Xbox One

So, I bought an Xbox One.  I'd promised myself that I wouldn't buy one, but I say that every console generation, no matter the platform.  I held out pretty well, this time, though.  Why'd I buy one?  I got tired of missing out on the recent Forza games.  I've Forza Horizon 2 for the Xbox 360 and there's NO DLC content for it.  And, there's no Forza 5 for the Xbox 360...only the Xbox One.

So, I bought an Xbox One for Forza 5 and Horizon 2.  My thoughts so far:

1.  There's hardly any DLC support for Forza 5.  I'm not sure about Horizon 2 DLC support, though.
2.  There's barely any racing wheels for the Xbox One.  I believe there are two and one in development to be released to the public soon.
3.  Two of the three wheels are $299, while there's one that's $99.  The $99 wheel lacks FFB and manual shifting with clutch (this is the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider wheel).
4.  Forza 5 is nowhere near as robust as Forza 4.  There aren't as many cars included in Forza 5 and Forza 4 surely has better DLC support.

There's no wheel maker that's making cross-platform wheels (ie, wheels that can be used acrosss both the PS4 and XBO systems, although they have PC/PS4 or PC/XBO wheels).

As well, controllers, games, and Kinects are non-compatible between the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.  Really??  This is the type of crap that'll drive me to PC gaming exclusively.  If I wanted to play co-op games in my own house, I'd have to by another controller or two, and they're not cheap.  I also decided to pass on buying the Kinect for the Xbox One, since I figured I'd be able to use the 1st gen Kinect that I have...well, nope, they made it incompatible with the Xbox One.

When I bought the Xbox One, I'd thought about trading in my Xbox 360 for trade-in credits to go toward my Xbox One purchase.  That would've made all my Xbox 360 games unusable and I'd have had to sell/trade them.  I opted to keep the Xbox 360 so that I could still play my older Forza and Project Gotham racing games.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to stop investing in console gaming.  I shouldn't have to spend $800 to buy a new console, a game, and a wheel, only to see the hardware and games become obsolete every 4 or so years.  Competitive racing via console used to be fun, but MS and Sony aren't playing nice with their customers.
