The more Microsoft says these things, the more I'm convinced that they're scared. And you know what? As a long time Xbox fan, I'm getting pretty damn scared as well. It sounds like Sony could be making a huge comeback next generation, one that I might want to contribute to. But the more rumours I hear about the neXtBox, the less excited I am for it. Here's what I've heard so far about the neXtBox:

1) It won't play used games. In other words, I'm going to need to buy two copies of my favourite games just in case my neXtBox breaks down and I need a replacement console.

2) Kinect is literally going to be shoved down my throat (ie. mandatory). Doesn't Microsoft realize that the only reason why Kinect is so successful is because most retailers don't sell the 360 without it? I bet that most of those bundled Kinect sensors end up on a shelf or in the garbage.

Congratulations, Microsoft. You're pissing me off so much that I'm actually defending Sony.
