Xbox 360 to Xbox One: Is it worth it yet?

So do you guys think it's worth it to go for an Xbox One at launch? I will say I just don't see a whole lot of difference in the graphics just yet. I have a lot of 360 games I still will be playing like GTA5, WWE2k14. Also I've been playing Bioshock Infinite and that game has some of the best graphics I've seen this gen. I don't see a big graphics leap between Forza 4 and 5.

T o be perfectyly knonest with you i do not think it will be worth getting the Xbox One on release date. The games are going to be cross platform so you can get them on the Xbox 360. Sure you could say that the graphics will be sharper but i would wait until the games coming out on it are being focused for the Xbox One so they are pusing boundaries with the games. 

Dead Rising 3 and Ryse are games that have convinced me to buy a xbox one.

Forza 5 got me sold on the xbox one. I don't care what anybody says I will buy this console sometime in first quater of the new year.

I don't think it is worth getting at launch. I'm going to wait until this time next year to consider next gen.

I am going to wait at least a year.

this is not the case with me as i am going good with the Xbox gaming and will love to play the coming titles even .. no matter other are finding it bad

look back at the all the games that came out for the xbox 360 ans ps3 and compare them to the games they have out for both of them now. you'll see that the difference is like night and day in terms of quality and the old (launch) games are so bad that they're not even worth $1.

Good point man!  I agree.

For me it's not only worth it, but a necessity.

I'm so terribly bored of this generation.  The long boot times, the long loading times, the sub-HD graphics, the lack of multitasking; this generation is really showing its age.  If not for GTA V coming out right now my current generation consoles would be in their boxes and in my closet right now.

The exclusive games may not be there just yet.  It is, after all, only the launch of the console, but even the third party offerings will be better on new hardware. I don't want to play games on current consoles when I can have a better experience on new hardware that I was already going to buy.  The exclusives that make a new console "worth it" will come.

I had a ton of fun with this generation.  It provided me with some of my greatest gaming experiences yet.  That being said, it started in 2005 and, as we enter the closing months of 2013, I need a hardware refresh.  I think gaming needs a hardware refresh.

For many of you I'm sure you're perfectly happy with the current games and hardware.  That's great.  Good for you.  For me, I'm not, and I cannot wait for the next console generation to hit.

I wan to play Ryse & CoD on XB1. Plus, I want to use the media features (which was teh deciding factor for me in getting an XB1).

For me it's worth it. It has the day one games I want in Dead Rising 3, Ryse son of Rome, and Crimson Dragon. And also I find the system itself to be quite attractive minus the power supply.

Dead Rising isn't worth 500$ to me. I threw down a deposit on the Xbox One, but I just am not enthusiastic about either console. I still love my 360 and there is so much to play.

Its not like we will see massive price drops next year so I'm going for it. Although I have the issue of not even have a current gen console on hand :/ 

Yes I'm missing out on GTA V :( 

These are the games i'm interested in on the xbox one.

Far Cry 4

Dead Rising 3

Ryse Son of Rome

Sunset Overdrive

Mad Max

Halo 5

A new game from Rockstar

A new game from ID Software

Wolfenstein The New Order

Destiny

I actually had the One pre-ordered but cancelled it last night. A main reason is that I am getting married in January and could use that $500 towards something more important, but also the fact that the 360 will still have games out and be supported for good length of time, I am no longer in a rush. Plus, I am willing to see if a kinect less version will come out with a cheaper price. If not, no big deal, but I've become content with what I have and want to be a better steward with my money. I will enjoy the One sometime in the near future.

I'll be getting a PS4 first, the graphical change has been very noticeable on that system vs. the One. However I'll be getting a One eventually, I'll tell you that right now. Gotta have it, I'm sure it will have it's own great exclusives. Especially Halo obviously.

Actually, it was the release of Xbox One that prompted me to finally buy a 360. I've been away from games for a long time (my most recent console is a Dreamcast) and my wife and I had been planning to buy a current gen console for a couple of years. I ordered my 360 last night. There's seven years worth of games that I haven't played, and cheap games too!

Welcome back into the fray :)

To be honest, everybody saying "this launch title sold me on a getting an xbox1" are just people who wanted to be impressed with the xbox1. I have a xbox360 and has been my primary console this generation but there is no reason to buy a xbox1 at launch. The titles are limp at best.

Ryse? I'm not trusting a former Kinnect title to be anything other than a crap shoot at best. It could be good but I'm not holding my breathe.

Forza? Let's be honest. It's going to be more of the same. Just like Drive club and GT on the playstation side.

Dead Rising? Where you really impressed with Dead Rising 2 or any of capcoms recent games for that matter? I haven't been, including the joke that capcom has the nerve to call Lost Planet 3.

After a failed DRM policy, still having to connect to the internet and this ignorant kinnect policy, plus a $100 more than the PS4 (which IGN reports developers already saying it's more powerful then the XB1)  I see no reason to buy a Xbox1 at launch.

The only game Microsoft showed off that had me interested is Titan Fall but I'll pick that up on PC. What hurts microsoft on that front though, is that it's becoming more and more likely that it is only going to be a timed exclusive, with the PS4 getting it down the road.

Microsoft slapped around Sony this generation. Heading into the next one it's looking like Sony is about to return the favor, especially since Microsofts best Developer has gone 3rd party.

I had an X Box One day one with free Fifa 14 included (But I dont play football games) pre-ordered.But I feel the same as you,I was going to have to sell my 360 and all my games to fund the ONE,but I have now decided to keep my 360 cos I still want to be able to play Gears Forza 4 and Halo 3 and 4.

I have therefore cancelled my pre-order and will now be getting COD Ghosts for my 360,cos I still love playing MW3 too.

I was buying Ryse and Forza 5 with my ONE,but £429 to play 2 new games at the moment when Ive already got a good collection for my 360,just didn't balance out.

I will get a ONE later in future though,but not for at least 18 months.
