    I get that naming it Xbox one will make it easier for the inevitable Xbox 2. That said, did they learn fucking nothing from Nintendo?? I read a hilarious mock conversation on another website between your average uniformed customer and a retail employee. Apparently, the average joe/jill is having a difficult enough time differentiating between the Wii and the Wii U......how many emails are they going to have to send to customers when people say "I already have that Xbox, my kid wants the Xbox 720 or Xbox 4....."

    "Though Sony gets credit for actually showing games, Microsoft did technically reveal more exclusive games in development for the Xbox One, making it the winner--at least until E3. " ...Are you guys for real? since when mentioned an arbitrary number without any actual information or even NAMES counts as a reveal? I mean, MS could have pulled that number out of their ass for all you guys know, and even if they DO have that number in progress, you have no idea what they could be, 12 of them could be XBLA or Kinect only games instead of full fledged properties. But most importantly... Have you guys learned nothing from the past, just this past E3 Sony claimed after their conference that they had over 25 Vita games to show, which, is a pretty fucking impressive number, but once you saw the games, you realized that only 5 of them at MOST looked genuinely promising. But okay, even if we give that to MS as a win, another thing hat baffles me from you guys is... So you put a winner at the end of each category, Sony wins 5 of them, MS wins 2, and one is undecided... And somehow this translates into a draw? Dafuck? did you guys learn a special kind of math or something? And if the point was to say that it was too early to tell who is the winner, then why the hell bother naming a winner in each category in the first place? Here's some first class gams jarnalism, ladies & Gentlemen!!!

    Since I watch TV in a different room, don't care about playing online, and don't care about sports, the ps4 looks better to me. But I still won't be buying anything next gen but games on PC until a good price drop and a clearer picture once they're both out for a while after that.

    I have been a goddamn MS "fanboy" for the last 2 generations. It's really getting hard to defend them and I think I'm jumping back on board the PS bandwagon. MS is being so elusive about anything specific and this looks less like a game console and more of a media machine. For Christ's sake when you log on to live and click on the one features.....the games section is on the LAST FUCKING TAB

    If you think this was all Microsoft's idea you're crazy. Publishers have been looking for ways to crack down on used games and bootleg copies for years. Sony will probably have to implement something similar to get 3rd party games to come to PS4. So right now publishers are probably favoring Xbox One at this point because this will allow them to make more money. Hopefully enough outcry from gamers will get them to back off on the extent of mandatory online features. My opinion is that if you buy a physical copy of a game you shouldn't need to authenticate it online. But that's not how publishers see it, and all systems have to please them as much as the consumer.

    Seriously!!!!! Just write one article that says, "All games not previously announced as PS4 or Wii U exclusives will also be coming to XBox One" and be done with it. This stream of one-off article saying, "this game will be coming to XB1" is just drivel. Are you guys paid by how many articles you write, or by the quality?

    So it plays beautiful games and TV... SO WHY IS EVERYONE BITCHING!? IT DOES BOTH. Its a suped up xbox 360 PLUS A whole slew of tv stuff. WHY IS THAT BAD!? Cause its not. ITS AWESOME. Quit bitching, most of you will buy it anyways, you all just seem to need something to hate because this is the internet. You're all acting like it'll stop playing games one day... which it wont. MY only complaint is the stupid name.

    As a 35 year old gamer that has played every system ever released!I actually like the XBOX ONE and its features!I might be naive,but I believe come E3 they will show us that gaming wise it's on par with the PS4!The Internet connect issue isn't one to me,my ps3,ipad,iPhone,pc,and xbox 360 is always connected! The used game news I don't believe will be that big as it is now.! Believe when it's all said and done they will have some rent games program for the XBOX ONE!I also believe you will be able to buy used games at GameStop and it will have the code to activate it,and it will not cost the full price! I also believe Microsoft did the press conference this way to get all the grips and over all road map of this system laid out there!Then at E3 and PAX they will ease everyone's minds and the good times will roll!

    Maybe they'll reveal the XBOX 720 at E3 and call this douchery of XBOX One an entertainment machine rather than a gaming one. I'm dissapointed.

    So at the event according to my count they showed a total of 6 multiplatform games, 0 exclusive games, 1 TV show/game hybrid and teased another TV series and 15 unnamed exclusives? Wow...

    Jeez these things just keep getting more and more expensive, and for what, these aren't earth shattering advancements in gaming, it's just a better Kinect, which isn't ass good as the Wii version, a slightly different controller, that I think I saw on Razor last year, and the new look seems sort of corporate, more black and white and devoid of life. The PS4 also fails to impress, I dislike the gimmicks of getting us to pay for what used to be a common curtsy of letting us decide to get a game used, or play a favorite game from an older generation without using online store to buy it when you've got the disc in front of you. The only thing that keeps me coming back to these company sellouts is every once in awhile there's a new original and fun IP that's console only, sigh but this time I think I'll wait for a while and let the consoles wear themselves out with their price wars and gimmicks, maybe pick one up down the line for a reasonable price and catch up on the good releases that I missed.

    Honestly, I am really digging the whole (running) water theme they have going on in that trailer. With the river quote, the multiple under/in/on (boats) water sense and all that, actually looks great. I just hope that maybe, just maybe, not all Call of Duty-related hope is gone... I think it looks pretty great so far, just saying...

    Wait, I thought Nintendo held a patent on the cross-shaped d-pad. Which is why Sony has the broken up version and almost everyone else has the horrible circular one like the 360's. But, I just looked at a Dreamcast controller and it's got a cross d-pad. Whatever, at least they fixed that so fighting games can be played decently without buying an arcade stick. At last, they dropped their stupid proprietary ports. I'm swimming in micro usb cables since most cell phone makers (gives death glare at Apple) thought "maybe one standard plug would be nice so, in a pinch, someone can use their cord from something else." Thanks for not being greedy this time Microsoft.
