I hate the name xbox one because now its gonna be confusing if someone is talking about the actual first xbox

[Scumbag]

I wasn't impressed with the new Xbox at all. Design is lazy, controller looks nothing new and most of it's features are already available.

 

The name is utterly stupid and just like the leaks predicted they are focusing way too much on Kinect, TV and multitasking when it should be primarily a games console!

 

Graphics wise all the trailers look like they were running on 360/PS3 and I despise the butt buddie partnership between EA and Microsoft. All the negativity from EA towards Wii U is now transparent, Microsoft pay EA to back out of developing games on Wii U so EA have the audacity to talk rubbish on a console.

 

They also mention the 8GB of RAM which we have known for a while. How much of that 8GB will be available to games? Considering it's using Windows and Kinect then that's a huge chunk already so maybe 4-6GB for games which is stupid.

 

PS4 will be the more powerful for sure. Wii U is unique and exciting offering something the other consoles can't do out the box. The new Xbox is VERY underwhelming.

Gotta say, I was impressed. Hardly plan on buying one as Microsoft's exclusives don't interest me, but the tech definitely looks nice. Kinect was pretty dang neat.

The only good thing about requiring to install my games is that all of my games will be right there waiting to play and even if i trade in my physical disc ill always be able to play my downloaded game isnt this a plus???? You trade in the game to get another one but still get to keep the game....

OMG This was probably the worst console reveal of all time, PS4 has so got my attention now, but even so this makes my purchase of the Wii U even more justified, I look at my Wii U and I feel happy, I look at Xbox One and it literally makes me feel sick.

It does play used games. You just have to pay a fee that is the same as the retail price. Yeah, mind as well be blocked though. Oh and, you have to be online at least once a day or it goes kapoof.
