Disappointing. They spent too much time talking about a feature that amounts to a voice activated TV remote, and too little on games. Game-wise all they really showed were the sports games, CoD, and that Quantum game (briefly). I'm assuming they're saving the games for E3, but if this serves as an indicator of how they'll be handling this generation, I'm out. If they weren't going to show anything until E3, they should have just held off on the unveiling until then. I also thought the name was horrible; it's going to take some time before hearing "Xbox One" makes me think of the new system and not the original. I can already sense tons of people getting an original Xbox this Christmas by mistake.

Overall, with the lack of games, focus on TV, forced integration of Kinect and cloud gaming, total lack of backwards compatibility, and awkward name, I'd say it was a pretty bad first impression. It didn't make me, or my brother (who owned both the original Xbox and Xbox 360), want an Xbox One. Unless they come up with some godlike exclusives on E3, I'm not giving a cent to Microsoft this generation. I love my Xbox 360, but this is pathetic.

Oh, and it looks like it was designed in Minecraft.
 
Xbox One looks like its going to be a terrible buy for anybody who enjoys playing ther singleplayer games offline, or for anybody who uses their gaming consoles for any sort of fulfilling gaming experience whatsoever, instead of just watching netflix and playing COD.

As a gamer, I feel insulted that they've gone down this road. I couldnt be anymore disappointed.

At least there's still a chance for us, for when PS4 comes out right? I strongly feel Sony is pretty much our only hope at this point.

With Microsoft fucking up this badly, Nintendo might actually have a chance (if they release a real controller that is).

Only time will tell. honestly im not very certain of how bright the future of gaming actually is. fortunately i've got a strong PC that i can run to, but not everybody has that option, and they shouldnt have to either.

there is always nintendo, but i like to stick my money with what i know - i've never been a big risk taker. with what i know so far, it seems that PS4 might not be so bad, so long as they dont follow Microsoft. PS4 > WiiU > Xbox One.

But if nintendo steps things up and suprises us, i would gladly welcome it. i just dont feel sure of it enough to bet on it.
