The Baby Has A Name: Xbox One

Why drastically change something that is pretty much perfect? I really couldn't have thought of anything to change on the 360 controller. Totally comfortable, totally works.Terramax said:
They showed Forza 5, that it looks like Microsoft bought some exclusivity rights to a few of the really popular EA Sports franchises, and they showed a good deal on Call of Duty: Ghosts also that Microsoft will have the rights to get all the new Call of Duty stuff first.Hagi said:
Finally, Microsoft said that within the first year of the system, they will be releasing 15 exclusive titles and that 8 of which will be new IPs.
Only really stupid people, that if they make that mistake, they should leave the gaming community ever. Really, no sane person is going to think it is some re-release old Xbox.Tank207 said:
Come on people, this is the lamest excuse to be thought up to make fun of the name. Again, no sane person is going to think they are buying an original Xbox.RaNDM G said:Xbox One? What?
Have to hand it to Microsoft. They proved us wrong with a worse name than Infinity.
Yeah, it was a pretty nice reveal with a balanced look at pretty much everything that will be on the thing.Mortis Nuncius said:
But of course, if you believe the parroted responses from several people on the forums here, you'd think that they believe this console is the Anti-Christ, because it doesn't have backwards compatibility, which some how automatically makes this now the worst ever time to be a console gamer.
People definitely are blowing things way out of proportions, considering that backwards compatibility never was and never should be a breaking point for deciding not to get a console because it doesn't have it. The only thing people should be buying new console for are the new games, which they did a fine job of giving a little preview of(not a lot so they have stuff left for E3), and the new features that actually matter, like the quick switching between all forms of entertainment, the game video capture for all things, the greatly improved Kinect, the snap screen feature so people can do multiple things on one screen.

Come on, it isn't that hard to grasp why they named it Xbox One.Claymored said:
They explained that from the get go, by saying that they are making it an "all in one" system. Along with gaming you will have all the rest of your electronic entertainment possibilities there as well, movies, tv, music, and the internet, and it will all work seamlessly as "one", hence the name Xbox One.
So far, all the digs I've seen people make at this new system are superficial and things that are not buy or pass points when buying a new system.
I admit that I was all ready to pass on Microsoft for this generation, because while I like my 360, it wasn't all that ground breaking amazing to get me to stay with them, but this reveal has me getting ready to save up to get one a few months after it comes out.
It won't be wise to go PC. With Nintendo's back against the wall and a next-gen war about to hit in the fall, we're going to have probably the most diverse and invigorating amount of content ever released for console launch.WOPR said:
[HEADING=3]It's all about Exclusives[/HEADING]
Microsoft announced that eight new IP's will be coming out next year. I bet that half of them are XboxOne exclusives. The same is happening for Sony.
If we take a lesson from Red Dead Redemption, RockStar will never release Grand Theft Auto V for the PC. Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain also will not make the PC, unlike Metal Gear Rising: Reavengance which was produced by Platinum Games, not Konami.
Why do you think SONY will have 1 hour of extra content on Watchdogs? Because they supported those studios at Ubisoft more than did Microsoft. This is being practiced by both companies.
And PC gamers won't be able to rely on the absolute best of Indie titles, as the most talented of these developers will get courted off by the big two, like thatgamingcompany's alliance with SONY. The talent pool will be sucked up into titles devised solely for Microsoft, SONY or Nintendo. That's the way business works.

That's a... Oops no, the joke is already done, looks like a VHS player, and what's with the name? I get it, it has an "all-in-one" functionality, but I don't give a shit about "look at these features" if I'm looking at a videogame console. But it doesn't really matter thou, I've never cared about Xbox to begin with.
If it's online only and blocks pre-ordered games, I don't give a shit what the name is, it won't be appearing on my shelf.
So... Pre-paid fees, keeps bragging about "All in one" features which no one really gives a damn about, possible Online only.. Yeah, PS4 is definitely winning right now. This is a catastrophe. What the hell were you thinking Microsoft? Scratch that, were you thinking? Are all these companies in a great war on who can suck the hardest?
I have never been so happy to dump $2500 on a PC. NEVER.

I remember the reason for them not naming their second console "Xbox 2," was to not risk sounding inferior to the PS3. I wonder how many people will overlook this console, assuming it to be weaker than its rival and predecessor.
Actually they said that always online is not required, so the social stuff would also be optional. I defiantly won't be linking my fb with my PSN, they just have it as an option for those that are interested.WOPR said:
They've told us the system specs, it's features, that it DOESN'T require online etc, all they haven't done is show us how it looks which honestly doesn't matter. Compare that to the xbox which is as anti consumer as possible and Sony has done a great job.weirdguy said:
"What if a single box could provide all your entertainment?"
You mean my fucking PC?
Seriously, microsoft, you did that like 10ish years ago, and they are a lot more convenient, and cheaper.

When I read speculation on what the next Xbox was going to be called, I could never stop thinking about this billboard in the 2011 movie Real Steel:

Of course, that movie is supposed to take place in the giant robot oversaturated future of 2020, so Microsoft still has seven years to get their act together and prove this wasn't just the result of their licensing department saying yes to an overreaching set designer. Now, I'll just be reminded of Ubuntu One [https://one.ubuntu.com/] whenever I hear about this console.
