I love how Adam can talk for 26 minutes with such passion that it doesn't get boring. Some other youtubers waffle on for 10 minutes and repeat themselves too much. Keep up the great work Adam! I love all of your videos and podcasts.
He's the first gaming TH-cam guy I started following. I'm the same age and find I have alot in common , all reasons he's still my favorite TH-camr. Awesome to see all the success he's had. Only gripe is he never got a new camera lol
I’ve been playing OG Xbox games on the 360 and it’s a glitchy mess, OG Xbox and 360 work perfectly on the Xbox one systems 😍an Xbox one x is on my shopping list
I got the Project Scorpio Edition of the Xbox One X and I gotta say, Adam is totally correct all my old games that are backwards compatible look and run way better than ever before! And all the multiplats look the best on here on my 75 inch 4K TV! Love it! I've ALWAYS supported Xbox since the beginning! I don't care that PS4 is winning and Xbox is losing because I never got a PS4 even though I have the other consoles predecessors. I like that Xbox is trying to get all these niche groups by rolling out all these different features that Playstation isn't even caring about! Thanks for another great video Adam, keep up the great work, and BTW it was great to meet you this past E3 in LA!!!
The great thing MS has done is the backwards compatibility program. And now they are doing it with the OG Xbox games as well. Because it's X86 architecture, the Xbox Scarlet will more than likely have all these games from 3 generations of hardware instantly backwards compatible on that new system as well. And by that time the game library will be huge!
Yeah, I think MS know that backwards compatibility is important for gamers and each generation has hundreds, sometimes thousands of games that many people miss out on. A lot of these gamers have since sold their old consoles to get the new ones. To be able to continue to play those legacy games on current gen hardware is a big positive. Not only that, MS has gone the extra mile and have increased the performance on a lot of the titles.
Backwards compatibility is useful to some but personally I feel like I've played all those games if I wanted to play them again it would have to be a current gen remaster I get that some people like it and has its uses I just don't see it as a huge selling point
Have to admit, I've held off on Red Dead 2 purely because I'm gunning for a 4k tv and a Xbox 1 X on Black Friday and want to play it in 4k on a bigger screen. This is from a die hard PlayStation guy who loves his ps4 and who's first ever console was the ps1. I just can't justify the ps4 Pro, it doesn't do enough over the OG ps4. It's a slightly sharper picture, and that's about it. Playstation took a step forward but Xbox took a leap, probably because they had to
I bought the PS4 first this generation then I got a xb1 about a year later, now a all these years later I can say the PS4 was by far the better for me Xbox UI is windows based and still doesn't run great and is much more complex then the PS4's UI the Dualshock 4 is the best controller I've ever used has the best d-pad and front bumpers ever and doesn't have AA batteries nonsense Xbox's largest problem though is it now shares all it's exclusives with Windows PC's, I bought it for it's exclusives Halo,Gears, and Forza bought a launch model xb1 then a couple months later they announced the S,X and sharing games with PC's at E3 2016......real bummer and most of Microsoft's IP this generation have been subpar especially compared to what PlayStation has been offering Overall the Xbox is a decent console they really turned it around quite a bit, just when it's compared to its main competition it looks really lacking let's hope they can make it competitive again next-gen
Microsoft making the decision to bring Xbox games over to PC was a big decision and it's good because they had the consumer in mind. They knew that it would make Xbox more inferior because now it won't have any true exclusives, but they did it mainly because they want to improve the overall public and consumer view of the Xbox brand itself. They even brought Halo to PC, Halo practically made the Xbox brand, that was a big move by Microsoft and it really shows what their intentions are.
The Xbox One X is an excellent console but it's problem as has always been the case with Microsoft is exclusives. If you have a gaming PC or even if you don't, there's just not a reason to own both a PS4 or an Xbox unless you really care about Gears or Halo. I look at my PS4 collection and I have 20+ excellent exclusive titles that I can't play anywhere else. I look at my Xbox and I have...none. I try to get multi-plats on Xbox and exclusives on PS4 just to give it a purpose other than being a 4K UHD player. Still, I wish Microsoft would invest in some serious exclusives as Sony is destroying them in that department. Hardware wise, they've nailed it.
the thing is though Microsoft is not just Xbox they are also Windows and People have been going after them for years for not backing pc for real but in the 360 days some games never came to pc gears 2 and beyond halo 2 and beyond fable 2 and so on never came to pc i have to disagree With another thing you said as well even if you do not own a pc there is no reasont to get an Xbox one there you totally do i feel because then you got loads of stuff not found on the other consoles and With ps now from sony is getting the abillity to download games some ps4 i might add its getting kinda Muddy on both sides
It's a shame because this wasn't always the case. The Original Xbox & Xbox 360 (during the first few years) had plenty of neat exclusives. They really should've stuck to their OG Xbox strategy. Aka just invest in proper exclusives.
One thing that would really help is if they made EVERY Xbox game that you buy compatible with both PC and the Xbox One. Games like Assassin's Creed, I have to pick and choose if I want to play them on PC or console. I almost always default to PC because I can get better performance. If I can buy the game on Xbox and get to play it on both PC or the console itself, that eliminates that problem and almost makes Microsoft a valid competitor to Steam.
I think it's important to point out that while an Xbox One isn't necessary to play Microsoft's games, it is still a valid option particularly for those who prefer the console ecosystem. The idea here is that Microsoft is giving options. And while exclusives are important for PS4 and Switch, I think Microsoft only needs console exclusives because the Windows player base is entirely too big to ignore. Sony and Nintendo (other than the aging 3ds) don't have a secondary platform that they need to support.
x360 was succesful because sony dropped the ball AND because of piracy. most of the world is not the first world where buying original games is not a problem. in places like latin america the console that wins is the one that has the cheapest games. ps1, ps2 and x360 were big because you could buy pirated copies on the streets for a few bucks while the original legal ones at the store were too expensive, like "if I buy this I won't be able to pay the rent", and that's IF you could find a store that sold original games. edit: by the way, I wouldn't support EVER a console with no phisical media. I HATE DIGITAL ONLY STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
I wouldn't actually call even big time sales in piracy-only countries a success. Sure, the devices sell well. But the main income source for a console manufacturer is games sold. And the systems themselves often cost not more than their production costs, or even less. In any case, not profitable at all, if people don't buy games either.
It's amazing how well they turned this system around. Before it's release and a couple months in, it was gearing up to be one of the worst major home consoles of all time. Now, it's actually a really good console. I personally don't own one still, but looking in from the outside, it looks pretty good now. It has virtually no exclusives, and you have to buy the updated one to get the better multi platform games, but other than that, it's competent and Microsoft deserves a shit ton of credit for turning it around.
I have both and I prefer the Xbox One X for multiplats. As an overall package however, if I could only have one, I would choose PS4 for the better user experience and exclusives.
Love my Xbox one S. It is a true replacement of my PS3 because I can do everything with it ( multimedia, etc. ). I actually use the backwards compatibility. I am very happy to being able to play games like: GTA 4, Red dead redemption
I was wondering if you were going to upload the video early because of Thanksgiving in the states. Well, you did. Enjoy your information and wealth of knowledge on the consoles that I have and haven't ever had or played.
I very much hope for the best for xbox because last gen I really loved them. The og is cool too. Never had one at the time cause ps2 existed but its a great system going back. But the xbox brand has been very heavily damaged and I just hope that they change for the next generation
MS under the leadership of Satella, Spencer, and Booty will continue to have a "comical" exclusive problem due to their insistence on releasing every one of their "exclusives" under the UWP umbrella. They have absolutely no faith that their software will be console sellers and this UWP nonsense is the band-aid to that. I disagree that this will be fixed with the Scarlett.
Microsoft needs to remember that software pushes hardware. Playstation has a lot of exclusives and look whose winning. Microsoft needs to make games that gamers want not gimmicks.
Have always been a PlayStation guy since the PS2 days... got PS3 so missed on Xbox 360... and was almost going to get PS4 way back in 2014 until they announced the Master Chief Collection on Xbox One and I was like I have to get it! It's been 4 years on my Old Xbox One and it still got it! Plays Forza Horizon 4, a game which came out like last month without any hiccups! For a system came out in 2013 to run a 2018 game... and trust my PS4 (2015 model) struggles to run most of the latest games without any flaws!
Sony sold the most consoles this gen, had some truly great exclusives, but I have to say I prefer the XBox One X over any PS4 or Pro. Game Pass, Backwards Compatibility, and better performing/looking cross platform games. Handful of great Sony exclusives or a metric ton of good games on the cheap? xBox One X with Game Pass is the best value in gaming right now, its awesome.
i bought my xbox one in 2015, mainly for halo 5 (wich wasn´t all that great). then i played fallout 4 wich was amazing and star was battlefront wich was okay. since then i haven´t turned it on once...>_> i always was a xbox guy, but the xbox one really dissapointed me. the controller still is better than the playstation controller, but everything else is worse =/
I'll be enjoying my Xbox One X & PS4 Pro for many years yet still to come. This time when the next gen consoles get released I wont be desperate to jump right on board.I still have many games to play and many more gaming memories to build with this generation of consoles!!
really fun to see the speculation about project scarlett, I pretty much only play nintendo games but I'm excited to see what microsoft and sony do next
Both mid-console upgrades are pointless. If it’s too powerful, it defeats the purpose due to the other models, if not enough power, what’s the point? Even for newcomers, it would suck to have a more powerful console just to have it bottlenecked by the other models. With the XBOX games, I say they came out with casual games like “sea of thieves” which should have been advertised differently to be on the same page.
I think a big difference with the latest announcements is S and above will be able to play X series games. I have a friend who is a production manager for MS. According to him on the back end they have been tweaking Direct X so that a game developed for X series will be able to downgrade to S or X levels. So developers only have to develop one version of the game and let the console do the downgrade. This is the only major advantage X Box has over PS4.
All digital is possible considering they're releasing a cheaper Xbox One that is. Plus it makes more sense now, considering you want to buy Xbox games digitally so you get the PC version too.
Adam you talk a LOT about exclusives. Do you really play all those exclusives on PS4? Even the obscure Japanese hentai stuff ? Cause when you look the list of most selling PS4 games there a lot of Call of duty and FIFA games. Exclusives on the other hand... Not that much.... I mean if you don't really play all/most of the exclusives why demand for it ? My friends say they love Sony exclusives but their PSN ID is full of Cod, NBA and Fortine trophies. They don't even bought Spider man besides they say is a great game
A simple thing would be to make a MLB game. I believe the exclusivity prohibits 3rd paty games not keeping Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo from making their own. Its a small thing but I do know people that went ps4 simply because of baseball. They had a good thing going with XSN but quit on it years ago. Bring it back. Cater to sports gamers. Clearly they can't make original games so sports is a way into exclusives in a different way.
It's interesting how the XB1 has very much become a regional gaming platform. It doesn't exist in Japan and only has a small fraction of the EU market. Seems to be competitive even though still behind in North America. Any idea why it is so?
There's two franchises that, if they went exclusive, I would have to buy an Xbox, very much against my will. Cyberpunk 2077 and Hitman. The latter is supposedly a possibility, since IOI isn't in the greatest of health as an independent studio and Hitman 2 sales have been low, so MS could theoretically just buy them outright. I actually expect 2019 to be really uneventful for gaming, save for PS5 and XboxTwo being announced around a year from now. This generation's winding down, but the next isn't yet ready to begin.
My prediction for Xbox Scarlett is that Microsoft releases two versions. One that plays discs, and one that is all digital. I think they will launch with Xbox One back compat, but it works like X360 does on the One. They also launch with Game Pass. I personally don't see them doing OG Xbox. Maybe 360.
Agreed. I see them making at least 2 versions as well. I fall right into Adam's fantasy to see everything Xbox under the Scarlett umbrella, just like everything Playstation on the Playstation 5.
For people who want to only do Gamepass a disc-less console actually makes sense if it saves them $50 or so on the hardware. Though I hope it doesn't spell the end of physical media.
Microsoft did make a big mistake when the xbox one was released. But I think they have turned it around. And I have the xbox one x. And love it and forza horizon 4 is great.
Regarding the Xbox brand. I've never had an Xbox console, I debated getting an xbone last year but ultimately went with a PS4. In that year, the Xbox in my mind, has become one super consumer friendly platform and if it weren't for having a backlog of games on the Sony machine I'd totally switch to Xbox
I think Microsoft has made plenty of money on accessories and video game sales so I don't think there in the red as much as you stated but they probably are in the red
It's going to be a lot harder for Microsoft to get another "360" advantage since Sony is now using off the shelf tech unlike the PS3's GPU. What Microsoft needs to focus on is dev tools that makes it so easy for devs to make or port games while still keeping backwards compatibility. Most importantly, have a bunch of exclusive games ready and say 3 "Halo" Marys before going to bed.
More a Sony Fan to be honest but recently I enjoy playing Third party games on it. The 4k upcscale feature of the One S is really a nice thing. The only problem MS has at the moment that they have not enough exclusive titles in their sleeves. I do not think that the last year of the Xbox one S will change that. But maybe the Xbox scarlett will have more exlusive titles that are not a Halo or a Gears of War.
As cool as Project Scarlett releasing next year would be, I don’t see it happening with the rumor that’s been floating around for about a week. Supposedly an all-digital $150 or cheaper Xbox One will release next year with a program that lets people trade in their discs for digital codes. If this is the case, I think Xbox is trying to get people ready for Project Scarlett having a digital focus. They could also use this console as a test to see how much people do care about physical media. Then, when the Scarlett comes out 2020, they release a digital-only version of it that is much cheaper than the PS5. If there are two versions coming out like you said, maybe they’ll also have a disc drive in the second version of the console for collectors and the used game crowd. I think they realize they need that physical media version of the Scarlett to “win” against PS5 because many people like to sell their games, and they don’t want a repeat of the Xbox One where people were very angry that they couldn’t sell their games at first.
I love you to death Adam , but dude , you need to get a better camera , im on 1080p and the whole thing looks blurry AF. RED..Please send this man one of your cameras.
good vid man! but from my experience people still choose the ps4 pro over the x not because of the power obviously but because of the exlusive catalog. all i need is xbox to have some fun exclusives. that would be a game changer for them
I bought Xbox One S on black Friday as a media player since I don't have a smart TV yet not as a gaming console. But I am disappointed my 4TB Expansion Seagate External HDD read only once and failed to read again as a media device. I have tons of movies to watch there but I can't get it to open, I should have bought an NVIDIA Shield but it didn't have a DVD player. I hope they fix this because I have no use for it.
Xbox two won't release without a great launch line up from Microsoft's new studio acquisitions and those games are still at least a year to 18 months away. I think both ps5 and Xbox will release in 2020 with Xbox being first and cheaper. I think Microsoft will absorb a loss on its new console and they can afford to where as Sony can't. One worrying rumour I heard about ps5 was a new Sony patent for a touchscreen controller which will drive up units costs considerably and could be Sony's kinect moment. Force bundling an expensive gimmick gamers neither want or desire which impacts battery life.
Sony not trying to rock the boat? They're doing the very definition of that with their new censorship policy brought about this year, ruffling a ton of feathers. I have no doubt the PS5 is gonna be dead in the water in Japan (along with japanophiles elsewhere) from this, seeing as Sony is no longer a Japanese company. Microsoft and Nintendo are very much gonna be my platforms of choice next gen, if I even end up participating in next gen.
cool xbox one talk video adam i might get the xbox one x soon at the video game store cheap if they have a limited edition would be cool to have in my video games my nintendo wii
I disagree with many things said in this video. Well, that said I play my multiplat games on PC. Needles to say that renders the Xbox One X completely useless to me.

Can't wait to see Xbox Scarlett and all the new exclusives coming from all first party studios: 1. The Coalition 2. 343 Industries 3. Turn 10 Studios 4. Playground Games 5. The Intiative 6. Rare 7. Ninja Theory 8. Obsidian Entertainment 9. InXile Entertainment 10. Compulsion Games 11. Mojang 12. Microsoft Publishing
Honestly, the moment both parties decide to bow out of the Hardware game (if ever) I hope they release, lastly, the "PlayStation" and the "Xbox". Give us access to the Stores to access our Digital Games/DLC (plus Patches of course which we'd need for PS3/360 Games Onwards) and it has FULL Backwards Compatability with all the Generations... Basically an up to date, all in one Machine as a final hoorah... Though at that point they may as well (and most likely) will just be selling these "Pre-Built Computers" which they've started to do from the PS4/X1 on 🤷♂️
5 years. 661 games. My Xbox One X, best graphics and performance, best quality online, best support and updates, best controllers. Best console I've had ever. Starting with NES.
4K BluRays and Couch Multiplayer work well on the S. I still play Singleplayer and Online Games on PC. The Xbox Controllers are cheaper than a set of joycons or the Pro Controllers. And I expect a 2nd Switch, like 3DS - new 3DS, DS-DSi, GB - GBC. Microsoft studio aquisitions have potential, but their service side has to improve on the PC side.
Just curious, wouldn’t you feel that the xbone X/PS4 pro will be pretty useless years from now when you can’t download the 4K content anymore? I know you don’t support digital for longevity reasons but this is essentially the same situation
🔮Xbox is now a streaming service for people who buy the device. All save data will be through a cloud hence the name XBOX CLOUD. It will have an adapter that allows you to read original xbox, xbox360 and xbox1 games. It also has a touch screen adapter for the device if you want to play on the go as well as wireless controllers sold separately or all together in the XBOX CLOUD BUNDLE. They will sell cloud games and rerelease updates online but from 2019 to 2025. In 2026 they will release the XBOX TABLET which is a handheld computer that has the Xbox cloud game service but will eventually lose to Sony with its superior competition and so Microsoft slowly bows out of the console world around 2040 to focus strictly on Microsoft software but will continue to sell Xbox controllers to pc gamers as the last product bearing the Xbox name. ----------- Playstation 5, launched late 2020 will be the longest lived and final era of traditional home consoles until 2030. In 2030 after the rise and fall of XBOX CLOUD, Sony enters with the PlayStation Center having a focus on streaming games and even exclusive movies and series from Sony picture studios. Then in around 2040 Sony launches the PlayStation TV that can read any PlayStation 1-5 game disc in Sony’s history and runs at 8k which becomes the standard in affordable 8k gaming TVs with classic styled wireless PlayStation controllers instead of traditional remotes as well as a Sony vr headset leaving Sony with the Sony VR and the PLAYSTATION TV as it’s final and flagship products. ----- Nintendo perfects their portable line of handhelds by offering a dock and a handheld calling it the New Switch that has an adapter sold separately that reads any game disc or cartridge in Nintendo history. Eventually the product is called the Nintendo System with an online store mainly being game focused but has standard streaming service access and an emphasis on battery life, portability, cellphone integration and augmented reality eventually becoming the sole game focused device. But with the advent of new age cellphones eyeglasses of the 2050’s Nintendo releases the affordable NINTENDO VISION only to lose against the giants of Samsung and apple eventually focusing on the gaming gloves themselves which have replaced controllers and branding them the Nintendo Gloves. They will continue to be the main source of video game creation only rivaled to the realistic graphics of Sony as the last major game studios. That was my vision. Eventually the Xbox brand becomes a retro controller for pc gamers and a game streaming app. The PlayStation brand becomes a 8k smart tv with controllers as the remote instead with a gaming app and Nintendo stays a handheld forever as a gaming glove that wirelessly connects to the eyeglass computers of the future..... 🧠 💥
Watch ReviewTechUSA and he was talking about how Valve STEAM fucked up with the Steam Machines, selling different kinds that make Casual Consumer confused. But I commented that this is what Microsoft will do with the Xbox Consoles, Microsoft will use the Xbox Consoles as Steam Machines and they will still let you buy Physical Media if you want to, Microsoft knows we already live in this Digital World and they know that the Huge Majority Owners of PS4, PS4 Pro consoles will still buy the PS5 because of their Exclusive Games, PlayStation VR Headsets and will be able to play all the PS4 games that they bought digitally and Physical Discs. This is the reason Phil Spencer in his interview was saying that they want their games to come Xbox Consoles, PC, Tablets, Smart Phones. Microsoft knows that in the Console Market SONY will dominate with the PS5 and future PlayStation Consoles. But Microsoft will never leave the Console Market and giving Gamer's option to buy a Xbox Console with or without Bluray Drive, in my opinion is smart, as long as Microsoft gives the Consumer two options, they will be OK. The way the Internet Services here the United States is, it is a fucking JOKE, a lot and I mean a lot of places here in the United States, companies do not provide Unlimited High Speed Internet Services. My Prediction is it will take around 100 years for the United States to have Unlimited High Speed Internet Services everywhere, just because how Politics is here and also there is a Huge Majority that don't really care about Unlimited High Speed Internet Services. Hopefully in 15 years when I pay my Mortgage, I will run here in the State of Washington of USA and try to get any person who is Liberal, Conservative, Independent to back me up and try to explain Voters why they should vote for me and why it is important Unlimited High Speed Internet Services to be everywhere. Can't do nothing now, which just sucks.
In regards to backwards compatibility, that is pretty much my sole reason for buying an Xbox One. Everything else they have to offer I can get, and get better performance from, the PC versions - and with my PS4 I can get pretty much all the same multiplats that aren't on PC, but also tons of Japanese games which Microsoft simply doesn't have. The one thing that's lacking from a PC/PS4 combo - is 360 and Xbox Original emulation. Xenia is coming along, but it'll be a while before it's anywhere close to comparable with what MS has to offer - and original Xbox Emulation? Even the Xbox One's anemic support is better than what's available to emulate. So, with my 360 Elite on it's last legs - getting an Xbox One S was an easy decision to make. Granted, I've been playing a bit more Xbox One games for it as of late - mostly because of the free months of GamePass and Xbox Live I want to make the most out of since I don't plan to renew them. My first game purchase for it was... well it was Sunset Overdrive, but the second one was Ninja Gaiden Black because fuck me - I only had Ninja Gaiden's first release for the Xbox One and that's not BC. And the third purchase will be Conker Live and Reloaded. I have a LOT of Xbox Original games I'd like them to make BC. Even if I were the kind of person who didn't go back and play classic games (and I am, my Steam Library is chock full of mostly classic games that I play quite often - not to mention my PSVita with over 100GB of roms and psp/psx eboots) - I'd still want that backwards compatibility because hardware is fragile and only getting rarer as time and use slowly erodes the original hardware. To say nothing of the utility of condensing 30 years worth of hardware into a single HDMI port. I may not play old games all of the time - but when I do want to play one, I want that capability to do so to be there. Going forward, with consoles pretty much settling on x86 standards - making them more PC like than ever and digital libraries replacing physical collections, backwards compatibility is going to be non-negotiable. Thankfully, forward compatibility pretty much guarantees that now you only have to write a single emulator core to act as a wrapper, tweak the emulation for each individual game - and then port that emulator forward to the next generation hardware. No more writing unique emulation solutions for each new generation of unique hardware - or having to include previous generation hardware in the box for native playback. Xbox One's BC should be almost as easy to run on Xbox Next - as PCSX2 is to run on a Windows 10 PC. Sony would be smart to start working on a BC solution for PSP/PS3 and previous generations of games now, so they can hit the ground running next gen and build a base they can carry forward in perpetuity.
Sir I’ve been watching your videos for years. I discovered your videos why searching for Sega videos (I’m a Sega Fanboy) like your self. I have the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro and the Switch. I play the Xbox One X most and the PS4 Pro for exclusive games and Switch for Zelda/Mario games. I always enjoy hearing your input so I have a question for you. I assume your aware of the new Intellivision and SNK console. I have to say it’s a shocker but do you believe there is ever a chance of Sega releasing a new console? Second question is do you believe Sony will release the PS5 at $400 or realistically closer to $500 considering the new Xbox is supposed to be more powerful. Thanks and love your videos.
Damn, the "Universal Disc Reader" would be HUGE for the Next-Gen Xbox. O_O I mean, they've got the emulation software which they invested thousands if not millions of dollars into, why just let it stay on the old hardware? And I'm sure they're gonna make its architecture be similar to that of the Xbox One X, for easy porting. And the developers who want to continue selling their old titles digitally get the option do so, just like on the Xbox One consoles. It'd be a win-win. ^^
I posted a comment here yesterday, but it seems to have disappeared. Glitch or censorship, who knows. Anyway, I believe that Microsoft would aggravate a lot of Xbox One X owners if their new console was already obsolete by 2020. There are rumours of an all digital machine and that might well be the case, but if so, the Xbox One X might serve as a sort of 'template' for that machine, in whatever shape or form, and possibly even in its current form. It's powerful enough since it surpasses all of the machines of the current generation in terms of power ; what's more, I believe that they're only getting to grips with the 'X' and have only scratched the surface of what it can really do. Speculation, of course, but I know that I would be pretty pissed off if the $500 console I bought a couple of months ago will be replaced by something else in less than two years... That being said, I have a PS4 Pro, and I love the games on it, but the Xbox One, the whole 'eco system' that surrounds it, has something really appealing. Microsoft obviously care about their customers and it shows in what they've been doing for the last two years. The XBox One S and X are both better consoles than Sony's offerings in terms of build quality, and this is backed by a rock solid XBox Live network. If only they had some more exclusive games, they would be unbeatable, even without some zany Japanese exclusive PS4 titles. Personally, I think Microsoft has some big surprises in store for us @E3 2019. Don't take my word for it, I'm just a guy who watches TH-cam, after all, but I believe that the Xbox One X might have a few more tricks up its sleeve...
The Xbox returned to be the Xbox. Like it was in the past against the PS2 the most performing hardware for multiplatform games, it is the same now. The problem is that the exclusive titles, aka "the games", are way more important than the hardware capability of a console. Not only those three exclusive are not so great, but also there are some wonderful games on PC and PS4 that I could not play on Xbox, I am thinking of DQ11, Ni no Kuni 2, Persona 5, Yakuza games.. for a JRPG fanatic there is still much left to desire on the Microsoft console.
I think an xbox that could read 360 and OG xbox games will never happen for 1 reason; no xbox one x enhancements. Especially with FF13’s replaced CGI cutscenes. There’s also the possibility that title updates wouldn’t be available since that would require separate support.
I own an Xbox one. It is the first console I have ever owned that I regret buying (NES, SNES, Genesis, PS 1 2 3). There are no exclusives that I am even remotely excited about. Scalebound was a finished AAA exclusive game and it got canceled. I am buying PS 4 after waiting for 3 years for a good exclusive. I am done with Microsoft and their crappy xbox. I am going back to PlayStation and staying there. If Microsoft wants me to even give a shit anymore they need to finish scalebound and release it for free on Xbox gold and say sorry to the fans for lying to them.
I don't think Xbox One is a good console if you like physical games. There's literally no way to create an offline profile so once they drop xbl connection, all disc based games will be worthless and unplayable.... unless xbox 2 has backward compatability. Also achievements won't pop unless you're online.... I feel that since the 360, Microsoft have forgotten how to make a versatile console. It's pathetic.
I have watched your Xbox videos for quite a while. In the end I caved in and bought and xb1 s. I don't have a 4k tv so I didn't think the x was worth the investment at the mo. I wasn't actually going to bother with this generation but Shenmue 3 on ps4.. Kinda had to get one. Actually your views on the xb1 changed my mind. I had bought the past 2 Xbox's without question. I love those consoles. But then all that DRM stuff just turned me off. I actually use the xb1 for exclusives and Game Pass. Not a big fan of digital gaming but the idea of actually using it to try out these games before purchasing them for a small fee is actually really good value. I can play some of my og xbox and 360 games on it as well. It got me hyped. I've actually really enjoyed the ps4 which is my fave of this gen but if Phil Spencer keeps up what he is doing with the next xbox, I may consider getting it earlier in it's lifespan than I did this one.
The Xbox One X is a very impressive game console. Its not just that its the most powerful console ever made this far its also the design of the actual architecture is brilliant and the SOC ' system on a Chip" is a work of art. I have a PS4 Pro and Xbox One X and I like the PS4 Pro but to be honest every game from Shadow of the Tomb Raider to COD Black Ops 4 and Battlefield 5 look and play far superior on the Xbox One X.
I really appreciate backwards compatibility from a budget perspective. The only new game I’ve bought this year as of now is Dragon Ball Fighterz, but I bought Crimson Skys, Oblivion and a couple other games for the same price or less than one new game. I play on a One S.
At my local Best buy, the worker man was telling me PS4 and Xbox one are #1 and 2 and Nintendo Switch is last. The worker guy told me that on black Friday they sold more PS4 and Xbox one. The only switch that was sold was the Mario kart version.
Push back. Been two since i saw your vid and i finally got around to saying: on your Sony vid too claimed xb was failing that is exaggeration. Sure sales are maybe twice less than p4 and MS hides sale numbers, except for x1x, which sold well. I refuse to call MS sales a total failure...albeit probably lost money on the One. Nor is it affirmed og bc is not returning - I bet on a third wave.
The Xbox division is very valuable for Microsoft in many different ways. Numbers dont tell the whole story. They dont actually even have to "beat" PlayStation necessarily, that only matters to kids on internet forums. Microsoft without the Xbox division would be a much more boring company and very disconnected from the everyday consumer. I think numbers wise they have "lost" every generation including the 360 generation and probably never turned a profit as a business division but it does not matter. Xbox isnt going anywhere.
Dude if i can play a game one xbox one why bother with 360. Just in my experience bayonetta 360 version plays best on xbox one. Coming from a guy who has it on ps3 and switch aswell. I don't own a ps1 as a game collector because the ps3 is the best ps1 and i play gc games on the wii to save space. Shit i play wii games on the wii u. I use the shit out of backwards compatibility. I'm I really the only using it more often then getting new games? Sucks if i am, you guys are missing out. Coming from a playstation guy btw.
I have been using the heck out of my X's backwards compatibility lately. It got to the point that I wanted to replay Quake 4 with the assumption of locked 60FPS and maybe more only to see it's not on the list... I keep just expecting to be able to play everything and really wish it was that easy. So at least for me I feel like it's a big plus to the Xbox brand.
If I had one choice between the base PS4 and Xbox One X, I would still go with the base PS4. It offers the gaming experiences that I'm looking for just as the PS2 did over the original Xbox. In the end it's about the games that you're looking for not the power of the console.
Adam off topic here - since 2 months i am unable to get 360 gwg from the 1x only by a workplace pc and it says my download queue is full. Alas the webpage of 360 queues is no more. Any ideas?
I think that if they wanted to beat Sony to the PS5, they shouldn't have brought the Xbox One X last year. If you come up with a new console next year, you are basically giving Xbox One X just 2 years, that would be an insult to the people that bought it. They would be doing a kind of Sega 32X thing, even if it's forwards and backwards compatible I think we are still not ready for a new console every 2 years. On the other hand, Sony can do it because PS4 Pro will have been out 3 years in the market by that time. I agree Microsoft is doing great things, but somehow can't just get it fully together since the red ring of death. Again, they are in a position to lose on the next generation. I think this time they need to come late, but a lot better than their competition somehow.
I feel that since the Xbox 360, Microsoft have forgotten how to make a versatile console. Without an internet connection you can't even create a profile or earn achievements. Both of which prolong the consoles lifespan long after they've shut down the servers. Since there's no profile creation after shutdown, the games playable life would in my opinion be limited. I think physical copies would then only be playable for existing xbox users thus making them all worthless.
I love how Adam can talk for 26 minutes with such passion that it doesn't get boring. Some other youtubers waffle on for 10 minutes and repeat themselves too much. Keep up the great work Adam! I love all of your videos and podcasts.
agreed, no one even comes close honestly
So true. He really captures the history of gaming in a way that’s unique and interesting.
Matthew Beard he’s the reason I do story videos like that lol
He's the first gaming TH-cam guy I started following. I'm the same age and find I have alot in common , all reasons he's still my favorite TH-camr. Awesome to see all the success he's had. Only gripe is he never got a new camera lol
Yea its interesting to see what he has to say. Hope he keeps this series up.
First person to talk positively about Xbox without sounding like a damage controlling fan boy
Millionth person to seem like a fair opinion, but still manages to widely demoralize Xbox fans in general.
I’ve been playing OG Xbox games on the 360 and it’s a glitchy mess, OG Xbox and 360 work perfectly on the Xbox one systems 😍an Xbox one x is on my shopping list
Not a glitch you mess if you've got the extra files you need. Hope this clears things up
I got the Project Scorpio Edition of the Xbox One X and I gotta say, Adam is totally correct all my old games that are backwards compatible look and run way better than ever before! And all the multiplats look the best on here on my 75 inch 4K TV! Love it! I've ALWAYS supported Xbox since the beginning! I don't care that PS4 is winning and Xbox is losing because I never got a PS4 even though I have the other consoles predecessors. I like that Xbox is trying to get all these niche groups by rolling out all these different features that Playstation isn't even caring about! Thanks for another great video Adam, keep up the great work, and BTW it was great to meet you this past E3 in LA!!!
Phil Dawson what’s the extra files do you need to mod to do it?
@@TheArtOfTechSupport how is it a glitchy mess?
@TheLegendkiller2100 yeah jtag or reset glitch. Reset glitch is easy to do. Opens up a whole new world. Can even play ps1 games
The great thing MS has done is the backwards compatibility program. And now they are doing it with the OG Xbox games as well. Because it's X86 architecture, the Xbox Scarlet will more than likely have all these games from 3 generations of hardware instantly backwards compatible on that new system as well. And by that time the game library will be huge!
Instant library of OVER 4000 GAMES!!! YEAH, I looked on Wikipedia and I didn't even include the XBLA games.
would be great as Adam wants to have the og and 360 discs readable!
Yeah, I think MS know that backwards compatibility is important for gamers and each generation has hundreds, sometimes thousands of games that many people miss out on. A lot of these gamers have since sold their old consoles to get the new ones. To be able to continue to play those legacy games on current gen hardware is a big positive. Not only that, MS has gone the extra mile and have increased the performance on a lot of the titles.
I agree wholeheartedly. Games like Bayonetta denied to me I got to play on x1. Oh 1980 is my year too!@@NiGHTS1980
Backwards compatibility is useful to some but personally I feel like I've played all those games if I wanted to play them again it would have to be a current gen remaster I get that some people like it and has its uses I just don't see it as a huge selling point
Have to admit, I've held off on Red Dead 2 purely because I'm gunning for a 4k tv and a Xbox 1 X on Black Friday and want to play it in 4k on a bigger screen. This is from a die hard PlayStation guy who loves his ps4 and who's first ever console was the ps1. I just can't justify the ps4 Pro, it doesn't do enough over the OG ps4. It's a slightly sharper picture, and that's about it. Playstation took a step forward but Xbox took a leap, probably because they had to
I bought the PS4 first this generation then I got a xb1 about a year later, now a all these years later I can say the PS4 was by far the better for me
Xbox UI is windows based and still doesn't run great and is much more complex then the PS4's UI the Dualshock 4 is the best controller I've ever used has the best d-pad and front bumpers ever and doesn't have AA batteries nonsense
Xbox's largest problem though is it now shares all it's exclusives with Windows PC's, I bought it for it's exclusives Halo,Gears, and Forza bought a launch model xb1 then a couple months later they announced the S,X and sharing games with PC's at E3 2016......real bummer and most of Microsoft's IP this generation have been subpar especially compared to what PlayStation has been offering
Overall the Xbox is a decent console they really turned it around quite a bit, just when it's compared to its main competition it looks really lacking let's hope they can make it competitive again next-gen
Marc Lebenic had to laug when I read it
Microsoft making the decision to bring Xbox games over to PC was a big decision and it's good because they had the consumer in mind. They knew that it would make Xbox more inferior because now it won't have any true exclusives, but they did it mainly because they want to improve the overall public and consumer view of the Xbox brand itself. They even brought Halo to PC, Halo practically made the Xbox brand, that was a big move by Microsoft and it really shows what their intentions are.
The Xbox One X is an excellent console but it's problem as has always been the case with Microsoft is exclusives. If you have a gaming PC or even if you don't, there's just not a reason to own both a PS4 or an Xbox unless you really care about Gears or Halo. I look at my PS4 collection and I have 20+ excellent exclusive titles that I can't play anywhere else. I look at my Xbox and I have...none.
I try to get multi-plats on Xbox and exclusives on PS4 just to give it a purpose other than being a 4K UHD player. Still, I wish Microsoft would invest in some serious exclusives as Sony is destroying them in that department. Hardware wise, they've nailed it.
Backwards Compatibility is great tho.
the thing is though Microsoft is not just Xbox they are also Windows and People have been going after them for years for not backing pc for real
but in the 360 days some games never came to pc gears 2 and beyond halo 2 and beyond fable 2 and so on never came to pc i have to disagree With another thing you said as well even if you do not own a pc there is no reasont to get an Xbox one there you totally do i feel because then you got loads of stuff not found on the other consoles and With ps now from sony is getting the abillity to download games some ps4 i might add its getting kinda Muddy on both sides
It's a shame because this wasn't always the case. The Original Xbox & Xbox 360 (during the first few years) had plenty of neat exclusives.
They really should've stuck to their OG Xbox strategy. Aka just invest in proper exclusives.
One thing that would really help is if they made EVERY Xbox game that you buy compatible with both PC and the Xbox One. Games like Assassin's Creed, I have to pick and choose if I want to play them on PC or console. I almost always default to PC because I can get better performance. If I can buy the game on Xbox and get to play it on both PC or the console itself, that eliminates that problem and almost makes Microsoft a valid competitor to Steam.
I think it's important to point out that while an Xbox One isn't necessary to play Microsoft's games, it is still a valid option particularly for those who prefer the console ecosystem. The idea here is that Microsoft is giving options. And while exclusives are important for PS4 and Switch, I think Microsoft only needs console exclusives because the Windows player base is entirely too big to ignore. Sony and Nintendo (other than the aging 3ds) don't have a secondary platform that they need to support.
Great content as usual. I really like how you break your videos down. Other youtubers could learn a thing or two from you sir.
x360 was succesful because sony dropped the ball AND because of piracy.
most of the world is not the first world where buying original games is not a problem. in places like latin america the console that wins is the one that has the cheapest games.
ps1, ps2 and x360 were big because you could buy pirated copies on the streets for a few bucks while the original legal ones at the store were too expensive, like "if I buy this I won't be able to pay the rent", and that's IF you could find a store that sold original games.
edit: by the way, I wouldn't support EVER a console with no phisical media. I HATE DIGITAL ONLY STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
looks that this gen the switch gonna be the piracy choice
I wouldn't actually call even big time sales in piracy-only countries a success. Sure, the devices sell well. But the main income source for a console manufacturer is games sold. And the systems themselves often cost not more than their production costs, or even less. In any case, not profitable at all, if people don't buy games either.
It's amazing how well they turned this system around. Before it's release and a couple months in, it was gearing up to be one of the worst major home consoles of all time. Now, it's actually a really good console. I personally don't own one still, but looking in from the outside, it looks pretty good now. It has virtually no exclusives, and you have to buy the updated one to get the better multi platform games, but other than that, it's competent and Microsoft deserves a shit ton of credit for turning it around.
5 years ago I got the Xbox One man it feels like yesterday.
I have both and I prefer the Xbox One X for multiplats. As an overall package however, if I could only have one, I would choose PS4 for the better user experience and exclusives.
Xbox 360 games in 4K 😍
Love my Xbox one S. It is a true replacement of my PS3 because I can do everything with it ( multimedia, etc. ). I actually use the backwards compatibility. I am very happy to being able to play games like: GTA 4, Red dead redemption
🙂 good games, i have them on my ps3, i have a 360 tho as well but i dont see a need to buy duplicate games ☺️📀📀📀
I was wondering if you were going to upload the video early because of Thanksgiving in the states. Well, you did. Enjoy your information and wealth of knowledge on the consoles that I have and haven't ever had or played.
Wow. Never been to an Adam video about a console anniversary this early before!
Me either! I clicked right away!
Same
I very much hope for the best for xbox because last gen I really loved them. The og is cool too. Never had one at the time cause ps2 existed but its a great system going back. But the xbox brand has been very heavily damaged and I just hope that they change for the next generation
Αδαμ your camera is too blur for 1080p
Thanks for telling me.
MS under the leadership of Satella, Spencer, and Booty will continue to have a "comical" exclusive problem due to their insistence on releasing every one of their "exclusives" under the UWP umbrella. They have absolutely no faith that their software will be console sellers and this UWP nonsense is the band-aid to that. I disagree that this will be fixed with the Scarlett.
Microsoft needs to remember that software pushes hardware. Playstation has a lot of exclusives and look whose winning. Microsoft needs to make games that gamers want not gimmicks.
Have always been a PlayStation guy since the PS2 days... got PS3 so missed on Xbox 360... and was almost going to get PS4 way back in 2014 until they announced the Master Chief Collection on Xbox One and I was like I have to get it! It's been 4 years on my Old Xbox One and it still got it! Plays Forza Horizon 4, a game which came out like last month without any hiccups! For a system came out in 2013 to run a 2018 game... and trust my PS4 (2015 model) struggles to run most of the latest games without any flaws!
Great video Adam. I hope xbox has better exclusives next gen maybe a new good IP. Still sucks that we haven't gotten a physical copy of Cuphead.
Sony sold the most consoles this gen, had some truly great exclusives, but I have to say I prefer the XBox One X over any PS4 or Pro. Game Pass, Backwards Compatibility, and better performing/looking cross platform games. Handful of great Sony exclusives or a metric ton of good games on the cheap? xBox One X with Game Pass is the best value in gaming right now, its awesome.
i bought my xbox one in 2015, mainly for halo 5 (wich wasn´t all that great). then i played fallout 4 wich was amazing and star was battlefront wich was okay. since then i haven´t turned it on once...>_> i always was a xbox guy, but the xbox one really dissapointed me. the controller still is better than the playstation controller, but everything else is worse =/
I'll be enjoying my Xbox One X & PS4 Pro for many years yet still to come. This time when the next gen consoles get released I wont be desperate to jump right on board.I still have many games to play and many more gaming memories to build with this generation of consoles!!
really fun to see the speculation about project scarlett, I pretty much only play nintendo games but I'm excited to see what microsoft and sony do next
Both mid-console upgrades are pointless. If it’s too powerful, it defeats the purpose due to the other models, if not enough power, what’s the point? Even for newcomers, it would suck to have a more powerful console just to have it bottlenecked by the other models.
With the XBOX games, I say they came out with casual games like “sea of thieves” which should have been advertised differently to be on the same page.
I think a big difference with the latest announcements is S and above will be able to play X series games. I have a friend who is a production manager for MS. According to him on the back end they have been tweaking Direct X so that a game developed for X series will be able to downgrade to S or X levels. So developers only have to develop one version of the game and let the console do the downgrade. This is the only major advantage X Box has over PS4.
All digital is possible considering they're releasing a cheaper Xbox One that is. Plus it makes more sense now, considering you want to buy Xbox games digitally so you get the PC version too.
Adam you talk a LOT about exclusives. Do you really play all those exclusives on PS4? Even the obscure Japanese hentai stuff ? Cause when you look the list of most selling PS4 games there a lot of Call of duty and FIFA games. Exclusives on the other hand... Not that much.... I mean if you don't really play all/most of the exclusives why demand for it ? My friends say they love Sony exclusives but their PSN ID is full of Cod, NBA and Fortine trophies. They don't even bought Spider man besides they say is a great game
Interesting point.
A simple thing would be to make a MLB game. I believe the exclusivity prohibits 3rd paty games not keeping Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo from making their own. Its a small thing but I do know people that went ps4 simply because of baseball. They had a good thing going with XSN but quit on it years ago. Bring it back. Cater to sports gamers. Clearly they can't make original games so sports is a way into exclusives in a different way.
It's interesting how the XB1 has very much become a regional gaming platform. It doesn't exist in Japan and only has a small fraction of the EU market. Seems to be competitive even though still behind in North America. Any idea why it is so?
Japan is always like that, Europe is hit or miss.
I bought my Xbox one X a couple of months ago, and since then my PS4 and Switch has been collecting dust! lol!
I still have the fat xbox one but in white color. I don't know if I will get another xbox cause I might be moving over to pc gaming.
I am strongly considering getting an X this xmas
I've thought about it but what's stopping me is Xbox Scarlett will be announced soon and developers not taking full advantage of the X.
I'd say go for it. I use the original xbox one right now and have been wanting to upgrade soon but I plan on moving to pc.
It's $399 on Amazon the last I checked, which was earlier today.
Ioannis Stf yep, I agree with you. I switched to pc 3 years ago and i stopped playing games as a whole due to the headaches.
Best xbox exclusives are forza and cuphead im sorry halo fans halo 5 is shit
There's two franchises that, if they went exclusive, I would have to buy an Xbox, very much against my will. Cyberpunk 2077 and Hitman. The latter is supposedly a possibility, since IOI isn't in the greatest of health as an independent studio and Hitman 2 sales have been low, so MS could theoretically just buy them outright.
I actually expect 2019 to be really uneventful for gaming, save for PS5 and XboxTwo being announced around a year from now. This generation's winding down, but the next isn't yet ready to begin.
I hope Xbox has a good showing next year and a lot of Japanese games, since Sony wants to censor them now.
I love xbox over playstation
My prediction for Xbox Scarlett is that Microsoft releases two versions. One that plays discs, and one that is all digital. I think they will launch with Xbox One back compat, but it works like X360 does on the One. They also launch with Game Pass. I personally don't see them doing OG Xbox. Maybe 360.
Agreed. I see them making at least 2 versions as well. I fall right into Adam's fantasy to see everything Xbox under the Scarlett umbrella, just like everything Playstation on the Playstation 5.
For people who want to only do Gamepass a disc-less console actually makes sense if it saves them $50 or so on the hardware. Though I hope it doesn't spell the end of physical media.
Maybe even Judy a diskless one version that can stream the new games for their renting system.
Microsoft did make a big mistake when the xbox one was released. But I think they have turned it around. And I have the xbox one x. And love it and forza horizon 4 is great.
Regarding the Xbox brand. I've never had an Xbox console, I debated getting an xbone last year but ultimately went with a PS4. In that year, the Xbox in my mind, has become one super consumer friendly platform and if it weren't for having a backlog of games on the Sony machine I'd totally switch to Xbox
I Own the ps4 pro and the x. At the moment my ps4 is a dust collector. Imo the xbox Is the better multimedia device and Games look better aswell.
I think Microsoft has made plenty of money on accessories and video game sales so I don't think there in the red as much as you stated but they probably are in the red
Keep up the awesome console recap vids! I don't watch alot of your other vids but I will always watch these. Thanks!
I got the Xbox one x
It's going to be a lot harder for Microsoft to get another "360" advantage since Sony is now using off the shelf tech unlike the PS3's GPU. What Microsoft needs to focus on is dev tools that makes it so easy for devs to make or port games while still keeping backwards compatibility. Most importantly, have a bunch of exclusive games ready and say 3 "Halo" Marys before going to bed.
5 years just wow! I loved these videos back in the day and I remember watching the first couple of anniversaries a few years back and here I am.
More a Sony Fan to be honest but recently I enjoy playing Third party games on it. The 4k upcscale feature of the One S is really a nice thing. The only problem MS has at the moment that they have not enough exclusive titles in their sleeves. I do not think that the last year of the Xbox one S will change that. But maybe the Xbox scarlett will have more exlusive titles that are not a Halo or a Gears of War.
As cool as Project Scarlett releasing next year would be, I don’t see it happening with the rumor that’s been floating around for about a week. Supposedly an all-digital $150 or cheaper Xbox One will release next year with a program that lets people trade in their discs for digital codes. If this is the case, I think Xbox is trying to get people ready for Project Scarlett having a digital focus. They could also use this console as a test to see how much people do care about physical media. Then, when the Scarlett comes out 2020, they release a digital-only version of it that is much cheaper than the PS5. If there are two versions coming out like you said, maybe they’ll also have a disc drive in the second version of the console for collectors and the used game crowd. I think they realize they need that physical media version of the Scarlett to “win” against PS5 because many people like to sell their games, and they don’t want a repeat of the Xbox One where people were very angry that they couldn’t sell their games at first.
That's true. I like backwards compatibility, but I never really use the XBone's. I AM looking forward to Gears 5, and Battle Toads next year though.
I love you to death Adam , but dude , you need to get a better camera , im on 1080p and the whole thing looks blurry AF. RED..Please send this man one of your cameras.
good vid man! but from my experience people still choose the ps4 pro over the x not because of the power obviously but because of the exlusive catalog. all i need is xbox to have some fun exclusives. that would be a game changer for them
I bought Xbox One S on black Friday as a media player since I don't have a smart TV yet not as a gaming console. But I am disappointed my 4TB Expansion Seagate External HDD read only once and failed to read again as a media device. I have tons of movies to watch there but I can't get it to open, I should have bought an NVIDIA Shield but it didn't have a DVD player. I hope they fix this because I have no use for it.
Xbox two won't release without a great launch line up from Microsoft's new studio acquisitions and those games are still at least a year to 18 months away. I think both ps5 and Xbox will release in 2020 with Xbox being first and cheaper. I think Microsoft will absorb a loss on its new console and they can afford to where as Sony can't.
One worrying rumour I heard about ps5 was a new Sony patent for a touchscreen controller which will drive up units costs considerably and could be Sony's kinect moment. Force bundling an expensive gimmick gamers neither want or desire which impacts battery life.
Great video man! Youve earned a sub from me:)
i have not turn on the ps4 pro since i got the x
Great video. Go treat yourself to a Xbox one X this black Friday ;)
Adam, bae! I just commented about waiting for a video with the Ashanti comment and then you posted a video.
Next year for Microsoft and Sony is going to be very interesting!
Especially for Microsoft.
i use my ps4 pro way more. don't like the xbox interface.only have it for backwards compatibility
I actually got an Xbox basically just for the UHD blu-ray player. Probably would have bought a PS4 instead if it had one.
Sony not trying to rock the boat? They're doing the very definition of that with their new censorship policy brought about this year, ruffling a ton of feathers. I have no doubt the PS5 is gonna be dead in the water in Japan (along with japanophiles elsewhere) from this, seeing as Sony is no longer a Japanese company. Microsoft and Nintendo are very much gonna be my platforms of choice next gen, if I even end up participating in next gen.
I dont play backwards compatible games at all on my Xbox 1. ....... I play them how they should be played on my OG Xbox :)
great console but the ps4 has been my toy because of the amazing exclusives on it. even just for bloodborne the ps4 is worth it.
cool xbox one talk video adam i might get the xbox one x soon at the video game store cheap if they have a limited edition would be cool to have in my video games my nintendo wii
I disagree with many things said in this video. Well, that said I play my multiplat games on PC. Needles to say that renders the Xbox One X completely useless to me.
I sold my One S as the slow game installs put me off it. Very happy with my PS4 & PS3.

I hope Microsoft pushes for better pc support. Just having an Xbox os would be cool
Honestly, the moment both parties decide to bow out of the Hardware game (if ever) I hope they release, lastly, the "PlayStation" and the "Xbox". Give us access to the Stores to access our Digital Games/DLC (plus Patches of course which we'd need for PS3/360 Games Onwards) and it has FULL Backwards Compatability with all the Generations... Basically an up to date, all in one Machine as a final hoorah... Though at that point they may as well (and most likely) will just be selling these "Pre-Built Computers" which they've started to do from the PS4/X1 on 🤷♂️
5 years.
661 games.
My Xbox One X, best graphics and performance, best quality online, best support and updates, best controllers.
Best console I've had ever.
Starting with NES.
4K BluRays and Couch Multiplayer work well on the S. I still play Singleplayer and Online Games on PC. The Xbox Controllers are cheaper than a set of joycons or the Pro Controllers. And I expect a 2nd Switch, like 3DS - new 3DS, DS-DSi, GB - GBC. Microsoft studio aquisitions have potential, but their service side has to improve on the PC side.
Just curious, wouldn’t you feel that the xbone X/PS4 pro will be pretty useless years from now when you can’t download the 4K content anymore? I know you don’t support digital for longevity reasons but this is essentially the same situation
But they run better in most games even without and faster load times
🔮Xbox is now a streaming service for people who buy the device. All save data will be through a cloud hence the name XBOX CLOUD. It will have an adapter that allows you to read original xbox, xbox360 and xbox1 games. It also has a touch screen adapter for the device if you want to play on the go as well as wireless controllers sold separately or all together in the XBOX CLOUD BUNDLE. They will sell cloud games and rerelease updates online but from 2019 to 2025. In 2026 they will release the XBOX TABLET which is a handheld computer that has the Xbox cloud game service but will eventually lose to Sony with its superior competition and so Microsoft slowly bows out of the console world around 2040 to focus strictly on Microsoft software but will continue to sell Xbox controllers to pc gamers as the last product bearing the Xbox name.
-----------
Playstation 5, launched late 2020 will be the longest lived and final era of traditional home consoles until 2030. In 2030 after the rise and fall of XBOX CLOUD, Sony enters with the PlayStation Center having a focus on streaming games and even exclusive movies and series from Sony picture studios. Then in around 2040 Sony launches the PlayStation TV that can read any PlayStation 1-5 game disc in Sony’s history and runs at 8k which becomes the standard in affordable 8k gaming TVs with classic styled wireless PlayStation controllers instead of traditional remotes as well as a Sony vr headset leaving Sony with the Sony VR and the PLAYSTATION TV as it’s final and flagship products.
-----
Nintendo perfects their portable line of handhelds by offering a dock and a handheld calling it the New Switch that has an adapter sold separately that reads any game disc or cartridge in Nintendo history. Eventually the product is called the Nintendo System with an online store mainly being game focused but has standard streaming service access and an emphasis on battery life, portability, cellphone integration and augmented reality eventually becoming the sole game focused device. But with the advent of new age cellphones eyeglasses of the 2050’s Nintendo releases the affordable NINTENDO VISION only to lose against the giants of Samsung and apple eventually focusing on the gaming gloves themselves which have replaced controllers and branding them the Nintendo Gloves. They will continue to be the main source of video game creation only rivaled to the realistic graphics of Sony as the last major game studios.
That was my vision.
Eventually the Xbox brand becomes a retro controller for pc gamers and a game streaming app. The PlayStation brand becomes a 8k smart tv with controllers as the remote instead with a gaming app and Nintendo stays a handheld forever as a gaming glove that wirelessly connects to the eyeglass computers of the future..... 🧠 💥
Watch ReviewTechUSA and he was talking about how Valve STEAM fucked up with the Steam Machines, selling different kinds that make Casual Consumer confused. But I commented that this is what Microsoft will do with the Xbox Consoles, Microsoft will use the Xbox Consoles as Steam Machines and they will still let you buy Physical Media if you want to, Microsoft knows we already live in this Digital World and they know that the Huge Majority Owners of PS4, PS4 Pro consoles will still buy the PS5 because of their Exclusive Games, PlayStation VR Headsets and will be able to play all the PS4 games that they bought digitally and Physical Discs. This is the reason Phil Spencer in his interview was saying that they want their games to come Xbox Consoles, PC, Tablets, Smart Phones. Microsoft knows that in the Console Market SONY will dominate with the PS5 and future PlayStation Consoles. But Microsoft will never leave the Console Market and giving Gamer's option to buy a Xbox Console with or without Bluray Drive, in my opinion is smart, as long as Microsoft gives the Consumer two options, they will be OK. The way the Internet Services here the United States is, it is a fucking JOKE, a lot and I mean a lot of places here in the United States, companies do not provide Unlimited High Speed Internet Services. My Prediction is it will take around 100 years for the United States to have Unlimited High Speed Internet Services everywhere, just because how Politics is here and also there is a Huge Majority that don't really care about Unlimited High Speed Internet Services. Hopefully in 15 years when I pay my Mortgage, I will run here in the State of Washington of USA and try to get any person who is Liberal, Conservative, Independent to back me up and try to explain Voters why they should vote for me and why it is important Unlimited High Speed Internet Services to be everywhere. Can't do nothing now, which just sucks.
In regards to backwards compatibility, that is pretty much my sole reason for buying an Xbox One. Everything else they have to offer I can get, and get better performance from, the PC versions - and with my PS4 I can get pretty much all the same multiplats that aren't on PC, but also tons of Japanese games which Microsoft simply doesn't have. The one thing that's lacking from a PC/PS4 combo - is 360 and Xbox Original emulation. Xenia is coming along, but it'll be a while before it's anywhere close to comparable with what MS has to offer - and original Xbox Emulation? Even the Xbox One's anemic support is better than what's available to emulate. So, with my 360 Elite on it's last legs - getting an Xbox One S was an easy decision to make.
Granted, I've been playing a bit more Xbox One games for it as of late - mostly because of the free months of GamePass and Xbox Live I want to make the most out of since I don't plan to renew them. My first game purchase for it was... well it was Sunset Overdrive, but the second one was Ninja Gaiden Black because fuck me - I only had Ninja Gaiden's first release for the Xbox One and that's not BC. And the third purchase will be Conker Live and Reloaded. I have a LOT of Xbox Original games I'd like them to make BC.
Even if I were the kind of person who didn't go back and play classic games (and I am, my Steam Library is chock full of mostly classic games that I play quite often - not to mention my PSVita with over 100GB of roms and psp/psx eboots) - I'd still want that backwards compatibility because hardware is fragile and only getting rarer as time and use slowly erodes the original hardware. To say nothing of the utility of condensing 30 years worth of hardware into a single HDMI port. I may not play old games all of the time - but when I do want to play one, I want that capability to do so to be there. Going forward, with consoles pretty much settling on x86 standards - making them more PC like than ever and digital libraries replacing physical collections, backwards compatibility is going to be non-negotiable. Thankfully, forward compatibility pretty much guarantees that now you only have to write a single emulator core to act as a wrapper, tweak the emulation for each individual game - and then port that emulator forward to the next generation hardware. No more writing unique emulation solutions for each new generation of unique hardware - or having to include previous generation hardware in the box for native playback. Xbox One's BC should be almost as easy to run on Xbox Next - as PCSX2 is to run on a Windows 10 PC. Sony would be smart to start working on a BC solution for PSP/PS3 and previous generations of games now, so they can hit the ground running next gen and build a base they can carry forward in perpetuity.
Sir I’ve been watching your videos for years. I discovered your videos why searching for Sega videos (I’m a Sega Fanboy) like your self. I have the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro and the Switch. I play the Xbox One X most and the PS4 Pro for exclusive games and Switch for Zelda/Mario games. I always enjoy hearing your input so I have a question for you. I assume your aware of the new Intellivision and SNK console. I have to say it’s a shocker but do you believe there is ever a chance of Sega releasing a new console? Second question is do you believe Sony will release the PS5 at $400 or realistically closer to $500 considering the new Xbox is supposed to be more powerful. Thanks and love your videos.
Damn, the "Universal Disc Reader" would be HUGE for the Next-Gen Xbox. O_O
I mean, they've got the emulation software which they invested thousands if not millions of dollars into, why just let it stay on the old hardware? And I'm sure they're gonna make its architecture be similar to that of the Xbox One X, for easy porting.
And the developers who want to continue selling their old titles digitally get the option do so, just like on the Xbox One consoles.
It'd be a win-win. ^^
I posted a comment here yesterday, but it seems to have disappeared. Glitch or censorship, who knows. Anyway, I believe that Microsoft would aggravate a lot of Xbox One X owners if their new console was already obsolete by 2020. There are rumours of an all digital machine and that might well be the case, but if so, the Xbox One X might serve as a sort of 'template' for that machine, in whatever shape or form, and possibly even in its current form. It's powerful enough since it surpasses all of the machines of the current generation in terms of power ; what's more, I believe that they're only getting to grips with the 'X' and have only scratched the surface of what it can really do. Speculation, of course, but I know that I would be pretty pissed off if the $500 console I bought a couple of months ago will be replaced by something else in less than two years...
That being said, I have a PS4 Pro, and I love the games on it, but the Xbox One, the whole 'eco system' that surrounds it, has something really appealing. Microsoft obviously care about their customers and it shows in what they've been doing for the last two years. The XBox One S and X are both better consoles than Sony's offerings in terms of build quality, and this is backed by a rock solid XBox Live network. If only they had some more exclusive games, they would be unbeatable, even without some zany Japanese exclusive PS4 titles. Personally, I think Microsoft has some big surprises in store for us @E3 2019. Don't take my word for it, I'm just a guy who watches TH-cam, after all, but I believe that the Xbox One X might have a few more tricks up its sleeve...
The Xbox returned to be the Xbox. Like it was in the past against the PS2 the most performing hardware for multiplatform games, it is the same now. The problem is that the exclusive titles, aka "the games", are way more important than the hardware capability of a console. Not only those three exclusive are not so great, but also there are some wonderful games on PC and PS4 that I could not play on Xbox, I am thinking of DQ11, Ni no Kuni 2, Persona 5, Yakuza games.. for a JRPG fanatic there is still much left to desire on the Microsoft console.
I think an xbox that could read 360 and OG xbox games will never happen for 1 reason; no xbox one x enhancements. Especially with FF13’s replaced CGI cutscenes. There’s also the possibility that title updates wouldn’t be available since that would require separate support.
I own an Xbox one. It is the first console I have ever owned that I regret buying (NES, SNES, Genesis, PS 1 2 3). There are no exclusives that I am even remotely excited about. Scalebound was a finished AAA exclusive game and it got canceled. I am buying PS 4 after waiting for 3 years for a good exclusive. I am done with Microsoft and their crappy xbox. I am going back to PlayStation and staying there. If Microsoft wants me to even give a shit anymore they need to finish scalebound and release it for free on Xbox gold and say sorry to the fans for lying to them.
I don't think Xbox One is a good console if you like physical games. There's literally no way to create an offline profile so once they drop xbl connection, all disc based games will be worthless and unplayable.... unless xbox 2 has backward compatability. Also achievements won't pop unless you're online.... I feel that since the 360, Microsoft have forgotten how to make a versatile console. It's pathetic.
I have watched your Xbox videos for quite a while. In the end I caved in and bought and xb1 s. I don't have a 4k tv so I didn't think the x was worth the investment at the mo. I wasn't actually going to bother with this generation but Shenmue 3 on ps4.. Kinda had to get one. Actually your views on the xb1 changed my mind. I had bought the past 2 Xbox's without question. I love those consoles. But then all that DRM stuff just turned me off. I actually use the xb1 for exclusives and Game Pass. Not a big fan of digital gaming but the idea of actually using it to try out these games before purchasing them for a small fee is actually really good value. I can play some of my og xbox and 360 games on it as well. It got me hyped. I've actually really enjoyed the ps4 which is my fave of this gen but if Phil Spencer keeps up what he is doing with the next xbox, I may consider getting it earlier in it's lifespan than I did this one.
Do u plan to get the new n64 wireless controller made by hyperkin?
Didn't even know about it, probably not though.
The Xbox One X is a very impressive game console.
Its not just that its the most powerful console ever made this far its also the design of the actual architecture is brilliant and the SOC ' system on a Chip" is a work of art.
I have a PS4 Pro and Xbox One X and I like the PS4 Pro but to be honest every game from Shadow of the Tomb Raider to COD Black Ops 4 and Battlefield 5 look and play far superior on the Xbox One X.
I really appreciate backwards compatibility from a budget perspective.
The only new game I’ve bought this year as of now is Dragon Ball Fighterz, but I bought Crimson Skys, Oblivion and a couple other games for the same price or less than one new game.
I play on a One S.
Love my Xbox One X 😍
At my local Best buy, the worker man was telling me PS4 and Xbox one are #1 and 2 and Nintendo Switch is last. The worker guy told me that on black Friday they sold more PS4 and Xbox one. The only switch that was sold was the Mario kart version.
Push back.
Been two since i saw your vid and i finally got around to saying: on your Sony vid too claimed xb was failing that is exaggeration. Sure sales are maybe twice less than p4 and MS hides sale numbers, except for x1x, which sold well. I refuse to call MS sales a total failure...albeit probably lost money on the One.
Nor is it affirmed og bc is not returning - I bet on a third wave.
The Xbox division is very valuable for Microsoft in many different ways. Numbers dont tell the whole story. They dont actually even have to "beat" PlayStation necessarily, that only matters to kids on internet forums. Microsoft without the Xbox division would be a much more boring company and very disconnected from the everyday consumer. I think numbers wise they have "lost" every generation including the 360 generation and probably never turned a profit as a business division but it does not matter. Xbox isnt going anywhere.
Dude if i can play a game one xbox one why bother with 360. Just in my experience bayonetta 360 version plays best on xbox one. Coming from a guy who has it on ps3 and switch aswell. I don't own a ps1 as a game collector because the ps3 is the best ps1 and i play gc games on the wii to save space. Shit i play wii games on the wii u. I use the shit out of backwards compatibility. I'm I really the only using it more often then getting new games? Sucks if i am, you guys are missing out. Coming from a playstation guy btw.
I have been using the heck out of my X's backwards compatibility lately. It got to the point that I wanted to replay Quake 4 with the assumption of locked 60FPS and maybe more only to see it's not on the list... I keep just expecting to be able to play everything and really wish it was that easy. So at least for me I feel like it's a big plus to the Xbox brand.
If I had one choice between the base PS4 and Xbox One X, I would still go with the base PS4. It offers the gaming experiences that I'm looking for just as the PS2 did over the original Xbox. In the end it's about the games that you're looking for not the power of the console.
Adam off topic here - since 2 months i am unable to get 360 gwg from the 1x only by a workplace pc and it says my download queue is full. Alas the webpage of 360 queues is no more.
Any ideas?
I think that if they wanted to beat Sony to the PS5, they shouldn't have brought the Xbox One X last year. If you come up with a new console next year, you are basically giving Xbox One X just 2 years, that would be an insult to the people that bought it. They would be doing a kind of Sega 32X thing, even if it's forwards and backwards compatible I think we are still not ready for a new console every 2 years. On the other hand, Sony can do it because PS4 Pro will have been out 3 years in the market by that time. I agree Microsoft is doing great things, but somehow can't just get it fully together since the red ring of death. Again, they are in a position to lose on the next generation. I think this time they need to come late, but a lot better than their competition somehow.
I feel that since the Xbox 360, Microsoft have forgotten how to make a versatile console. Without an internet connection you can't even create a profile or earn achievements. Both of which prolong the consoles lifespan long after they've shut down the servers. Since there's no profile creation after shutdown, the games playable life would in my opinion be limited. I think physical copies would then only be playable for existing xbox users thus making them all worthless.
