Will anyone be buying Overwatch for Xbox One?

Because PC is not Xbox and they're different platforms? The difference is a PC doesn't come with the accessories? The Xbox does? It doesn't make it a better platform, it just kills variety? One of the things PC offers?

I'm not trying to trap or convince anybody. I've stated numerous times in this thread I play console more than PC. I play more Halo 5 than anything I own on PC, but I'm not stupid enough to blindly think like an idiot.

What is your definition of normal experience? Not everyone needs Windows. Not everyone plays far away from their router (enjoying that high latency and slow connection speeds?) and needs a wireless card. Hell you don't even need a fucking KB+M after the initial setup if you don't want to use that. You could plug in ANY controller you chose and play with that. That's the variety I was talking about.

You can use Linux, which is supported by Steam, use it without any "workarounds", "hacks", or "fixes" necessary, buy a game, download it, and play it right now in less than 5 minutes. On top of the fact Microsoft hands out free copies of Windows like madmen.

It's not a huge process, it's actually really simple.

You could even plug your PC into your TV and sit in your love chair and lean back, sit next to your fiancé, sit next to your hookers I don't give as shit, and play your games equally as easily. The only difference is having to manually build it (which isn't hard at all, here's a video of a 3 year old building one with his dad).

Between your "it's so hard and inconvenient!!!" comment and your $1000 i5 comment, I find it hard to believe you've ever even tried to build a PC. You seem REALLY uninformed in nearly every topic you've tried to address.

Let's just pretend for a second you buy the PC I posted in the other comment, $600 exact, new. You need accessories? Throw in another $50, $650, alright not bad for a system that can play any game existing on the platform, emulate any previous console besides the 360/PS3 (which are being worked on), has mods for unlimited possibilities in your favorite games, has significantly cheaper games with plenty of variety in options of where to purchase them, and you're not locked down by Microsoft who can ban your account for legally whatever reason they please and take your entire, well, everything with it.

So $650, that's pretty expensive right? So with the base Xbox One, that's $350. You want to play online for a year? You're up to $410 without any games. Maybe you can't pay $60 at once for a year so you pay monthly for a year instead like I do? You're up to $470. Add only two new games (gross underestimated seeing as even in my close group of friends, I can't think of a single person who has purchased less than 4 new games for $60 each), that's $590 for two games, and a year worth of gold paying monthly like I do. We're inching pretty close to the initial cost of a PC (AAA titles can be purchased for as little as $1 off HumbleBundle) already. I could keep going but you get my point.

The cost in the long run with a console is going to end up significantly more expensive than a PC. You're locked down by a less than consumer-friendly ecosystem with only one option. The process of actually setting up the system isn't significantly hard at all. You can play it anywhere, on any device (stream to your phone, plug into your TV, etc.), use any input device (controller, joystick, KB+M, the possibilities are endless), and play easily.

Once again. I don't give a shit what you play. I play both and enjoy both. I'm not here to convince anyone any which way but I'm not going to be told I'm wrong when that's simply not the case.
