Xbox One

Edit: Hmmm, KI reviews are pretty positive...

Setting my paranoid distrust of the evil gaming press aside, do you trust reviews of fighting games? Most people seem completely incapable of explaining how they work.

I'm far from an expert in fighting games, and I don't think that complexity or frame-by-rame tweaking are necessary for a fighting engine to be fun. If the arcade mode presents a reasonable challenge with characters that i want to experiment with, I'll be happy.

This is a good point. Fighting games are best judged over time to see what mechanics do and do not hold up. KI also has the problem of a lot of free-to-play games: you'll end up fighting a lot of Jago's online as he is the only "free" character. Even then the roster is pretty shallow by any standard.

It is super shiny though!

You could cancel your XBone preorder and get a WiiU instead for several hundred less.

Dave I dont think there is an arcade mode yet.

same Joystiq review:

Right now, there's little else aside from training, survival and online modes. There isn't a story mode or an arcade mode, though the latter is promised for the future.

There are more Wii U games that interest me at this point.

WTF?!

The other reason I am on the fence is that I have a substantial amount of XBLA cash that I bought at 1/3 of the price which expires sometime in the near future...I was thinking of using this on launch games (thus reducing my costs by 1/3 for those titles). Decisions, decisions.

lol.

part of me is thinking "fuck it, I'll just get it" because why put off the inevitable...

This is the boat I'm in. I'm going to buy it eventually, so I might as well get the chrome d-pad. Yes, I'm the type of idiot who will buy the day-1 edition for that......

I am still leaning more towards no. I think I'll sleep on it. My bad experience with the launch PS4 and the fact that I wouldn't get to play with the One until Sunday at the earliest due to other commitments is also curbing my enthusiasm.

Why is no one interested in Dead Rising 3? Thats the only game that makes me want to get an XboxOne .

There is no reason to get Xbox One on launch, it is very likely that it will have issues, games will be $60, graphical jump is not that high and usually launch games tend be not much improved upon last generation , online services will probably have issues.

If you wait, chances are higher that you will get a more reliable console, game prices will go down (or buy used) , patches and fixes would be released, more games will be released. There is no reason to jump and buy a new console especially when our backlogs are so huge...

I am guessing that for at least a year ahead many games will have ps3/360 releases too...heck ps2 just Fifa 2014 release. I wonder how many units did it sell , and if it was worth the investment to release it on a 12 year old console.

If you don't get it now it means the terrorists win.

I didn't care for the first two.

I am now leaning towards "cancel it unless I learn my grant will pay for it" (a decision on that is still pending).
