As a follow up to my Wii U question....Is a large number of the TD Community hanging back with 360 and waiting on upgrading?

Wouldn't mind getting back into some online play.

there were 2 replies in your other thread, why would you create a completely new topic?

Because this was aimed directly at TD 360 gamers and I figured they would not be looking at Wii U threads.

Don't see the big deal, but if it is...then it can be deleted.

alright, that's a pretty good reason


i think it's probably 50/50 to answer your question. seems like of my 360 friends, half will be getting a One within the next 2 months. Whether that be Friday or next year.

i traded in my 360, 4 controllers, kinect, and 35+ games Sunday night. Paid for over half of my One. Will pick up my One Friday morning.

The other half is sticking back for a few months. And honestly I don't blame them. Day 1 consoles often have issues down the road and honestly I can only think of a handful of games that you can get only on the One and not on 360 (Forza 5, Dead Rising 3, Ryse, etc). Everything else, the major cross platform titles, you can get for either the One or the 360 (NBA2K, FIFA, COD, BF, etc). That will likely be the case for the next 2 years.

well said.

I'm in the group hanging back.

one, because I didn't get off my arse and preorder one.

two, because there will be issues, and I dont have the patience I once had.

three, honestly the only game I'd play as of now on the Xbone is BF4, which I have on 360.

To answer the OP, if you already have a 360 and are interested in online play I would probably hang back until something like Titanfall comes out on Xbox One on March 11th 2014.

You'll probably get a wide range of answers here - some jumping on XBO, some going to PS4, and some hanging back waiting to see what the landscape looks like 6 months from now.

I'm sticking with 360 for a few reason

I have at least a dozen games for my 360 I've yet to play or finish

Many of my games are digital downloads so I can't trade them in anyway

I don't have nearly the time to play I once did. Maybe once or twice a week for an hour or two. Can't justify an entirely new system for 2 hours a week.

Purse strings are tight these days so I just have better stuff to spend my $$ on

didn't even think about this until it was too late. (State of Decay, Walking Dead, etc.) Gone.

My big reason is, I buy 5-6 titles a year anyhow and I don't want to keep buying 360 titles, then that money be wasted because I can't play them on the One once I do decided to upgrade. So, I might as well get it over with.

I'm getting the one and keeping the 360 because I'm the only one of my friends getting one and I'll still get on the 360 to play halo and shadow run with them

aren't titanfall and destiny going to 360 if so there is no need to get the one and you can just wait for a price drop..... If you are poor

I pretty much feel the same way, but I will add that my urge to play has went downhill lately. It may be because of football season but I just don't play nearly enough to justify the money.

The only game I play right now is GTAV and I can't get that on Xbone. I'll get one eventually, same goes for a PS4, but I'm beginning to like other hobbies more than gaming.
