Really sick of these foolish threads. How any of you take video games so seriously is beyond me. You won't even wait three weeks for MS to show you the games?
Ok, this is kinda harsh. I understand all of the negative press around the console, but Microsoft entered this business to penetrate the living room. That goal is being realized with the Xbox One.
I think the problem is calling it an Xbox when it's kind of hard to call it a dedicated gaming machine. I hardly think the backlash would be this bad if they were just like, "Here's a new media hub! If you're a gamer, it also plays all your favorite franchises! Introducing the Microsoft One!"
I'm pretty sure most people on these forums already hated Microsoft before the Xbone event. All of this is just more of the same.
Jesus...another one of these threads.
Just because it is able to do all these TV like functions, does not make it just a one trick pony. It is a games machine and we will see really good games for it. I know not everyone likes what they showed or it did not interest those here on gaf, being that we are a gaming community, but I would wait till e3 and later to judge it completely.

So much effort and reaction to a one hour presentation that didn't show much.
I think people should calm down and wait for e3.

I really dug the original Xbox.
It's insane the amount of jihad sony fanboys that are crawling the web these last couple of days. Mods are on vacation (not necessarily here but on other forums) and SDF types are letting their balls hang out.
I'm cool off of all the trolling.

People will always hate microsoft.
That event just gave them ammo for awhile. It will stop as always.
How about not even waiting for Microsoft's E3 showing, but waiting for Sony's; we know less about the PS4 at this point than we do about Xbone.
But if Kinect really rubs you the wrong way for some reason, or if you don't like having to connect a new device to the internet, then there's no convincing you. In 2013, I think neither of these things are really that big of a deal.
Honestly I felt that around 2008 the Xbox 360 started changing they got rid of all the people behind the original vision and basically started developing this attitude like "yea we got all these bitches right where we want them!" and they seem to think all the people who bought xbox 360 will automatically buy the new Xbox + they will somehow get casual people who don't play games. It's a very similar mistake that Sony made with the PS3 and to an extent Iwata and Nintendo made with the Wii U.
Things like shoving tons advertisements on the dashboard, spending more and more time at E3 not talking about games and not changing the value of Xbox Live after PS+ and after PSN and Wii U launched free networks were all warning signs of what was coming.
I love the smell of hyperbole in the morning.

Jihad, really? All sony fanboys? Strong words.
Perhaps most of us see through the PR double speak, compilation of evasions and anti consumer policies?
But you can chill out on cloud one.
If the shoe doesn't fit you then don't wear it. Other than that, yes, jihad fanboys.
Let me ask you, what benefit does a mandatory Kinect connection provide to the gamer?
Sqaundered? The system isn't even out yet. The internet does tend to... blow things out of proportion.
Now if the Xbone starts to see less-than-projected sales, similar to the Wii U, then there may be a problem.

Such abysmal hardware failure, inexcusable, but what the 360 brought to the table in it's first 5 years was incredible.
A game consoles reputation depends on its games,last time I checked.
Some of y'all are too scared to read the words I typed I guess.
I said reputation, not sales.

Regardless of the op's intentions, still usual suspects chiming in on all these threads as if they were actually ever going to consider an MS console but NOW they're disappointed... Bullshit.
It's a mob of loud people thinking they can kill the entire system on GAF and all it is going is cluttering up the forum with "me too yea they suck" posts
