I was considering getting one of those cheapy 4 GB Xbox's when it went on sale for a cheap price. If I remember, around the holidays they were selling them for around $99. The thing is that there are very, and I mean very, few games on Xbox that actually interest me. Most of them are already available for PS3, which I already have. That means that it's the exclusives that would make me consider purchasing one, and I can't think of much besides Lost Odyssey, which doesn't really look as good to me as some people have been saying it is. I could just watch a playthrough of it.
There's only two games I can think of that would make me purchase one: Mass Effect and Bayonetta. Bayonetta is already available on PS3, but the game was ported terribly, but I may consider getting it for the system anyways just to see if I can deal with the performance issues. They probably aren't as horrible as some make them out to be. But then there is talk about the game showing up on Wii U considering the sequel is exclusive to it, so I don't really know.
As for Mass Effect, the only thing fueling my interest was the first game, which was exclusive, but now it's available on PS3. And honestly, I have looked at the complete list of Xbox games and there really isn't anything that interests me. I have tried watching various bits of gameplay footage, but I just don't see a point.
Whatever. I'm sure nobody is going to read this. I'm no console fanboy, but I only have so much money to spend and I'd rather not have to buy a system if I don't have to.
