This forum is like 95% vehemently anti Xbox. Besides any opinion garble about exclusives, Microsoft has made:
A low cost barrier for playing games financially. You can buy an Xbone S and a gamepass sub for $215 or like $265. You're buying a digital console bundle of 200 games for that cost. If you're poor, you can reasonably set money aside and get a gaming console with a bunch of games.
An affordable controller for people with severe physical disabilites. I know this forum revels in absolute dogshit tier shitposting, but making a controller that enables anyone to play a game makes me emotional in a good way. Kids with terrible handicaps can play with their friends, getting into a severe accident won't end your hobby. Gears 5 in general has set a precedent with having accessibility options not hidden, and incredibly well implemented.
Game pass in general will be the future of gaming distribution. It's going to a service that's either copied or built upon to be a killer app for Xbox as a service. Don't PlayStation Now me or say Nintendo gives away games too. Game Pass has been one of the best gaming services this entire gen.
I realize this post will most likely incite "lol care post, no one cares, why u not shitpost", but, whatever. When the next Xbox cones out and Game Pass is being built upon to be a killer app service, I fully expect people to jump from the hate bandwagon.
Xbox is an easy target for obese YouTubers such as Jim Sterling and Dunkey. Makes antisocial neckbeard assholes validated that they play Kaizen Nurobiro Sugatits on PS4 or Switch. Because when you can't get laid, look like a bloated and hairy ogre testicle, and can't talk to women, arguing about console exclusives is all you have left before making love to a bullet.
