I am curious to know why people are still gaming on outdated consoles. With the addition of backwards compatibility to the Xbox One and the ridiculously low price of the systems now, why are people not converting? Also it is getting closer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you can pretty much steal a next-gen system..just saying.
I bought a day one edition Xbox One for $499, plus additional controllers. headset, games, charging adapters, for a grand total I don't even want to list. You can now buy an Xbox with 2X the hard drive capacity and in a limited edition skin for the same price, or cheaper. I know everyone does not have the same financial situation as me, but it seems odd to me that people are still on last gen consoles demanding all the new games and content added to the next gen. Its been just about 2 years now.
Also, on a completely unrelated note..Sony is introducing in-ear noise cancelling headphones for PS4..they look pretty badass.
Edit: if you have kids and a mortgage and a family to feed, your argument is 100% valid in my opinion, I never once said those things should come second to buying a new console. That's absurd. Family over everything.
This post is not meant to be solely related to financial constraints. Like I said before I understand not everyone has the same financial situation and I am fully aware not everyone can just drop everything and spend $500, but as frequent gamers the conversion to next Gen consoles has been known forever, and there is no way you can tell me you aren't able to afford a new system if you have played either for more than 1-2 years. Clearly you're able to keep funding that system, how is a new one any different besides the initial cost.
There was once a conversion from xbox and ps2 to Xbox360 and ps3, same situation as right now, technology changes every day why wouldn't you want to have the best possible experience with the most current technology. if you're spending enough time gaming to be on forums arguing your case, you're considered more than a casual gamer in my opinion and have spent more money than you care to think about in the process. Why not constantly update if you're going to be a constant gamer?

Necessity vs. Luxury. 4) My clan mates still game on 360. I would kinda leave them behind if I played this on an XBone.

Tons of PS3 games, works fine. Just as good as any console. Also I have to friends on ps4

Because not everyone can afford to buy a new console or thinks the purchase is worth money.

1 ReplyParents are divorced, and i bought an xbone for one of my houses. Got my 360 at the other. Once destiny goes next gen only i might get another but not until then

2 RepliesOh I have the money, but I play where mg friends are and where the competition is at. Next-gen consoles have a much larger player base, making the competition level very low. Not to mention there are WAY more games on the 360 than the One, for now at least.

Black Friday is almost here I'm sure they should get the normal toys by then

Because the elite isn't out until Friday

Because my xbox 360 works just fine. I actually have a one but my buddies are still on 360 and they are the reason I still play this game.

1 ReplyEdited by SwiftBMF: 11/3/2015 3:38:59 PMWell actually its not 2 year this will be the second xmas its been out & was only out a couple of months before last time,& thats really all I have to say because youre probably the biggest prick Ive come across on these toxic forums. Do you think that everybody just has a few hundred to throw away at any given time,mate your a total idiot & I hope not 1 single person gives you 1 second more attention.

2 RepliesI have xbox one but the reason most are still on it is cause either they arent fortuante enough to be able to afford it or they like the 360 better than one which it is better. Xbox one is the only console to take 1 step foward and 2 steps back

1 ReplyI play on Xbox One and Xbox 360. I only play Xbox 360 to play with my girlfriend. She's getting a Xbox One on Xmas.
