What's sad here is based on their last couple E3s this was super predictable but nobody wanted to believe it could be this bad.
They even said it was all about games and core gamers the other day - then they show this. It's like when MMO companies blab about how players want to be the singular hero and change the entire world through their actions, then just release a WoW clone.

Oh fuck, they dropped Blu-ray into the new thing? Why don't you just drive over to Sony's HQ and offer salad tossing, fuckers?

It's DDR3. Were it 5 they would have said so.

As an aside, Razer just announced this awesome fucking thing:
Seriously, who would buy that turd? I thought it was a joke. It looks like it belongs with the NES. Yes, the first one.

People expect their game console to be able to perform as a video player these days. The days when it made sense to put movies on one type of media and games on another ended with the DVD. Blu-Ray won the physical format war (and will probably be the last physical disc format before we all just move to streaming everything).

Oh I agree. I'm just still lol'ing over the irony of MS essentially saying "we give up" and swear fealty to Sony. I mean we're basically consolidating the consoles the same way computing has done, with Apple giving up PowerPC and switching to Intel. The box may say "Mac", but we all know what's really inside. So unless they're announcing that many of the XBox Gold stuff that Sony is, has, and will continue to offer for free is going free itself, why should I buy a Xbox One over a PS4?

Why should I buy a Xbox One over a PS4?
Why should I buy either over a PC if I already have a TV and a blueray player in my computer room?

What kind of TV service does the average american have if you need an XBox + Kinect + Voice Recognition to make things easier?
I thought we had that thing sorted when we invented the remote control.
I don't want a microsoft controlled camera in my living room. I don't want a microsoft controlled microphone in my living room, I don't need a >500 dollar device just do do the things my tv can do just fine if i add a $99 roku box to it and better.

A bunch of the MULTIMEDIA! stuff sounds useful to me, but I don't even have a blu-ray player yet so it isn't like it would be redundant hardware for me.

Lean, that takes me back. You know when Rainbow Six did it literally nearly 2 decades ago
That will never work. They'll never get the balance right.

BTW is it some sort of retro trend that made MS design the XBOX to look like an eighties VCR or have they hust given up design-wise also?

It's literally an HTPC designed with commodity parts. After the RROD thing with the 360 they were totally going to over-engineer the shit out of the Xbox One and make absolutely sure it wouldn't have similar issues.

lol After a Microsoft-hosted London event around the Xbox One reveal, Xbox's UK marketing director Harvey Eagle has said that the console will not function without Kinect connected.
"Kinect does require to be connected to Xbox One in all cases, yes," he said. Asked whether the Xbox One will accommodate people who perhaps play in their bedroom rather than their living room, Eagle replied: "Yes, absolutely. We use the living room almost as a moniker - that's where we assume the best screen is in the house. But if you like to play in any other room in the house, the Xbox One will deliver the same quality of experience whatever the environment."
As anyone who's ever tried to play with Kinect in an enclosed area knows, the current technology simply doesn't support it - which means that Xbox One's new Kinect sensor must be significantly different if it will work in any room in the house.
