Am considering getting one for the Master Chief collection. Has the console improved in anyway?

Not sure if I have a valid opinion on this as I have not even seen one in person yet. I haven't gone out of my way to find one as I still don't know what games make it worth the price tag so far. At least with games like Sunset Overdrive and Killer Instinct it's not totally about ports but it just seems to be pretty lackluster. I have to wonder if Halo can save it now, given that does not have the brand power it did 10 years ago.

I have one and I've actually spent more time on it than my PS4 by a wide margin, mainly because of Killer Instinct (and because the PS4 is a sad, pathetic, port machine that sells to a bunch of clowns* that don't much care about games).
Other than KI, Max (also now on PC), Dead Rising (also now on PC), and Chariot (also...not yet on PC...but is on PS4! Err...) are all fun and much more worthwhile games than whatever port of old last gen games the nerds are playing on PS4 right now might be. I also need to pick up Forza Horizons 2 and Sunset Overdrive at some point (the latter of which comes out the same time as Bayonetta 2, and there is no way I'm going to be spending time one that in a world of Bayo2).
Overall, it's basically the PS4 w/ slightly inferior tech, and slightly better games and, since I play games and not HW--like most of the nerds**--I'm content w/ it.
(I also got mine as a gift, which helps!)
*Self excepted! (I'm just stupid.)
**Or, perhaps more accurately, myopic fanboys like Joshelplex.

Giving that PS4 is poised, like our economy, to start growing with non-ports any time now, will that uptick start happening before the X1 or afterwards?

I think there are three PS4* games I am looking forward to:
*Bloodborne (and after being burned by DS2, I am in full 'show me the money' mode on that one).
*Assault Suit Leynos (which has dropped off the face of the earth).
*Something else I'm forgetting.
Things aren't much better on X1:
*Sunset Overdrive.
*KI: Season 2.
*Something else I'm forgetting.
*Multi-plats do not count.

Well, PS4 has the next installment of EDF coming, amirite? Don't tell me you aren't frothing at the mouth to get your hands on that one!

I'm not frothing at the mouth to get that one because, of course, instead of going for 60FPS, they decided, yet again, that making the hardware break on their shitty, decade-old, engine was a higher priority.
In other words: PUT THIS FUCKING GAME ON PC, ASSHOLES==at least then I can decide if I want the game to run at single digit frame rates by ladling on excessive amounts of FX.

Another price cut for the X1. Seems a little desperate really: cnet.co/1txyefd |

Yeah, that's not a good sign, but what else do they have? Sunset Overdrive--a game nobody appears to care about--is their big XMAS game.

At this point they would probably be better off allowing users to link X1s together for some LAN nostalgia on the Halo stuff  |

Speaking of SO, if someone actually buys this, let me know--I'd like to give it a go in co-op, but I'm not buying until someone I know buys it.
(And right now, I know about 5 people, irl, that have a One, and none of them are buying SO.)

I'm pretty sure SO is coming to the PC so I'm a wait Killer Instinct is holding me off until Halo MC Collection this Tuesday. Have not payed a penny for KI and must say it is very fun even though I have no skill at the game whatsoever |

I think it's a foregone conclusion that there will be a PC port soon-ish (middle of next year) and, somewhere much later down the line, a PS4 port.
