Perhaps not, but Microsoft didn't seem to have a ton of confidence in it.
Kevin Durant donated $1m to the OK Red Cross. That is pretty amazing. I know he has money but I can't recall an athlete ever donating that much to one cause. Usually it's all through their tax dodge foundations, or to their alma mater

If Ras-I stays healthy, he's a Pro-Bowl player. Too bad the IF is the size of a small moon.
Edit: Holy shit, who at Gametrailers thought that this guy was a good idea.
He's as injury prone as RunDMC, except DMac wasn't injury prone in college.
Ya know, it's quite poetic that you are fan of a team with so many Rutgers players (you signed Mark Harrison the other day) with Rutgers Dutch origins (formed by the Dutch Reformed C and it's motto is based off Utrecht's).

I didn't know this. That's pretty cool actually. I should attend Rutgers, can you hook me up ?

That was an amazing conference. MS is going to kill it this coming gen for sure. That console was so futuristic, people are going to eat that up for sure. I also saw the announced some kind of Fifa exclusivity. It will be interesting to see if that sways Europe at all from Sony.

Did EA learn nothing from their Giants/Iggles CG trailer debacle?
New Xbox looks like a shiny Colecovision. New controller looks like a serious downgrade.
They haven't showed any 1st party content that will get me interested. Maybe at E3.

The IRGIII concussion was the most realistic thing about the whole trailer.

Man, that was incredibly underwhelming. PS4 for me.
When they first announced the deal with the NFL I started to get scared. Then they talked about what they currently have planned and I just started cracking up.
Whole thing just looks like a big joke. It's essentially everything no one asked for nor really desires. PC+PS4 for me it would seem, unless they make some big adjustments to their plans when they see this fallout.

Without the sales, flex-pricing, and easy to navigate UI.

You should click on threads rather then read their titles.
Q: Will Xbox One allow players to trade in, purchase and play pre-owned games?
A: We are designing Xbox One to enable customers to trade in and resell games. Well have more details to share later.

Plus with Steam you can easily download the client on multiple machines so you can play your games anywhere. Will it be that easy to access all your games on another Xbox One?
I don't see why not if their account system is up to snuff.
MS is actually very good at account activation/deactivation. Shouldn't be any different than say a copy of MS Office (x amount of installs, activate/deactivate).
It is the same anti-piracy and anti-used game system steam uses. As far as pricing, I have no idea. On 360 and PS3 the digital downloads were jokes. Anything with a mouse will always have better UI than a gamepad
edit: didn't see YH's post. I imagine used games and rentals will incur a fee to be paid to MS

I dont see how you can say this. The voice commands seemed amazingly responsive and way better then having to have a fucking keyboard and mouse in my living room.
The_Darkest_Red

That's a good point, that part probably won't be an issue.
I just don't see how voice commands will work in a noisy living room
Yeah, I'm just guessing. In an ideal scenario you can have x amount of authorized devices to an account, similar to Steam. Games are tied to account, which is tied to authorized devices. I'd be fine with that, if we could get the deals on Xbox that you can on Steam.
As far as used, I'll wait for details.

So what's the price you guys think they're gonna tag on this puppy? Seems like pricey bunch if the Kinect is a must-have addition.

That is a legit point. My wife and I are already worried about how it will work with 2 XBOX ONE's in our living room next to each other. Sucks that MS confirmed no BC, that really takes a lot of the steam from next gen for me.

I'm going to guess the same price as I think the PS4 is going to go for.
$499-$599.
I like it too. It looks huge but it looks pretty sleek.
The conference as you say was basically the setup for E3. Still doesn't excuse the total lack of actual gameplay footage. As much as some people around GAF don't care about Killzone, at the very least it was something to show off what the PS4 could do at the Sony unveil.

That entire presentation was great if what you care about is accessory services and are interested in your game console controlling your living room. I can see how that would appeal to a certain subset of folks.
As a gamer, the entire presentation was a disaster. I find those type of advances interesting but impractical in a lot of situations and frankly I've have absolutey no interest whatsoever in integrating gestures in my normal everyday routing of watching television/movies, etc. Voice activation is fine and dandy but again - what does it offer to me in terms of useable functionality that I can't already do on a remote? That stuff didn't click with me with the current Kinect unit and I doubt it will do much to win me over in this next generation.
The total and complete lack of focus on actual games was depressing. I understand the plan is for E3 to focus on upcoming games but you're revealing a game console - it would behoove you to show a little balance. To give the gamer something to chew on outside of fantasy NBA integration because in the end we are the people that are going to be the early adopter on this product.
I'm sure I'm in the minority in saying I like the design. Yeah, it's bulky but it's simple and I'm good with that. The controller looks nice as well. I really hope Microsoft knocks it out of the park at the E3. In the end, I'll likely own all of these consoles but which I buy first this holiday season will depend on greatly on the games that excite me at launch and right now Sony has done a better job enticing me.

I'm fine with the design as well, but it is a little odd. You can put a very high end PC into a much smaller package. They are building at 40nm, which is huge. They will be able to chop that thing down significantly very quickly. It's something to think about as far as adopting early. It's going to use a lot of power

I am really curious to know what the 7 exclusive sequels are at launch. Forza is 1 but I cant think of many others that will be ready for launch.

They have only themselves to blame.
God this thing must be shit as far as spec. This hardware thing they are talking about offloading computing into the cloud. Every tech thing is making it work with the the rest of the living room. They are under-powered relative to the PS4. Badly from how much they are spinning

What a garbage reveal. Supporters in Gaming keep asking "What did you expect from the CONSOLE reveal?" Did they not watch Sony's when they showed debut trailers for four-five PS4 games?
Futurevoid

Not even debut trailers - honest to goodness in-game footage running on the hardware. I don't think its out of the question to want/expect that out of a reveal. People were bitching that Sony didn't show the hardware itself and I have to keep wondering - who cares? They showed what mattered. Actual content.
On the design - it has a very HTPC look to it.
