@droweprice: I'll give you VR (even if I personally wouldn't be interested in it), but what could we possibly accomplish with 4k graphics that we can't do now? (Not to mention every genre that I care about works just fine with PS2-level hardware...) Also, I know we don't know what games it will have yet, but that was kind of a rhetorical question. That's the important part of a console, right?
Okay, but what games will it have? I could hardly care less about the power of the console, since we've at this point reached a level of hardware that's enough to handle basically any kind of game, and I'm 99% sure that all that extra power will just be used for fancier, more realistic, and more expensive graphics.
4) How is that a reason in itself to get the console? Maybe if you're on the fence, but... 3) And if you can't afford a subscription service,don't play enough different genres to make it worth it, and/or don't have a good enough Internet connection for streaming...? 2) Good reason, but not good examples (at least for me). 1) The amount of crap I give about this could be easily measured in Planck units.
Okay, I've had a Wii U since launch, and I still think the writer could have come up with better reasons to get one. #1 was right on, but...Amiibo? Seriously? And why is the Virtual Console such a big screaming deal anyway? Have people really never thought of getting old consoles secondhand?
Unless they put it on the PC, I don't care what they add to the game. I'd love to play it, but I have no smartphone or plans to get one, and quite frankly, screw phone games anyway.
@7tizz: Are these things that you can only get on the Xbox One, though, or are they also available on the PC?
Also, now that we've mentioned it, I pretty much don't play any open-world 3D games at all. I have yet to find one of those of any genre that I liked, unless Ys Origin (which is also the only action RPG I've played and liked) counts.
Mind you, the PS4 isn't much better in that regard.
@7tizz: Mainly platformers, so the Xbox line has never been kind to me. And the RPGs all seem to be western-style: dark, gritty, violent, and action-based.
