He is a clown. Before both consoles launched he said the Xbox One would be more powerful than PS4 because "People DO understand that Microsoft has some of the smartest graphics programmers IN THE WORLD. We CREATED DirectX, the standard API’s that everyone programs against. So while people laude Sony for their HW skills, do you really think we don’t know how to build a system optimized for maximizing graphics for programmers? Seriously? There is no way we’re giving up a 30%+ advantage to Sony." This isnt a Microsoft vs Xbox comment just that he doesn't have a clue.
Travis G Ryan started at Xbox Magazine so they use to have him until the magazine got downsized, also IGN employee's don't make alot of money so I know for sure Xbox could afford him
One of the first things my son says when I get home from work is, "Daddy, play vidgames?" So we sit down and play some video games together (he watches). He's 2.. it warms my heart. :-)
xxSLAV33xx yeah rechargeable batteries are a million times better than a rechargeable controller. What’s that? Your controller died? Replace the 2 AAs with another pair that are already charged up on the charger. No need to ever connect a cable to your controller.
I’ve never been so excited for a console before. I originally got an xbox one for Rise of the Tomb Raider and just feel in love with Xbox and that’s were I play all my games now.
I'm genuinely excited for you guys! I've been a strict xbox gamer for 9 years now. I actually had the money and pre-order in line to get the Xbox One X - BUT - I decided in the end to get the Destiny 2 PS4 Pro bundle. I decided that having my current Xbox One is good enough to enjoy games and that I've been wanting to expand my game library for years now. I use my PS4 to play PS4 exclusives and I don't regret it. Still primarily an Xbox guy, but why restrict myself to brand loyalty when they've never really done anything for me right? I just want to play games and have fun.
Are people still using "I can't play it on my TV with a controller" as a reason they hate PC games? Welcome to 2017, where you can easily hook a PC up to a TV and use an Xbox One controller.... The cost differential for decent PC hardware and not wanting to fool with drivers etc. is a good reason to choose console over PC, but the "play from the couch with a controller" reason has been dead for about 10 years now.
Kristoff Brereton not really... Ryan was better on IGN when this guy was on UNLOCKED.. I love my ps4 and I don't have a Xbox so I am not hating but Greg isn't a Xbox person like Ryan is... Greg needs to stick to what he knows
Blue Apron is to damn expensive... Cheaper to buy food at the store and learn how to cook yourself... Greg is cheap for pushing this over rated expensive crap
Good to see that Greg doesn't have to buy another product like his supposed BEST FRIENDS out there... how he can relate to any bestfriend is fucking beyond me since he doesn't buy anything anymore...
Don't get me wrong, I love my Xbox One X but there's one part here that sort of irked me with what was said. "All your accessories will work." Yes, if you buy a $40 adapter for the Kinect. I wish they were handling it the way they did for the S. Some of us early adopters are pretty loyal people (and I do have to disclose I spent years working on various Xbox teams, but I'm not working for MS currently).
I don’t really like Xbox at all, but I definitely enjoyed this episode, and think Albert seems like a great guy. I would love to see him on more KF stuff
I can't think of a company right now, that lies so much and gets away with it systematically - A future with generations - No fidelity VR - Compromised 4K - No cloud to be found anywhere - Xbox One can absolutely work without DRM - Kinect is not an essential part of the Xbox One experience Have I missed something?
I feel like next season of cooking with greggy you should wait until after you go on the food network. Make some connections and then come back and collab with some food network types or do like a local chef showcase. As someone who is a young chef it always gets me chafed when we keep hearing about Gordon Ramsay. How about some exposure for some young up and coming chefs you know what I'm sayin. Honestly if Greg goes on the food network they probably gonna love his personality too much and offer him his own show lol.
What an insightful interview between these guys. Greg is one of the best to ever do games interviews and Albert Penello (new to me) is a great interviewee with a lot of passion behind him! Great work guys!
Should post disclaimer on this video advertisement for Xbox... Cause I doubt you going to mention anything negative about a console to an Xbox representative.
ill never understand why Greg thinks he can't play games on a computer and use a TV and a controller. It boggles my mind every time he says it because I literally do that exact thing every single day.
Steven James I’m sure you could but I️ don’t think it’s as simple. On console, you KNOW every game available will work with a controller and you don’t need any kind of driver updates/installations or any such thing. It’s plug and play the moment you get your console out of its box.
i remembered a couple of months ago i moved my computer to the tv and i had quite a few issues with font sizing with steam menus and along with some other things that i never have to worry about with my xbox or ps4
When you use steam on your TV click the button on the top right of the steam window that looks like a controller. It turns on Big Picture Mode. I like to call it "Console Mode". It turns your list of games into large icons and makes all the text larger so you can read them from further away on large screens. Its awesome.
Hahaha, "it can't be Forza all the time!" Great interview, Greggy! And Albert seems like a real nice, stand up guy. What a cool story he has to share. Thanks for helping to pass my time at work :)
People who buy it are going to feel burnt when they bring out the xbox 2 in a few years. They should have spent the R & D of the XBX on buying first party devs / games and wait for a xb2 and put sequels on it
Lavar Ball that is the launch of a console generation for Nintendo....this is a mid gen upgrade for ME, as was the Pro for Sony last year. I never expected a huge game to launch with either....more shocking that you did
Who knows? Gotta give it to MS, when it comes to business they just dont give up no matter how hard they get annihilated. At this rate the switch will outsell the xbone in under 2 years and MS will just keep trying. If they cared about games as they care about business and image, they would be the best gaming company in the world.
I have a gaming PC and all i have is an nvidia gtx 1060 superclocked 6gb gpu. Explained to me Albert from xbox if i have an extra $500 why i should get the xbox one x instead of upgrading my gpu to a 1070 for about the same price? I still play console games but I will stick with my exclusive on PS4 and my 3rd party on pc. Thank you
think I would be more excited and likely to purchase an X if 4K HDR TVs were more affordable (i.e. already owned one) and the price difference between the X and S models wasn't so great. last week Wal Mart had the BF1 S bundle on sale for $199 and Target's Black Friday leak is showing the 500 GB models cheaper plus a gift card. I just don't see the value in the extra $300+ in the X model. maybe if it came with an Elite controller, but even then it's still a hard sell IMO.
HDR TV's are very affordable now. TCL sells cheap ones that are actually good quality. You can get a 55" for like $350. It all depends on how much you want to spend and of what quality. you psend thousands of $$$ on TV's but also only psend $400. They are very affordable, I don't get why people still say they're expensive. They aren't more expensive than what 1080P TV's were a few years ago when they were the norm.
Dude, you can buy a 60" 4K tv for like $400.00. What brand are you looking for, if its the BIG 3 (Sony, Samsung, LG) then expect to pay north of $1000 for 4K with HDR otherwise Visio, Westinghouse and a few others are selling 4K displays for $400.
JFn Cho I totally agree. To make a XB1X really worth it I'd have to not only shelf my current pretty good TV then spend £450 for the console then an extra £500 for a tv (which I don't really need). £950 for a new console is a colossal waste of money especially when MS aren't exactly jumping at the bit showing me their brand new games. If I thought I was guaranteed the ability to run most games at 60fps with better AA and better effects but at 1080 it'd make more sense. But everything I keep seeing just doesn't show that. Even the recent Titanfall 2 analysis isn't great. It's all just margins and for that money who the fuck is dropping that kind of money on it. And for sure if I hadn't already got an XB1 all those exclusive games already on the system is great but I'm not going back to play Gears just to see it in 4K HDR. Even in this video he says getting that info across has been the hardest thing to do and then doesn't explain any of it. Just for the console's price will pay for 10+ brand new games.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that you'll spend +$600 on a new console to play the same games that you were playing yesterday. Also Xbox has no games.
Xbox One x vs PS4 is like Saga Saturn vs PlayStation 1 Saga had a better system than Sony but with almost no games compared to PlayStation 1.... Sony out sale Xbox by almost 50%
That's why i hate Microsoft: all their employees have to talk about their stuffs and nothing else (possibly even ignoring the rest)... Is he pretending to say that Cuphead is better than Odyssey? because that's straight up BS from an objective standpoint.
you realize he's a Microsoft employee and therefore he has to represent his company right? He is obviously not allowed to talk about other companies and publishers too much because he is representing Xbox One X and he is there to talk about that. Sure, he can dip and dabble about other games for a little while, but he is mostly there to promote the Xbox One X.
The Xbox One X as a system is what I wanted/thought the PS4 Pro was when I bought it. Especially with all the supersampling and adaptive resolution options (I have a 1440p monitor which is wasted on the PsPro). However, it has the same problem that Xbox has in general and that is the lack of exclusive games that I really want to play (and can't already on my mid tier PC). As far as a third party machine, I am sure it will be better than the Pro. But that is just not enough to throw 500 dollars for.
wait. so why is greg enthusiastic about getting the xbox one X...when its basicly just a graphics upgrade, but refuses to get a ps4 pro because "its just a graphics upgrade"?? ohh i get it...hes just sucking up to his guest. double standards people
Hey Mr. Microsoft/ Sega. Get your pal Gary Whitta to write a Skies of Arcadia sequel exclusive to Xbox and Microsoft. Surely a company with that much bank can afford to do that series justice.
Greggie world problems ' I get so many consoles for free and games for free I can play them all' no real world gamer ever bought a $60 game and not taken it out of the cellophane. You are so out of touch from where I'm sitting
Sorry to tell you Kevin. I'm a real world gamer and i still have star craft 2 and the heart of the swarm expansion unplayed, along with horizon zero dawn and others. It happens.
Cedric Buretta why would you buy Horizon and let it sit on the shelf for months when you could have waited to buy it on sale like now? I had to wait till the weekend because of family and work sometimes. but months?
at the time i was playing persona 5 and then i was playing mass effect andromeda, and then the stormblood expansion came out for ff14. So I was leaving up characters in that and playing other assorted games on the side. As for why i didn't buy it later. Because my intent was to play it sooner. It just didn't happen. Plus, if its a IP i believe in. i like supporting it launch to give the developers who worked on it the most bang for the buck as I appreciate the work that went into it, and if I buy it later in some cases the decision on if another should be made has already been made.
People buy games and don't get to them all the time. It's what happens when you have more spare money than spare time, which is the case for many. Especially people who work and have kids or work and go to school.
No it doesn’t. The X and the Pro were being developed before any destroying happened on either side. Both companies see how fast tech is advancing. That’s why they exist.
salman it’s possible but if all these people on these gaming sites and videos have anything to say about it the X will be the greatest console to ever exist by a long shot. based off some stuff ive been hearing it will probably sell 50 million units in the first hour... still not enough games I’m interested in to convince myself to buy one and i own a 4K HDR tv.
matt mitchell that’s great and all for us hardcore gamers but this is an item not everyone wants or needs. The power is awesome but exclusive wise I’m not sure they have big enough reason to sell these other than it play assassins creed slightly better. The average gamer and parent buying a console might not care. Also remember this has the same problem the Pro has and that’s these games are not built for the Pro or the X they are built for the PS4 and Xbone so they are brought up and not anywhere near their potential that the X and even to a lower extent the Pro can reach.
Aaron Anderson so much of that statement was far from the truth buddy, who are you trying to convince me or yourself? To hit on your earlier comment of 50 millions units in an hour, umm do u have any idea how ridiculous that number is in that amount of time? Do a little research before you open your mouth. Half of what you said was proven wrong just in this video alone smh
Xbox cant compete with Sony or Nintendo when it comes to 1st party exclusive games. and less then 12% of the population has 4K TVS. xbox x has a very small niche market.
That defeats the whole point of bringing gamers together to play the way you want. Also, exclusives are a thing of the past, with graphical sliders, shaders, lighting effects, view distance, you can have the same game on a lower-performing machine. PC has been doing it for years, and look at Doom on Switch.
ps4 pro is getting my money this holiday because there are single player games on it I can't play anywhere else. Besides, since microsoft has made it so I can play xbox exclusives on the PC now (I have a i7/ gtx 970 rig) then there is really no need for the xone X. Pity cuz I love my 360 and still play it a lot. $500 is a lot of scratch and I'm seeing some games are having a problem reaching 4k 60fps, which shouldn't be a problem, the X should be doing 4k at much higher than 60fps just to future proof itself. But since I'm a 1080p gamer then I could just get the base Ps4 and be happy and play xbox exclusives on the PC. I don't think they should have done that cross platform thing. . Exclusives still are a factor in what console people will buy. If you want to play Zelda or Mario you have to get the switch. My main reason for ps4 pro is Horizon Zero Dawn. I'm so impressed with that game.
You gotta go where you're most happy. I love that Microsoft is the innovator and risk taker. It's the reason why we had High-Speed console gaming as early as we did, as well as Hard Drives instead of memory cards. Netflix, Party Chat, Media Streaming, Achievements/Trophies, all because Microsoft pushes the limits of what current console manufacturers are doing. So even if the on-the-way-out-to-Zynga-job Don Mattrick tanked the X1 for its launch, Microsoft has proven time and time again they will not just accept mediocrity for the Xbox brand. Oddly enough I have an i7/gtx 970 as well, and the games look great on there and I'm excited to see what happens with the X. People complain about the lack of games and such, but its the ebb and flow of it all. For years we only had No Man's Sky, The Order 1886, Knack, LBP3, and well, the only game worth anything - Bloodborne on the PS4. That was a rough start. As a gamer, I play games wherever, and I hope the competition stays tight so these companies improve - I'm not an investor, I don't care. However, I will keep my 3rd Party Games on Xbox always because they've proven time and time again they're in it for the consumer, and not only the dollar. I can play most my 360 games on my X1 for no additional cost like PSNow, and that means a lot to someone like me that plays everything. Happy gaming!
they do way too much, and then have to step back and reduce. the xone X being the third console release same gen is a testament to that. Lost their way. theme will be 'about the games' now which is what any console should be about lol. hope they get their mojo back. Going from the ps2 to the 360 was a leap of faith for me but I did it late in the 360's cycle after they had stabilized the machines. Great console. It was all about the games for me. Netflix, Party Chat, Media Streaming, Achievements/Trophies might as well be a fancier on/off button to me. Its the single player gaming expereince that gets my money.
never heard of this albert from xbox.. but I gotta say this albert penello seems like a real fine guy..
He is a clown. Before both consoles launched he said the Xbox One would be more powerful than PS4 because
"People DO understand that Microsoft has some of the smartest graphics programmers IN THE WORLD. We CREATED DirectX, the standard API’s that everyone programs against. So while people laude Sony for their HW skills, do you really think we don’t know how to build a system optimized for maximizing graphics for programmers? Seriously? There is no way we’re giving up a 30%+ advantage to Sony."
This isnt a Microsoft vs Xbox comment just that he doesn't have a clue.
I wonder if the fact that internal MS teams were able to ship stuff like Forza and Gears at 1080p might have led to some of those comments.
Martin Bryce ya.. Then again ms pr can be pretty cringeworthy at times
He's not an engineer. So he doesn't have a deep knowledge of the hardware. His role is marketing, so of course he's going to do his job and do PR.
Mike M At least he should have known Europe is not a country...
Wait KF is actually talking about Xbox? About time.
Jacob Berry - *BULLFUCKINGSHIT* they do, OP is correct.
exactly what I was thinking. Xbox is finally doing something worth talking about.
They still need to hire a full-time Xbox person. Maybe they can steal Ryan from IGN.
Ha! I wish they could afford him. Ryan would be a huge get for them. Not sure they want to steal talent from IGN tho. Might ruffle some feathers
Travis G Ryan started at Xbox Magazine so they use to have him until the magazine got downsized, also IGN employee's don't make alot of money so I know for sure Xbox could afford him
One of the first things my son says when I get home from work is, "Daddy, play vidgames?" So we sit down and play some video games together (he watches). He's 2.. it warms my heart. :-)
Holy shit Gregory Miller wants kids never thought I'd see the day!
I like being able to just replace the battery when it inevitably completely dies instead of buying a new controller Greg.
xxSLAV33xx yeah rechargeable batteries are a million times better than a rechargeable controller.
What’s that? Your controller died? Replace the 2 AAs with another pair that are already charged up on the charger. No need to ever connect a cable to your controller.
Maybe include the rechargable pack? That would be a great move but either way I'm down with the X
I love that Kinda Funny always comes through with some of the best interviews. Thanks!
Great episode! I love these one on one interviews.
you don't have to throw your old game system away anymore--with xbox one X, you can throw away your NEW game system
This is the California Softball League we've come to offer you a contract for our major league team. Albert was a good guest though
I’ve never been so excited for a console before. I originally got an xbox one for Rise of the Tomb Raider and just feel in love with Xbox and that’s were I play all my games now.
E- Diddy getting one for me tomorrow and my wife's Scorpio edition comes in the mail tomorrow as well. I literally can't contain myself!
Legnakilledme Project Scorpio Edition from Amazon for me tomorrow as well. Enjoy!!
I'm genuinely excited for you guys! I've been a strict xbox gamer for 9 years now. I actually had the money and pre-order in line to get the Xbox One X - BUT - I decided in the end to get the Destiny 2 PS4 Pro bundle. I decided that having my current Xbox One is good enough to enjoy games and that I've been wanting to expand my game library for years now. I use my PS4 to play PS4 exclusives and I don't regret it. Still primarily an Xbox guy, but why restrict myself to brand loyalty when they've never really done anything for me right? I just want to play games and have fun.
E- Diddy Why? XBox still has fuck all decent games.
It's nice to see Greg interviewing again,
Sometimes I forget that he's really good at that :P
Albert was an awesome guest! Would love to see him come back one day soon!
Awesome show , very nice to see a Xbox focused episode of kindafunny. Would love to see more Xbox/one X focused episodes in the future.
this is great interview! Loved it!
Great episode! That Sega story how Albert got his start is incredible!
Are people still using "I can't play it on my TV with a controller" as a reason they hate PC games? Welcome to 2017, where you can easily hook a PC up to a TV and use an Xbox One controller....
The cost differential for decent PC hardware and not wanting to fool with drivers etc. is a good reason to choose console over PC, but the "play from the couch with a controller" reason has been dead for about 10 years now.
great interview greg. and thanks to albert for the insightful answers :D
Great episode! Could you get Phil or Mike Ybarra on the show too?
Great interview
Greg Miller is truly a good interviewer
Kristoff Brereton not really... Ryan was better on IGN when this guy was on UNLOCKED.. I love my ps4 and I don't have a Xbox so I am not hating but Greg isn't a Xbox person like Ryan is... Greg needs to stick to what he knows
Great episode, we need more xbox content like this that's insightful and positive.
I'm one of the few OG Xbox controller fans. I used the big one until it broke and there wasn't any more being sold.
I really enjoy the episodes with people from the industry. Keep up the good show!
Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Y'all should just come to Magfest. Have a good time.
Hello Fresh > Blue Apron
JFn Cho plated is pro
Blue Apron is to damn expensive... Cheaper to buy food at the store and learn how to cook yourself... Greg is cheap for pushing this over rated expensive crap
Good to see them give Greg and Gary and Xbox. They will never use it but yay
Good to see that Greg doesn't have to buy another product like his supposed BEST FRIENDS out there... how he can relate to any bestfriend is fucking beyond me since he doesn't buy anything anymore...
X gonna give it to ya
Man Albert looks like Michael Ian Black playing Bush in Wet Hot
Don't get me wrong, I love my Xbox One X but there's one part here that sort of irked me with what was said.
"All your accessories will work."
Yes, if you buy a $40 adapter for the Kinect. I wish they were handling it the way they did for the S. Some of us early adopters are pretty loyal people (and I do have to disclose I spent years working on various Xbox teams, but I'm not working for MS currently).
It was such a pleasure listening to Albert. I hope this won't be the last time he makes an appearance on the show!
I don’t really like Xbox at all, but I definitely enjoyed this episode, and think Albert seems like a great guy. I would love to see him on more KF stuff
Bought Red Tube...still can't escape the ads.....
A J become a patreon supporter or support them on Twitch
I can't think of a company right now, that lies so much and gets away with it systematically
- A future with generations
- No fidelity VR
- Compromised 4K
- No cloud to be found anywhere
- Xbox One can absolutely work without DRM
- Kinect is not an essential part of the Xbox One experience
Have I missed something?
"It's that thing of like..." --Greg Miller , every 2-5 seconds
I feel like next season of cooking with greggy you should wait until after you go on the food network.

The public like generations, so now Microsoft has changed their tune about the end of generations
Good episode. Got my x. Love it
I just want to play Top Spin 4 again!
Not that many people covering dot hack gu last recode 😓

Awesome guest. I want to do what he does!
4k tv required, up to 100gb downloads.................Im sorry but this is not things I need in my life right now.
True
Ok that's understandable.
Can’t wait for the X!!
Hahaha, "it can't be Forza all the time!"
Great interview, Greggy! And Albert seems like a real nice, stand up guy. What a cool story he has to share. Thanks for helping to pass my time at work :)
Albert was such a great guest!
He was better on Unlocked, Ryan knew what he was talking about... Greg isn't a Xbox person, he is just playing a front...
People who buy it are going to feel burnt when they bring out the xbox 2 in a few years.
They should have spent the R & D of the XBX on buying first party devs / games and wait for a xb2 and put sequels on it
Switch launches with Breath of the Wild. XBX ummm...
Lavar Ball Xbox has way more games than switch
Lavar Ball that is the launch of a console generation for Nintendo....this is a mid gen upgrade for ME, as was the Pro for Sony last year. I never expected a huge game to launch with either....more shocking that you did
Super Lucky's tale :)
Who knows? Gotta give it to MS, when it comes to business they just dont give up no matter how hard they get annihilated. At this rate the switch will outsell the xbone in under 2 years and MS will just keep trying. If they cared about games as they care about business and image, they would be the best gaming company in the world.
I just can't buy into a console with no exclusives :/
karloluffy they are exclusive because they’re not on the other consoles. PC is the exception.
That was one of the greatest episode endings of all time Greg.
Xbox 1X just came out...and the tech is already outdated and underpowered. Viva la PC!
Can’t wait!!!!
GOT AXBOX one it cool to paly on
I have a gaming PC and all i have is an nvidia gtx 1060 superclocked 6gb gpu. Explained to me Albert from xbox if i have an extra $500 why i should get the xbox one x instead of upgrading my gpu to a 1070 for about the same price? I still play console games but I will stick with my exclusive on PS4 and my 3rd party on pc. Thank you

I paid £350 for a 49” LG 4K UHD HDR tv earlier this year, admittedly it was on sale it was like £500, i don’t know what that is us but not over $1000

This was awesome. Great guest.
My value on my Xbox has not been met where are the games ?
Braun Stokes Men There are 1137 games on xbox
Actually 1378
PS4 has 1,648 and first party exclusive with her few console exclusives that
Should I buy ps4 pro or xbox 1 x game over Greggy
BeNfRaNk8428 ps4 pro since greggy might not reply
Depends if you want better exclusive games or games to look a little better
Bryan Lonsdale better looking and running
Bravo 6 Delta yes, and running. For me though, never had a problem with games running. So neither an issue for me. I prefer the games
The Xbox One X as a system is what I wanted/thought the PS4 Pro was when I bought it. Especially with all the supersampling and adaptive resolution options (I have a 1440p monitor which is wasted on the PsPro).
However, it has the same problem that Xbox has in general and that is the lack of exclusive games that I really want to play (and can't already on my mid tier PC).
As far as a third party machine, I am sure it will be better than the Pro. But that is just not enough to throw 500 dollars for.
Excellent episode and interview, Albert clearly IS one of the coolest guys at Microsoft.
yes, WHY ?!?!
wait. so why is greg enthusiastic about getting the xbox one X...when its basicly just a graphics upgrade, but refuses to get a ps4 pro because "its just a graphics upgrade"?? ohh i get it...hes just sucking up to his guest.
double standards people
He has a ps4 pro now as his old ps4 is done
it's amusing how Greg is talking about Crackdown 3 being released as a shitty $60 game or wait until it's great. 🤔😂
This was a great episode
This Albert guy is great!
Albert seems like a really nice dude.
1:25
This guy was awesome. Makes me wanna get an Xbox.
This was avery fine gamescast. I tip my cap to you Albert and Greg. Bring on Phil Spencer!
*X.B.O.X*
Desperation?
Poever For who... Greg or Xbox lol haha
Hey Mr. Microsoft/ Sega. Get your pal Gary Whitta to write a Skies of Arcadia sequel exclusive to Xbox and Microsoft. Surely a company with that much bank can afford to do that series justice.
kid on the curb
Penello you scrub lol
Cooking with greggy did that bad huh? Only lasted 2 months give or take? Shocker! NOT!
MotoGamer It wasn't cancelled. It was a seasonal show.
Bc xbox one does that only 420p.
Greggie world problems ' I get so many consoles for free and games for free I can play them all' no real world gamer ever bought a $60 game and not taken it out of the cellophane. You are so out of touch from where I'm sitting
Sorry to tell you Kevin. I'm a real world gamer and i still have star craft 2 and the heart of the swarm expansion unplayed, along with horizon zero dawn and others. It happens.
Kevin Mac It's literally his job to have an opinion on most (if not all) major releases. Do you expect him to buy everything on his own?
Cedric Buretta why would you buy Horizon and let it sit on the shelf for months when you could have waited to buy it on sale like now? I had to wait till the weekend because of family and work sometimes. but months?
at the time i was playing persona 5 and then i was playing mass effect andromeda, and then the stormblood expansion came out for ff14. So I was leaving up characters in that and playing other assorted games on the side. As for why i didn't buy it later. Because my intent was to play it sooner. It just didn't happen. Plus, if its a IP i believe in. i like supporting it launch to give the developers who worked on it the most bang for the buck as I appreciate the work that went into it, and if I buy it later in some cases the decision on if another should be made has already been made.
People buy games and don't get to them all the time. It's what happens when you have more spare money than spare time, which is the case for many. Especially people who work and have kids or work and go to school.
it exists cause xbox is getting destroyed by playstation
Isaac11 that's the short version.
For some reason Microsoft is not a software company when it comes to Xbox.
America was beind Japan before. History will repeat itself.
they began designing it in 2012 you fuckface
No it doesn’t. The X and the Pro were being developed before any destroying happened on either side. Both companies see how fast tech is advancing. That’s why they exist.
it exist because microsoft cant compete with Sony when it comes exclusive games so they need the strongest console selling pitch.
X is gone flop
salman it’s possible but if all these people on these gaming sites and videos have anything to say about it the X will be the greatest console to ever exist by a long shot. based off some stuff ive been hearing it will probably sell 50 million units in the first hour... still not enough games I’m interested in to convince myself to buy one and i own a 4K HDR tv.
It's gone 6 flops, of the T kind, and it's gone 12gb GDDR5 as well
matt mitchell that’s great and all for us hardcore gamers but this is an item not everyone wants or needs. The power is awesome but exclusive wise I’m not sure they have big enough reason to sell these other than it play assassins creed slightly better. The average gamer and parent buying a console might not care.
Also remember this has the same problem the Pro has and that’s these games are not built for the Pro or the X they are built for the PS4 and Xbone so they are brought up and not anywhere near their potential that the X and even to a lower extent the Pro can reach.
Aaron Anderson so much of that statement was far from the truth buddy, who are you trying to convince me or yourself?
To hit on your earlier comment of 50 millions units in an hour, umm do u have any idea how ridiculous that number is in that amount of time? Do a little research before you open your mouth. Half of what you said was proven wrong just in this video alone smh
Xbox cant compete with Sony or Nintendo when it comes to 1st party exclusive games. and less then 12% of the population has 4K TVS. xbox x has a very small niche market.
Xbox rocks
Ehhh 500 bones is a lot for a tiny upgrade, standard PS4 ftw
Caboose2244 Tiny? Lol
The upgrade is pretty big.
But what GAMES can it play that his PS4 can't?
Not really many worth of note.
Caboose2244
Got an Xbox without the Kinect for like $300. Not going to upgrade to the X
shoulds have released with at least 3 exclusives.
great stuff though!
That defeats the whole point of bringing gamers together to play the way you want. Also, exclusives are a thing of the past, with graphical sliders, shaders, lighting effects, view distance, you can have the same game on a lower-performing machine. PC has been doing it for years, and look at Doom on Switch.
ps4 pro is getting my money this holiday because there are single player games on it I can't play anywhere else. Besides, since microsoft has made it so I can play xbox exclusives on the PC now (I have a i7/ gtx 970 rig) then there is really no need for the xone X. Pity cuz I love my 360 and still play it a lot.
$500 is a lot of scratch and I'm seeing some games are having a problem reaching 4k 60fps, which shouldn't be a problem, the X should be doing 4k at much higher than 60fps just to future proof itself. But since I'm a 1080p gamer then I could just get the base Ps4 and be happy and play xbox exclusives on the PC. I don't think they should have done that cross platform thing. .
Exclusives still are a factor in what console people will buy. If you want to play Zelda or Mario you have to get the switch. My main reason for ps4 pro is Horizon Zero Dawn. I'm so impressed with that game.
You gotta go where you're most happy. I love that Microsoft is the innovator and risk taker. It's the reason why we had High-Speed console gaming as early as we did, as well as Hard Drives instead of memory cards. Netflix, Party Chat, Media Streaming, Achievements/Trophies, all because Microsoft pushes the limits of what current console manufacturers are doing. So even if the on-the-way-out-to-Zynga-job Don Mattrick tanked the X1 for its launch, Microsoft has proven time and time again they will not just accept mediocrity for the Xbox brand.
Oddly enough I have an i7/gtx 970 as well, and the games look great on there and I'm excited to see what happens with the X. People complain about the lack of games and such, but its the ebb and flow of it all. For years we only had No Man's Sky, The Order 1886, Knack, LBP3, and well, the only game worth anything - Bloodborne on the PS4. That was a rough start.
As a gamer, I play games wherever, and I hope the competition stays tight so these companies improve - I'm not an investor, I don't care. However, I will keep my 3rd Party Games on Xbox always because they've proven time and time again they're in it for the consumer, and not only the dollar. I can play most my 360 games on my X1 for no additional cost like PSNow, and that means a lot to someone like me that plays everything.
Happy gaming!
they do way too much, and then have to step back and reduce. the xone X being the third console release same gen is a testament to that. Lost their way. theme will be 'about the games' now which is what any console should be about lol. hope they get their mojo back.
Going from the ps2 to the 360 was a leap of faith for me but I did it late in the 360's cycle after they had stabilized the machines. Great console. It was all about the games for me. Netflix, Party Chat, Media Streaming, Achievements/Trophies might as well be a fancier on/off button to me. Its the single player gaming expereince that gets my money.
Money. Its a one word answer
