8 Reasons 2017 Is Finally The Year To Buy An Xbox One

1. The Best Exclusives

This should always speak for itself, really, but Microsoft are currently busy shouting that they have the best gaming lineup this year, as well as offering the premier online multiplayer experience.

The former point has generally always been true, but there are times when Xbox One exclusives can look less stellar against PlayStation rivals: particularly a big summer hit like Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. However, typically popular genres such as shooters, sports and sims really are well-served on the Xbox One, with the autumn-Christmas lineup including Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3.

What's more, longstanding Xbox fans are being rewarded with strategy hybrid Halo Wars 2, and the same future promise is held with Crackdown 3. Multi-platform titles are still in the mix thanks to Battlefield 1, Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Mass Effect: Andromeda all representing what the Xbox One can do.
