Youīre such a nice mom

You know, he is such a great kid - he has never said a word about me breaking his 360, but I can tell it upset him not to have it to play on. I bought him a new computer for XMas, because I didn't want his XMas present to be me replacing something I broke of his, lol.
His XBox worked steadily from 2006 till I borrowed it, I owe him this.

Making you rebuy the games, lol. I've already re-bought the games for the PC when my consoles both broke; so I think I'll have to forego buying the XB1.
It says a lot about the majority of gamers when all it takes to get them to rebuy a game for a new console is basically a shiny coat of paint.
And it also has the bonus for microsoft of padding out their range of games for the XB1, which is, at the moment, what's holding back both of the next gen consoles.

It would be nice if this new "more like a computer" type console could allow for modded games, wouldn't it?
Ah, but then you'd have to buy keyboard and mouse peripherals to mod properly, need to sign up for the paid version of xbox live/psn, and probably have to buy the program to mod the game anyway. At that point, would it really be worth it? They might even be able to get away with charging for mods on consoles. *shudder*
Yeah, you made some really great points here. I was wondering about the game lineup for the new consoles too, because if they aren't going to make them backwards compatible, and there are no new games out there to go on them; that is going to be one expensive dust collector sitting on the shelves unused.
What do you want to bet that the Fallout 4 console game will require XB1?

Just kidding.
