Wait....what? :what: I'm too old for all these conferences and didn't even bother to watch it. But I'm going to just say that that can't possibly be true......It just can't be.

Having to pay for a game if you want to play it on someone else's system.....? The only thing I'll say about that is, if MS is doing it, then they are pretty sure Sony is doing it and that is the ONLY reason they announced it if that indeed happened. There is no way they would release a console that you couldn't play used games on unless the competition was also doing it. Theres just no way......

Microsoft needs to fire the design team, just when you thought the system couldn't get any uglier than the 360.

As I was saying about mainstream media

Fox News
Indeed, the Xbox One demonstration was so impressive it made me wonder, why the heck didn’t they do this with the disastrous Windows 8?
CNN
The console itself is more angular and practical looking than either of its two predecessors. Flat and rectangular like a cable box, you could almost call the design reserved. But it is by no means unattractive, and will probably sit tucked away in a cabinet anyways.
The Register
On the face of it, the new console looks pretty impressive. Response times and gesture control are very good indeed, the visuals are stunning, and Microsoft scored an instant win over rival Sony by actually having a working console to show off. The demonstrations were in a tightly controlled environment, but the upgraded Kinect system looks impressive and the console looks very speedy to operate.
SMH
Xbox has been the exclusive home to such popular gaming franchises as sci-fi first-person shooter Halo, racing simulator Forza and alien shoot-’em-up Gears of War. In recent years, Microsoft expanded the scope of the Xbox 360 beyond just games, adding streaming media apps and the camera-based Kinect system. With the innovations showcased on Tuesday, Microsoft is taking those ideas further.
News.com.au
Key features of the Xbox One revealed in Microsoft headquarters in Seattle are advanced voice controls and the inclusion of a new-generation Kinect controller with every console, allowing you to switch from watching TV to playing games by spreading your arms as if you are grabbing the screen similar to the way you pinch an image on a smartphone or tablet.
The Sun
But the news that really got gamers salivating was the exclusive gaming deals they announced.


CALL of Duty: Ghosts takes the critically-acclaimed franchise into the next generation. Downloadable content for the new Call of Duty game, Ghosts, is available exclusively first on the Xbox, as is FIFA 14′s Ultimate Team feature.

Fans were treated to some spectacular footage from both flagship titles, as well as some glorious footage of Forza Motorsport 5 — one of a number of titles that will be available as soon as the console is out.
MSNBC
Out in the Twitter peanut gallery, we’ve been hearing people calling the case design “boxy.”One guy said, “Looks like a VCR. Hopefully that means it will play VHS,” while anotherechoed, “Does it come with a cassette rewinder tho?”

Cosmetics aside, the response for the whole system seems more upbeat, ranging from “Sexy” to “Can’t wait to have mine!”

But this is a big year for gaming, and things are just heating up.

I'm catching up on the reveal and damn this shyt sounds like it was painful.
Apparently the applause that you heard at the end of the conference were not coming from the audience but Microsoft employees in the back.:laugh:

I'm not sure what people expected out of Microsoft? They have been nickle and diming people since the launch of the 360...this is just a continuation of Microsoft focusing on way too much bullshyt at once. They are selling you guys a "console" which is essentially just a closed PC...microsofts wet dream since the 90's in where they control EVERYTHING.

15 new IP's? We will see what the fukk those games actually are because Microsoft has a shytty 1st party history and their best exclusives are "timed" or "console" exclusive.

I am a little shocked with the blu ray drive, but pretty much saw everything else coming. As I've been telling you cats for years already...if you are a GAMER you get a combo of PlayStation/PC and win. The other consoles? Get those later IMO once they have a worthy library.

Its mind boggling to me that Microsoft has not learned anything from Apple. A small focus is what works best. The XBOX is pretty much a souped up Roku that can play games on the side...that is what the press conference felt like. As far as Xbox fanboys mad? Why? This is the kind of shyt Microsoft has been force feeding down your neck for a whole generation and improved on the formula...whats the problem now? Not "Jumping In" with the new enhanced "experience"? You guys look like the fools now.

Speak with your wallets and don't accept a gaming system with gaming as a secondary focus. You all fukked up a whole Gen, don't do it again...you've been warned :ufdup:
