Let me start by saying, I adore Playstation, I think all of them are great, especially 2 and 4.

But, my sister had a old boyfriend who was addicted to very heavy and harmful drugs. She got him an original Xbox when it was still relevant.

He didn't want it and gave it to me.

I loved that thing so much. I loved playing Halo 1 and 2, Doom 3, Turok, Black, The Suffering, Godzilla and Mortal Kombat.

But, when I was sent to the hospital because of me possibly having Psychosis, my sisters ex guilt tripped her into letting him take my fucking Xbox. He said it was his and he only let me borrow it, despite him never using it and my parents bought all the games for me.

So he fucking took it and sold it for fucking meth.

He didn't take my games though, because I always put them away with my valuables.

So I came home, and was fucking devastated.

I forgot to mention that her boyfriend lived with us.

I went to my dad and cried. He was fucking pissed.

He threw her boyfriend out.

He never came around anymore, except one time he tried to sneak in the see my sister and was met with my dad's Winchester 1200.

So, a few months passed and I was always locked in my room. Lucky for me my mom gave me her Super Nintendo to keep me happy.

My mom started coming home late, like around twelve. She was doing 11 hour shifts. I asked her why, but she always gave a confusing answer.

Then one day, the door rang. My mom told me to answer it. I went an opened the door, and the ups guy handed me a package from Amazon.

My mom pretended to be surprised and asked me to see what it was.

It was a fucking Xbox 360.

I was so happy I cried.

For the next 8 years I played 360 for at least 25 hours a week.

Then they announced Xbox One and PS4.

It was a general opinion that the PS4 was better.

I didnt care. I saved up 550$ to buy it the first day it was released.

But my point is, like me and many other Xbox One owners, we new we were picking a console that might fail.

But when something brings you happiness for 12+ years while everyone treats you like shit, you choose with your heart, not with console specs.

i can't make a solid comparison in terms of hardware but i hate the ps4 controller with a passion. if it weren't for my love for rpgs, i would have bought an xbox one.
 
^^ for me mainly Halo. But I grabbed a PS3 when The last of Us came out(awesome game) but the controller is too small. The Xbox controller is far better imo
What games do you guys play?
 
^ I might have to agree with that. Hard for me to knock KOTOR off my number 1 spot though :/
 
i bought an xbox 360 purely on the design of the controller.

Yup, the 360 controller is my favorite, and I've never even had an Xbox 360. Picked up a wireless controller when the system came out to fly planes in Battlefield 2 on the PC a little more precisely, but it required an add-on signal receiver so I just gave up on it.

Fast forward to now and I play all of my PC games that are controller-centric with a wired one I just picked up. Rocket League's controls work very nicely with the controller's layout, although I hear aerials can be more precisely controlled with the Steam controller, which I have but I packed it away when the 360 controller came in the mail. I love that it's basically an improvement on the original Xbox's controller-S, which is one of my favorite controllers of all time.
