I own a decent quality HDMI cable, and deciding whether or not to sell it with something or keep it for the Xbox One I'm getting.

This is the cable I own.

is it better or worse or the same as the one that comes with xbox one?

But first, let's talk about parallel universes.

HDMI is HDMI, having a better cable will not increase or decrease the quality

I'm not sure how to explain it...

do you care if it's a dry asphalt, a wet asphalt or a country road when you're flying a plane over it?

HDMI, DVI & DisplayPort are all DIGITAL signals. Either the cable works and the signal is passed along it, or the cable doesn't work and there's no signal.

Sure, really el-cheapo cables might die after a few years of ABUSIVE use (repeated insertions/removals, flexing the hell out of the cable to make weakspots...), but that's down to the build quality of the plugs and sheathe of the cable, no inherent fault of the data being passed along the cable.

Hopefully its dry asphalt, just in case the plane has to do an emergency landing on it. :D
