    The launch event was mis understood. Gamers were let down with the focus not being on games, but more on the whole box. Their intention was to focus on the "one" and not one part. They said almost at the start that they were saving a lot of the game reveals for E3. For me, since the non game info is what i liked, anything extra will be a bonus. IF the voice and hand gestures make my TV experience as cool and easy as they made it sound.. ill be happy to purchase it just for that, everything else will be a bonus.

    I should add that i do agree that they "should" have included a lot more game info. I mean XBOX has always been about games. It should have been 60% game info and then " ok.. so now you see how bad ass our new games will be on the new xbox.. but wait! look at all this other cool shit t can do" Even though "the other shit" is what Im excited about.. i understand that most people are more interested in the games.

    Also, i wonder why they just didn't wait to reveal it ALL at E3. Based on a lot of articles out there on the web.. PS4, at least on paper, sounds like it will have more for power for gaming.. more ram for example. Well have to wait and see.

    Well if you see how fast technology changes, then it's quite stupid to focus so much on what the xbox can do. 2y after it's launch pc's (or any other derivative) will do what the xbox does, but better, cheaper, faster, and etc ... and keep in mind that the xbox has a life span of what, 6-7 years? It's about games, not about anything else.

    I disagree. I'm sure i am not the only one who could see the value in what it can do. And if you read all of my post you will see that i also agree its "more" about games and that they should have focused more on games in their reveal. I was simply saying that the game part is not what excites me personally. But my disagreement with your statement is that.. yes.. technology changes all the time.. so? does that stop you ( or anyone else ) from spending money every year or two on new PCs? not me! the new xbox will be one of the first devices to bring a lot of the features you need separate devices now to do, together in one good looking package. And i cant wait for the day when what this new xbox is offering ( in one package ),is offered better and cheaper but the next big thing.. YAAA! Ill buy that too!

    PCs can do a lot of that now, but i like the idea of kicking back on my lazyboy and playing games.. watching TV.. using my voice to find/record/watch my shows etc.. Its not that groundbreaking i know. But for me.. its a damn good xbox package. I hope PS4 has even more to offer 8) I'm all about the future!

    Interesting GIF. Personally I like MMOs and the challenge of Boxing but as the father of 5 little kids I also like having the WII & other console games so that my kids can play in 4 player cooperative mode with only 1 device & 4 controllers on the big screen. Much easier than having 4 separate computers and more age appropriate for small kids.
