the drive still reads blurays without problem. It just won't read my Diablo 3 disc.

discs die too. I had Diablo III as the only game in my Xbox One for about three years, never even removed it, as it was the only physical I owned. Around the start of the pandemic the Xbox wouldn't register the disc anymore and wouldn't start Diablo II.

I grew up playing Playstation in the US, but then moved to Nintendo consoles until 2017 when I got my first Xbox. I opted for Xbox because ABXY could easily be remapped to Nintendo‘s arrangement. Perfect.

Typically, I’d recommend a wii. Great games. Even has Wii Fit.

But I did just pick up an Xbox 360 and Kinect for about 80€ so I could do Nike Kinect Training. It’s definitely not as fun Wii, and not as much variety as Wii Fit, but Nike Kinect Training is the best workout game I’ve ever tried. It corrects my form. I’ve never sweat this much before and it feels like a whole body workout. It has become my favourite workout “game”, beating out Wii Fit (U), Ring Fit Adventure, and Beat Saber.

While I’m a big fan of the Wii, after getting the Kinect I see its appeal. It’s sees your whole body, forcing you to actually move your whole body. With the Wii/Switch, you only really need to move the controllers in the right position. Your form could be questional, but it won’t get corrected.

we already have Nintendo games on a different console: mobile.

Sure you could argue that the original GameBoy was inferior. Pea green screen, with four shades of pea green. No backlight. Highly inferior to the Sega GameGear.

And the DS. Super inferior to the PSP.

And the Switch compared to the Series X? There's no competition!

But that means nothing, because Nintendo worked within the limitations of the hardware and produced AMAZING games. Specs don't matter if you know how to use them to still make great games.

it doesn't matter if your wireless controller uses RF or bluetooth, as long a reciever can be plugged in via usb. But even then, it's unfortunately a little more convoluted.

Xbox One (and Xbox 360) both have a controller authentication that is checked when you connect a controller. If the proper authentication response isn't returned, the Xbox will just ignore the controller.

It is possible to connect a foreign controller, but you'll need something that can passthrough the authentication data from an appropriate controller and passthrough commands from a third party controller. I use a CronusMax Plus, which makes it fairly straight forward:

• Step 1: plug in CronusMax Plus
• Step 2: plug in original/licensed Xbox One controller via USB and let authenticate
• Step 3: unplug Xbox One controller and plug in Xbox 360 reciever

Alternatively, you can plug a usb hub into the CronusMax Plus, with original controller in first USB port, and 360 reciever in second port, and CronusMax Plus will take care of the rest so you don't have to unplug anything.

I've used it to connect my Wii U Pro controller (via mayflash adapter, that imitates an Xbox 360 controller) to my Xbox One. And I'm currently on the lookout for an original wired 360 controller, so I can do the same thing on my 360.

Edit: there is also the Cronus Zen, which is apparently the new flagship device. I haven't looked into it, since I already have a CronusMaxPlus, but it appears to basically be the same, but with a built in usb hub and bluetooth, so you don't need to unplug.
