We’re a short day away from the launch of Microsoft’s new system, the Xbox One. We decided to reach out to our followers on Twitter and Facebook to see who was planning to pick up the next-gen machine at launch. We also heard from those who were holding off, for reasons ranging from apathy to robbery.
You can see a collection of some of the responses we got below:
@GamesBeat Not, would love to, but can’t at the moment. #money #firstworldproblems

@GamesBeat already have a ps4, nothing to play but killer instinct until next year, the price, no cable box. — Kyle. (@SoSuperSpooky) November 21, 2013

@GamesBeat i will not. already have a ps4, and the media features are not worth it to me. exclusives are not compelling enough to buy. — Albert Duong (@aduongin) November 21, 2013
@GamesBeat yes. aside from the games, looking forward to the multitasking and skype integration

@GamesBeat As fun as Dead Rising looks, Uncharted, God of War, inFamous and the gang are just more my sort of thing & I just wana play games — davoid23 (@davoid23) November 21, 2013
@GamesBeat Will not. Had a pre-order through @Amazon, but had to cancel after debit card was copied and checking account robbed.

@GamesBeat it’s the same thing as a 360. Just $500. And it has nothing going for it right now — Bob The Builder (@InvisibleMauler) November 21, 2013
@GamesBeat Nope. Too busy with my #PS4 to drop $500 on something like that. Maybe in a few years if it hits sub $200. 🙂
