I'm the other to say no, for now. Hey you gotta save money after paying for double knee surgery and a shoulder. I will probably wait anyways until they get the type of games out there that I like. I know the top model will be backwards compatible, but will xbox 1 players be able to play on live with 360 players playing xbox 1 games on the 360?

I'm the other no. :)

 

I didn't buy XBox1 because it didn't have enough stuff to make me want it. I can't play FPS on a console (so no Halo), and if I care about graphics in a game, I just play on my PC. The XBox live feature was only moderately intriguing to me, but all of my online games are either MMOs or RTS so I really didn't need an XBox to quench that thirst.

 

Maybe I'm not as hardcore as some in here and buy all of the consoles, but I had a PS2 before XBox existed so for me it was not a matter of which one to buy. It was whether to add another console to the nest. Not that many games made me want the XBox in its first couple years. I got a GameCube last year because of Nintendo's first party games, they became disgustingly cheap, and I needed something to hook my GBA SP into after Mark peer-pressured me into getting one for Zelda: Four Swords. ;)

 

Mind you, in the past 6 months or so, that has been changing a lot - many games coming to XBox I want to play, and I would get one now if the XBox1 weren't going to become obsolete in 6 months time.

I'll probably get one at launch, just for the fun of it. Not really excited by any of the games for it, yet. I'm glad to see a game with guns on cars (Full Auto), but from the videos it just looks like some really shallow action racer, rather than an actual car combat game :/

I'm kinda with you here. I've got a PC to play FPS on (Halo 2 is fun though, I'm getting better with analog sticks). Other online gaming for me is the occasional RTS (Still playing Battle for Middle Earth frequently). I didn't get an xbox till January of this year.

 

The same thing will get me an Xbox360 that did this Xbox: online fighting games. Maybe online Turn-based strategy (Dynastic Tactics, Final Fantasy Tactics online would rock). But then again, I bet Sony and Nintendo will have more online games this time around.

Yeah, I'll end up getting one on launch. Prolly take a half day at work to really nerd out.

 

Ghost Recon 3 looks good, but I'm crossing my fingers that the latest Elder Scrolls game will be ready for the launch. If it draws me in like Morrowind did, that's all I'd need to keep busy for a few months.
