Unsurprisingly the 360 is still King, but all kings pass away eventually and then Prince Xbox One will take the throne. It's just a matter of time... just wait until worthwhile exclusives come out...
Looking at the price and games available I'd have to say that an XBox 360 is a better purchase. The XBox One is going to be a beast of a console but for that to happen more time needs to pass. Time enough for hardware improvements/optimization to take place and for new games to launch.
Well im the type of person where once I experience something better I cant go back to the past. Kinda like when I got my first HDTV years ago. Watching standard def is like torture to my eyes now lol. Same with the 360 its nice but the XB1 blows it away... Just be patient until later this year. I just dont see the point in wasting money on old technology when the new wave is here. My son plays my old 360 and he loves it but im completely over it lol.
I think you should buy a Xbox 360 because there is too many classics on the Xbox 360 that you should play before upgrading. If anything get a Play Station 3 because it is cheaper in the long run and has some amazing games also. I would defiantly buy the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 because there is not too many good games released for Xbox One, I also have to tell you that the price for the Xbox One is rather pricey compared to the Xbox 360. I am going to be honest if you are rich just buy the Xbox One and play the games that are out currently and it will defiantly help you in the long run.
Main difference is that the One can play xBox One games, the 360 can't.
And the 360 can play xBox 360 games, the One can't. :-(
So the ENTIRE CONSOLE is different!
MS screwed the pooch with backwards compatibility.
I have both and I use my 360 more often than my One. I only have a couple of games on One and most of my friends still use 360, so it is an easy choice for me.
