I don't agree. Betting on power instead of games won't win the day. It never has. the 1X isn't meant for the masses, xbox suits said so themselves, it's meant for enthusiasts.
So I'd bet money 1X will win 3 or 4 NPDs, xbox fanboys will go bonkers with "I told you so" comments and then it'll die off as there aren't enough xbox enthusiasts out there to sustain that.

"Since when did the Wii win the console war?
Yes the Wii sold more than the PS3 and the XBox360 "
you asked and answered your own question.
Funny you're disqualifying wii to dump on Nintendo. it's the same way Nintendo fans disqualify the Wii U so they can pretend it's switch vs PS4 and X1.
I checked out the kickstarter page and that's a stretch goal. Here's the kicker, they're asking for 70 or 80 ish grand Canadian but the stretch goals are all one million plus.
Ah, ok. you had me scratching my head there for a second.
That's a nice strawman, but it doesn't matter that it can do more games than other consoles. the point you're shifting away from is that the 1X is not a true 4K machine.
@atan, here's why I don't give them a pass on that. They intentionally had the perception out there that all games were going to be 4K/60. pretending otherwise is disingenuous. That's what they wanted you to believe and that's how they sold it. What they did was hype it up as "true 4K" and leave themselves an out for when they eventually got called on it. That's what Spencer did there and it's what albert Penello did here:

Thexboxhub.com is not a website that focuses on xbox?
That's one thing I was thinking, they'd need some type of switch on the controller (maybe on that built in screen) and have it able to support multiple thumb drives and/or Bluetooth connections. That way you wouldn't have to swap usb ports each time you play something on a different console.
And I'm shocked you think we'd fall for this.
Yup and that's fine. different things appeal to different gamers. I hear the new theme from xbox loyalists is PS exclusives are one and done. For me, I'll never get into MP games because I mainly play for things like story and plot. So hearing a 12 year old saying derogatory things about my mother, or hearing my friend bitch about his boss, and "dude bro, I just shot you in the nuts like a boss." all while playing the same maps, over and over and over. that does nothing...
That's true, the only one I saw able to do it... well I heard things like, "I had this extra case lying around so that adds $0," and "we got this part used."
to me those don't really count. It's like when people claim they "built" a VR ready PC for just a few hundred when they really mean they upgraded some parts in their PC.
Game changer? how? Aside from better resolution, what's it doing? Even better resolution comes with the territory with each new gen, so even it's biggest selling point isn't a game changer, it's just what's to be expected.
I get that this is coming from an xbox centric site, but leaving out platforms it's also coming to can hurt it's sales and this isn't some big budget RDR or COD. every sale means so much more.
I... I think I want this. $88 is a tad high, but seeing as it's pulling quadruple duty, plus with Nintendo support maybe coming... Yeah, I'll bite so long as the reviews say it works properly. Hope they reach their funding goal.
I still say this won't happen. This gen will end before it has a chance to catch PS2. I believe it could mind you, but I think one of their criteria for launching PS5 will be being sure PS4 will pass 100 million. Other things will factor in when to end this gen of course, but I'd bet money that's one milestone they want to make sure they reach. Especially with them being able to say all but one of the home consoles to break 100 million is a playstation.
if I still had my xbox the ones I'd be clamoring for would be KOTOR, Shenmue 2, and jade empire. None of them made this list.
"It's easy to see that to recouperate this loss, Sony Playstation branch have increased their PSN subscription.
There is zero troll here but facts. "
those two statements contradict each other. A fact can be proven, verified; what you said was speculation, not fact.
xbox - 14 million bullets fired in gears 4.
Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm horrible I know.
I doubt that'll happen. No doubt in my mind it could, but I don't think Sony will leave it on the shelves that long.
