgunInsanity]

FUCK I was going to buy an Xbox One this weekend and then this shit? Guess I gotta wait a few more weeks
