Fat Chance Gears will stay on xbox Microsoft will make sure of that. With this:

Well it's not like you guys aren't guilty of it either. At lease Sony isn't having problems getting their shit together come next gen. *Friendly jab*

Whenever you are launching a console their are bound to be some setbacks. The rumors say Microsoft are behind with games and so on, you can bet

that sony are nintendo are having similar challenges. The media is just stating what happens to all console launches. It's just the article was about the Xbox 720,

and then people start worrying, when the same challenges are going on with Sony and Nintendo.

Source please. Provide me a link where it says Sony is having issues with PS4 console/games.

If they don't have a good reason to be hyped for the 720, but are anyway

You do realize that some of these comments are coming from 360 supporters, right?  It has nothing to do with Sony vs. MS, but more MS vs. MS.  Many, including some on the 360's side, are worried that MS's future path is going to look like the one they have been on for the last 2 1/2 - 3 years.  One where core gaming has taken the backseat, while more focus is being put on entertainment features and Kinect games.  Where the casual crowd is catered to more, while expecting the core crowd to be fine with 1 release each year from an already established franchise.  Given the rumors we have been hearing, as well as MS themselves mentioning the future of TV and entertainment as two of the three main focuses of the console, doesn't bode well, IMO.

well I can't speak for everyone else but I sure am i hyped for it

Destiny, Cyberpunk 2077, Watch Dogs, new Black tusk studios IP, new Rare IP, better Xbox Live features, and possible more when we actually see MSFT confirm it

Also there is nothing wrong with integrating Media and Videogames unless there are less games being produced

...so after making an article declaring how huge a success the 720 is, the people who list reasonable doubts about it are "hating?" 

At least the concerns voiced so far are actually things with a decent liklihood of becoming true. Much more likely than Kinect interactable NPCs, that's for sure.

I'm not going to come out and say that the 720 has no chance to be successful at all. That's not what I'm attempting to argue. But the OP is an incredibly unrealistically bright picture of the future for the 720. Microsoft has made several mistakes in getting ready to announce the 720. If they rectify some of these mistakes in announcing it, then its outlook may turn around sharply. At the moment, though, there's plenty of cause for concern.

And, I might add, getting upset at someone for taking rumors into account when you yourself reference nothing but pure speculation and other rumors is hypocriscy at its finest.

Indeed, although what exactly were you expecting in a discussion several weeks before the 720's announcement? 

This is a completely speculative topic. Nothing's set in stone yet. 

Despite this, it's safe to say that Microsoft has, at the very least, made mistakes in both departments. If "always online" was not going to happen, than they should have cleared that up immediately after the Twitter explosion. Same goes for the price tag; although we certainly can't expect to know precisely how much the 720 will cost when released, we should at least be able to have a ballpark number a mere two and a half weeks before the launch. Keeping speculation floating around like this is bad for not only your company image, but also begins to plant doubt in other people.

Now, addressing the validity of the rumors, the same argument can be made that would suggest that these rumors are correct. Considering all the bad press Microsoft has gotten because of them, wouldn't you think that if these rumors were false, Microsoft would have cleared them up in much the same way that Sony dealt with the "no used games" rumors? I'm going to assume that Microsoft isn't run by idiots, and they know that if they can stop bad press, they will. The fact that they haven't is more than a little worrying.

I also might add that both these rumors are far more based than "50 gigs of Blu-ray memory," or  "Kinect discussing with NPCs."
