Like the above have said and some other exclusives like KI, Zoo Tycoon, Forza Motorsport, etc.

Seeing as you already have two I'd say wait Until E3 or the holidays to pick one up if you want one at all. So much content coming to the PS4 and Wii U that you should just stick with those.

I bought Forza Motorsport 5 today. I got the game of the year edition for $25 off the Xbox One store.

I think I might just pick up an Xbox 360 Used instead and see what that offers as PS3 is getting tapped out all I have left on my list of to get games are a bunch of over priced RPG games I can wait on.

I decided to hold off and see what comes of the Steam machine. I have a strong feeling I will be getting a new gaming computer this year anyways so that would negate the need for an Xbox since I already have a PS4 and Wii U. I don't see enough true exclusives coming to Xbox One to justify owning it in that scenario. I have a very strong feeling Microsoft is going to give Windows a strong gaming push to stop Steam OS in its tracks.

Cuphead continues to look amazing:

Developer namedropping Contra and Gunstar Heroes as inspirations was cool.

Can't wait to play it whenever it comes on PC.

Welp, Microsoft's press conference just sold me an Xbox One. A more diverse than expected showing, plus the Rare mega collection and backward compatibility pushed me over the edge.

You can get $175 trade in deal at BestBuy for your old xbox 360 (250GB or better) and now with BC on the ONE there's not going be a reason to hold on to your old system.

Might need a bigger drive then 1TB though since all physical xbox 360 games have to be installed just like xbox one games.

-------------
Loved Sea of Thieves (Rare's new pirate multiplayer game) and some of that new VR tech stuff looked good as well. 

Overall MS had a decent showing--better than the last couple of years that's for sure.  Most of the big AAA games were "expected" but MS stated they had more stuff to show off at gamecom so maybe we'll see more "orginal" titles there.

Just like last year on xbox e3 conference the only interesting game shown was Cuphead.

Backwards compatibility is good. It might make my transfer from 360 to One easier whenever Scalebound comes out.

Gears Ultimate Edition is disappointing, because it's just the first game. Gears 4 is i don't even know how to feel about -- majority of it the player was walking around.

Pirates MMO looks cool, but no way it's gonna work and be fun to play.

Huh, I just reviewed the major announcements before I strolled over here and I have the opposite impression. The backwards compatibility is a good move, but more of a delayed feature that should have been there at launch. More subjectively, I can't think of anything exclusive to the 360 library that I missed.

Rare's new pirate MMO game is completely unappealing to me. The Replay collection is cool, but not mind-blowing. Gears 4 looked really underwhelming, but at this point I think the franchise is just played out. That Recore game looked the most promising, but showed no gameplay, and is from Armature, which has not produced anything decent. Otherwise the AAA landscape is looking like it's banking on a lot of safe sequels. Dark Souls 3, Tomb Raider Reboot 2, Dishonored 2, Fallout 4, Halo 5, Forza 6.

I now respect Phil Spencer because he has backed up his allegations that he understands what gamers want.

Still won't buy an Xbone.

Not sure what platforms this is for, but here's the first thing that's actually caught my interest from this E3 so far, unraveled from EA of all places:

Looks really scripted, but that could work in a Limbo-type way.

I'm not a big MS follower. Someone help me understand the details.


Backwards compatibility
(1) Is this going to be all 360 games?  Or just the (very meager) subset posted here:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility/


(2) What does "backwards compatibility" really mean to MS, because going off their 360 experience I'm less thrilled than many here seem to be. Remember how many games kind of worked, and how many didn't?  It's still cool news... but hardly "sell your 360 and rush to buy XBone" material.


Rare Collection
Ok, no questions here. Just sounds awesome and I'm jealous!

Notice how Halo and Gears are absent from the list until Microsoft is done making money off of the remakes. Still it's pretty cool. If the games are "natively" running on the Xbone then that explains why you'll have to download a copy from Microsoft. It seems they are actually recompiling the binaries to run on the Xbone instead of emulating the Xbox 360. Could be wrong.

ReCore has an interesting pedigree, it looked okay for a cutscene.

That's what it is now, and they're going to add to it over time. They said something about having over 100 games by later this year.

Notice how Halo and Gears are absent from the list until Microsoft is done making money off of the remakes.

But it does include pretty much all the 360 Rare stuff, which is going to be in that collection they want to sell people.

Quick thoughts on the conference: it was good. Not great, but good. I'm reserving judgement on the 360 BC compatibility thing, since it's on a case-by-case basis & I suspect many publishers aren't going to do it since they have HD-er Collections to put out. Also, the way they are DOING this BC compatibility raises some serious issues about the Xbone's pitiful storage limitations, even compared to the PS4.

The Rare Collection made me very happy. In a month, I could be playing Jet Force Gemini, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Blast Corps again. I couldn't be happier with the selection.

Halo 5 did nothing for me, even as someone who really liked Halo 4. I liked Gears 4 better when I thought it was an Alan Wake game for the first 30 seconds of the footage. Never played any of the Gears games I own, so indifferent towards that & the remake.

Cup Head still looks amazing.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is still a very stupid name, and the footage was a lot less than I wanted.

Why is it the N64 Conker and not the remake for the original Xbox, live and reloaded, which looked way better?

For me what I'm looking for the most in backward compatibility is XBLA stuff, so I probably don't have to worry much about things being held back for remasters. I'd like to finally play Shadow Complex.

And was WAY more censored than the N64 Conker, perplexingly.

At least the Xbone lets you stick a USB hard drive in, Wii U-style.

Shadow Complex is very good. By the time I finished Axiom Verge I had cooled on it a good bit, has a lame back half. Shadow Complex I thus still regard as one of the only real contenders. Glad it gets to live on.

The only Rare game I've never tried from the modern era and really want to is Blast Corps. I was holding out hope they'd dump that on the VC due to lack of any other outlet. Oh well. I have also dreamed of playing the Battletoads arcade game after seeing it as a kid in the wild but not having any quarters.

I've wanted to play Blast Corps and Jet Force Gemini for a long time now, and I'm finally going to get the chance, and I'm always up for more Perfect Dark. That collection is a crazy value; Perfect Dark and Banjo Kazooie on XBLA alone cost as much as that whole 30 game thing.
