Shitty name for one thing, Xbox One, wtf couldn't they be more creative.

TV experience? Seriously? This is a game system, put more games out on the showcase and save the rest for E3

Exclusives range from meh to utter shit (sports games being their most highlighted Xbox One exclusive are you shitting me? It's time to fire your marketing department.)

Halo TV series? I already watched the anime and it was bad, think of how shit this would be.

Kinect is shit, Who asked for all these Kinect features? Does it even sell for shit? I better not see another debacle like last time, "Skittles", "Skittles", "Skittles", ugh that was terrible, someone should've been fired for that, poor girl, she probably got all sorts of hate directed solely at her and it's not even her fault, she didn't know better.

The really weird thing, in my opinion, is offering an "all in one" entertainment solution in a market where SO many already exist - really solid ones, too! We're not lacking them at all - Smart tvs, the -current- consoles, media centers, wireless sharing servers - there's just so many solutions that to insist "we have the best one" seems so naive. It doesn't feel trustworthy..

Can I have a list of those commercial devices (makers, model numbers and such) -- little touches my vintage PC running MythTV. Compare that to modern XBMC and proper setup there and it is not even close.

I hope Microsoft fails miserably, that is all.

I do not suppose you would care to elaborate why that might be the case?

Interviewer: "So, this is Microsoft's third home console!"
Microsoft exec: "Yeah, we're calling it Xbox One."
Interviewer: "Ok.....and what games can we play on it?"
Microsoft exec: "Well, you can play TV. And movies."
Interviewer: "Right.....but I was asking about games...."
Microsoft exec: "We've partnered with EA and ---"
Interviewer:


Meanwhile at Nintendo.....
Iwata: "And we thought we fucked up with the Wii U!"

xbox one not backward compatible. ea's games are always multi platform so idk how that helps microsoft with the "exclusives" which sony always seems to have.


Why do I need to watch tv or movies on this thing? I can use a computer with access to millions of free movies and tv on the internet and I can download subtitles.

the ps3 can play psp games, ps1 games, ps2 games and ps3 games. xbox one can't do xbox 360.

15 exclusives this year, 8 of which are new franchises.

There’s one feature of Xbox One from which we can infer quite a few conclusions: You can install any game from the disc to the console’s hard drive, and then play that game whenever you like without having to put the disc in.

Wired asked Microsoft if installation would be mandatory. “On the new Xbox, all game discs are installed to the HDD to play,” the company responded in an emailed statement. Sounds mandatory to us.

What follows naturally from this is that each disc would have to be tied to a unique Xbox Live account, else you could take a single disc and pass it between everyone you know and copy the game over and over. Since this is clearly not going to happen, each disc must then only install for a single owner.

Microsoft did say that if a disc was used with a second account, that owner would be given the option to pay a fee and install the game from the disc, which would then mean that the new account would also own the game and could play it without the disc.

It blocks used games:

It is NOT backwards compatible.

This is a bit worrying, regarding not being able to use a purchased game on two console accounts, that's a tad fukked up.

 

[jacksprat1990]

That was just as boring as many of the previous E3 shows. What a surprise. I wasn't convinced. Controller looks nice but still has an ass looking D-Pad. The only thing that got me interested was Quantum Break and it was shown for 10 seconds.

And what a pathetic name.

@emigre's post
That is awful.

second confirm. Just in case you still don't believe me...

 

[Armadillo]

All in one Entertainment solution, so will it be able to play a wide variety of media files and have decent container support?

Or do they actually mean, all in one entertainment, as long as it's bought from us.

So let's recap...

Nintendo is low nowadays with the Wii U games offer.

Sony showed some games... well it was quite a lot of games actually. But they aren't showing the console (Deja Vu... Nintendo did the same thing with the Wii U and the Wii, controller first, console second)

Microsoft.... showed a.... that's not a console microsoft, look at it, its freaking HUGE... WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? MAN TEH HARPPPOOOONS! showed a few games... yes FEW and most of them were CG, games are installed into the HDD and fixed to ONE xbox account, to get it to another xbox account you gotta pay extra... online requirement depends on the developer, if he wants it or not.


Man... this next generation isn't going very well... what the hell is happening? are console going to DIE?

 

[narutofan777]

sony stock jumps following xbox one reveal.

 

[EzekielRage]

Pretty sure come E3 Nintendo has the best options. Looking forward to their nintendo direct. Those wannabe PC consoles of MS and sony are of no interest to me...

 

[Chaossaturn]

It blocks used games:
http://kotaku.com/the-xbox-is-not-always-online-but-seems-to-block-used-509077987
It is NOT backwards compatible.

If it is indeed true that it block's used games, what happen's if you want to play a new game you bought from the shops and you don't have access to the internet, I guess you won't be able to play the game beacuse it won't be able to link the new game to the live account without internet access, so if you don't have an internet connection the new xbox is just a paper weight.

 

[hey_suburbia]

Best news IMHO: "new dpad"

 

[EzekielRage]

its tied to your XBLA account so you need one of these first, apparently.

Ouch.

 

[Shadowlurker]

Microsoft has completely forgotten the fact that one day the Xbox One will be as old as the NES is today.. And that you won't be able to buy the games new making the console MASSIVE paper weight, Good job M$

 

[KingVamp]

I don't see the problem everyone has with all its social and tv features. You'd be surprised how well that's going to help it guys.
It's literally the "all in ONE box"

Kind of funny since Sony seem to be right in the middle and Nintendo trying to be the exact opposite of an "all in one". Well, at least when it comes
to their main focus.

I will say that the Xbox1 will gave many people features that would normally require buying a new SmartTV and it seem to be faster.
