Now I've let the conference aftermath cool down for myself personally... I kind of figured that MS was just going to boast about more web streaming apps and hype up Kinect (they've been doing and prepping for this for the last 2 years now)... but after reading some things about the One's hardware and some things that MS is leaving out I've had enough and I have to make a post about it.
Xbox fans can come and defend this, because I really want to know how someone, anyone can possibly do such a thing.
I'll start off with this quote...

Okay, so what MS is saying... is that in 2013 there was NO way to make your 360 headsets, controllers, keyboard pads compatible with the new console...
What!?
Initially, I was like WTF when I heard about the Kinect now being the default mic for the One... but then I thought, nah, MS will probably just allow people to use their Bluetooth devices/headsets with the console. That would make sense right? Since you know?... it's 2013 and the PS3 did this what? 7 years ago.
Then I see this and I had to point it out...
http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-and-playstation-4-specs-compared/
As you can see by the pic... the damn thing doesn't even have a Bluetooth radio.
So not only is MS not allowing gamers to swap out their internal HDDs, they're not allowing gamers to user their current 360 headsets on the console (throw those Turtle Beaches in the bushes), they're still going to use AA batteries in their controllers, they're not going to even let people sync up any universal bluetooth headset to the device.
It all comes down to this company wanting money. Xbox Live forces you to pay a fee just to use an internet browser, Netflix, HBO Go, ESPN etc... they're doing the same with the hardware now. They're purposely omitting shyt to force YOU to buy more accessories.
How can anyone with common sense accept this? How can you nikkas defend this? It is blatantly obvious at this point that they are fukking you over on the hardware of this device. It's not just going to be weaker graphically, it's going to be gimped feature wise as they're trying to push Kinect on you for everything.
Xbox stans please come in here and explain to me why this doesn't bother you at all. PLEASE, I'm literally curious to see how you can justify MS going this route and just flat out nickling and diming you like this?
