So far it's all mulch-media fluff; irrelevant to gaming... And yeah, Kinect is there, they are just smart enough not to mention it by name. Time to get out the alcohol.
WHO CARES ABOUT TV? SHOW THE DAMNED GAMES ALREADY!
This console generation is already shaping up to look like crap. Seriously, all the time wasted into that TV functionality could be used to make the console easier to develop games for, maybe optimize something, bug fixes or something related to GAMING.
Edit: "Important input devices." Kinect. Excuse me while I laugh my sides off.

This thing is going to fucking tank, I'm calling it now.
No gamer cares about this stuff, and no regular person is going to see a reason why they need a magic hand waving camera because, despite what MS is claiming, pressing the "input" button on my remote isn't very difficult. In fact, I have a very expensive home receiver with two output zones, a good 8 HDMI ins, two HDMI outs, audio ins, SPDIF connectors, etc. I use all this stuff because i hook several instruments, MFX petals, DJ controllers, etc; up to my living room sound system.
Quite frankly, I'm someone who is very frequently switching inputs and outputs, but it's really not that hard. Nor do I think the xbox one is going to have anywhere near the amount of inputs I need.

I kind of like how the Console is a patchwork of Dark Gray and Black. Definitely better then just all black/dark gray, like the WiiU and the PS4. I'm not a fan of the name, "Xbox One". Let's just see how the games for it are.
But it's mostly something that most smart TVs are already capable of. Why not use their USP, that they're a GAMES console. I doubt it would be hard for them to fill an hour with stuff about games, instead of using the first third discussing very slowly about how well you can switch between different screens.djl3485 said:
I know that's useful technology, but it shouldn't be a major selling point of your console.
Mainly because they didn't say they were using x86. If they were, I would expect them to come out and say it.
x64 still uses the x86 pipeline, it's kind of confusing but it's actually a good thing. Sony is doing the same thing. Theoretically, development on the PS4, xbox one and PC should be a lot easier. Hopefully ports will be better as a result.The Apple BOOM said:
Xbox One is a stupid name, are they attending the Nintendo school of confusing product naming? Controller looks nice.
Starting to talk about xbox live and unfortunately it looks like they aren't going to make it free. This is just the vibe I'm getting and hopefully I'm proven wrong.
I like the new controller, at least it doesn't look like some sort of abomination like the PS4 controller and it looks like you can actually play games on it.
They finally mention Kinect by name... fuck. Whats the point of making something better when no one wanted it to begin with? Wii motion plus didn't change the minds of anyone who already hated the waggle sticks.
