I was never planning on getting an Xbox One or a PS4, yet even then that performance infuriated me. Since Nintendo is rarely talked about or ignored when it comes to discussion about the direction of the gaming industry I have to take into account what Sony and Micrsoft are going with their consoles.
The fact is- if Game consoles are trying to be the next "smart" TV, then they already lost that race because there are a bazillion products out there that already do that, and devices people have that will make them redundant.
I use my Wii as evidence. It has Netflix, Interent, weather forecasting, and News. I use NONE of those features. I play the Wii to play games. Even when I'm not playing games, I don't go to those channels. I just check the e-shop and power off.
People already have a BLU-Ray to play movies. They have smartphones to browse the internet and watch Television at the same time, they have remotes to turn on the tv.
Xbox One can't even do those things without the use of ANOTHER cable box. So that means you would have two pieces of bulk slammed in your living room.
No thanks Wii U did it better.
I only know ONE person who is interested in this console, and unironically he just happens to live on the coast.
