What was your deciding factor of buying an Xbox One X

I personally was debating between getting one, or saving my money, but then I remembered PUBG, and I decided that I wanted to play the best console version of it. What about you guys?

Oh, and btw, there is a great deal for one of the best 4k hdr tvs of 2016 if you don't have one yet. The vizio p50-c1, at sams club. Currently $598 for 50"

I'm an Xbox fan and want the extra power... simple decision for me.

Strongest console ever and I already have 150+ games in my Xbox library

I'm a rabid lem, duh.

Seriously though, it's an impressive system and I want it, I want something to finally validate my 4K TV purchase and this absolutely will.

I want a 4K console, and I want to play multiplats at their best without paying for a high end PC. Plus I have over 210 games in my X1 library.

yup, all the usual suspects

@aigis: Your point? We're answering the question and contributing to the thread. Unlike you.

@aigis: Do you have a problem with people wanting an X1X? You're pathetic you know that?

@hrt_rulz01: Hey, I didnt say it was a bad thing :P

I dont feel my serious answer would go over well anyways

I got my bud Kevin Miller coming this Saturday to calibrate my 55" 4K Samsung KS8000 so definitely looking forward to playing some games on it and watching my 4K movies here. Red Dead Redemption 2 :)

@primorandomguy: Do what you want, none of my business. The response time on this is pretty quick btw, gj

@aigis: Lol, yeah I don't doubt it.

@aigis: We all know you're anti MS, it's ok. Go ahead with your fanboy serious answer lol.

@primorandomguy: Im anti-nintendo too ya know

And my serious answer is just im not getting it. Its a boring answer, I tried to warn you

Oh look the usual cow suspects

Amidoinitright?

I want my 3rd party games to run at their best and at the highest resolutions on console. The only way to do that is with an Xbox One X.

The exclusives.

@FLOPPAGE_50: nailed it

To play all the Xbox console exclusives without all the hassle of the Windows 10 store and to play the best versions of 3rd party games for at least the next 2-3 years.

My deciding factor were the console launch exclusives :)

The games. I have over 100 Xbox One games already and upgrading those is a very appealing prospect for me. I also love the first party games that Microsoft puts out right now so that will be continuing. Having a 4K UHD player is another strong reason for me to choose the system.

Deciding factor? That it wasn't too late to get one.

Higher frame rate, resolution and detail without the hassle of tweaking, uninstalling and upgrading.

Well you do have to go all out to get the most powerful console ever created. Thankfully MSoft knows that their fans only want the best games imaginable.

Return Of The King

I was going to buy it for Forza 7 but not anymore, well not until MS stops doing dumb shit like this.

@i_p_daily: You're seriously not buying an X1X because of that?

Yeah I kind of hate MS for doing this too. You don't need all the Xbox games on the PC.

So are you guys pissed because MS are making a PC-only game, and not bringing it to console?

Look i've bought every MS console, some of them more than once (RROD) paid for live for 8yrs, and MS go and do that. Why should I spend $650AUS and give MS more money when they are starting to make games that won't play on my console, can you answer me that?

I'm fine with Xbox games being on PC also because I can still play them on my Xbox, but when they put money into making a game that I can't play annoys me. I support MS yearly PC gamers do not, yet MS says hey lets make a PC only game, pure fucking genius and the person who thought of that idea should get a raise.

I'm pissed because i've supported MS since the original Xbox through to the 360 and now XB1, and I see this as a slap in the face. They are making all first party games for Xbox and now PC (which i'm fine with), cancelled a few Xbox games (which i'm not), and now making PC only games. Why should I give MS more money for the Scorpio?

Can't please everyone, people have been asking for new Ages of Empire for a looong time, most of those people would be pissed if the new one was watered down to work on controller and as there's still no real m+kb support on xbox someone is bound to be mad.

I find it unlikely that the game wont appear on Xbox at all down the road, maybe when m+kb support arrives or they make a another version suitable for controllers

Are you a PC gamer, or do you own an Xbox?

Hmmm yeah I guess... it's only 1 game but. Can't see them making a huge amount of games for PC only. Just every now & then.

Mainly PC yes, do have og xbox and 360, I updated my reply a bit stating it'll most likely come to xbox down the road

And everyone that they make for PC is one less you and I as Xbox gamers miss out on, with funds being used to make games you can't play, and remember it all starts with 1.

@i_p_daily: It's just one game, and it happens to be a game that really wouldn't work well with controllers. But I understand the sentiment. I still think you should get an X1X though. Don't hold yourself back because a corporation does something you don't like. Every corporation is going to do that. You just gotta ask yourself, is it that big of a deal to keep yourself from getting something you really want?

@i_p_daily: Yeah maybe... or maybe it could help fund other games for Xbox. But we'll see how it pans out. Certainly wouldn't not got an X because of it.

A game like Age of Empires is really meant to be on PCs, so I am not mad about that being only on PC. I do not understand why MS is making every Xbox game on the PC too. They can keep some only on Xbox like Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves and some others should be only on Xbox Consoles.

Sheep.

Halo 5G is not available for PC. Age of Empires 4's control system and complexity may not work on XBO format.

Just wanted to have the version with the small green project scorpio -print.

Yeah I know that but I think MS should not make every major Xbox game on the PC too. They need some ammo to fight the Xbox haters.

From MS POV, Windows PCs are just a higher cost Xbox (DirectX Box) SKUs (think of 3DO clone gaming machines). MS store is selling OEM partner's desktop gaming PCs with MS's branded hardware.

One of the few major reasons why 3DO failed is due to gaming PCs already reached clone gaming machine's purpose.

Xbox's exist for small CPU:big GPU ratio hardware at a price point i.e. MS's disagreement with PC OEM's setup at a price point. AMD didn't self funded X1X's APU and AMD's APU size haven't exceed 260 mm2.

When consumers buys Windows based gaming PC, they are buying another Xbox (DirectX box). As long consumers are buying into MS's ecosystem, it's good for MS.

If You're Going To Steal Software, Steal From Us: Microsoft Exec

Microsoft business group president Jeff Raikes estimates that between 20% and 25% of all software used in the United States is pirated, but said some pirates end up becoming paying customers.

If you're going to be a software counterfeiter, then please copy and illegally use Microsoft products.

The above plea isn't from a posting on a hacker forum. Rather, it's how Microsoft business group president Jeff Raikes feels about software counterfeiters. "If they're going to pirate somebody, we want it to be us rather than somebody else," Raikes said.

"We understand that in the long run the fundamental asset is the installed base of people who are using our products," Raikes said. "What you hope to do over time is convert them to licensing the software."

Raikes said Microsoft isn't about to abandon efforts to track down those who illegally copy and use its products. However, he said Microsoft has to balance that approach with the recognition that users of purloined software could one day become legitimate customers.

"You want to push towards getting legal licensing, but you don't want to push so hard that you lose the asset that's most fundamental in the business," said Raikes, who estimated that between 20% and 25% of all software used in the United States is pirated.

Raikes said Microsoft is developing so-called "pay-as-you-go" software offerings with pricing schemes similar to those used by cell phone companies for emerging markets as a way of encouraging low-income individuals to use the company's products legally.

Linux is dead on desktop with MS's attitude on piracy e.g. unlicensed Windows 10 works fine. MS's core business is to get it's ecosystem to every market segments.

Using another ecosystem hurts MS e.g. MacOS X or ChromeOS.

Anti-MS camp wanted to argue for Xbox divide from Windows PCs when the difference is like Sony's PS Vita, PS3 and PS4 SKUs.

Why should I give a corporation money when they do something I don't like. Sony has no racing games I want and that's something I don't like and i haven't given them any of my money.

It's not about wether the game will work on console or not, that's not the issue and people seem to be harping on that, it's about supporting the customers that support you. And remember it all starts with 1.

And it could also fund more PC only games. I don't own a 4k tv, and since we live in OZ, you and I both know that a 4ktv/Scorpio combo is going to cost at least $2,000 because I would only want a Samsung tv. That's a massive investment that i'm making, for that I want a massive investment from MS which I feel they're not doing that.

If you and others are getting the Scorpio then that's cool because I know you guys will enjoy it. I feel different so no Scorpio for me for now.

Serious question ron, do you own an XB1? and do you plan on getting the Scorpio?

Good lord, some people on here really need to get out of the system wars bubble and get a fucking brain. The more people who can play a game the better, however if that means making the game shallow as hell then no it shouldn't be done.

and multiplatform games will look better on the X.

I like how all existing games will look and play better.

Another growing list of enhanced games pushes the look and performance even further.

All multiplats will run and look better on Teh X.

You don't need a 1080p tv to take advantage of this but just to be safe I picked up a LG 55" OLED.

Cows losing their minds over the power.
