"Angry about the Xbox One? Put off by Microsoft's increasingly anti-consumer attitude? Company man Phil Spencer isn't worried. In fact, he's confident you'll buy anything it puts out, because that's what gamers do. 

"We believe that if all you want is gaming, you'll still pick us, at the end of the day," Spencer dismissively told OXM. "The super core guys, they will buy everything. They will buy all devices, but most people really only do buy one device, and if you're going to think about what that one device is, we believe an all-in-one system that does the best games and TV and entertainment will be something that's really unique."

The general message is that Microsoft didn't feel it was important to show games at the Xbox One reveal, because the custom of gamers is already taken as granted. It'll be pushing the One to other types of buyers, those not already considered dominated. 

"We're going to continue to innovate, continue to add new experiences, and make it better every single year," he continued. "Right now we're eight years into this platform -- we didn't have a single music video [at launch], we didn't have any entertainment, and now we're seeing half our usage globally driven from entertainment apps. And so we think the story will evolve and continue to get better over time."

I stopped reading after this "Put off by Microsoft's increasingly anti-consumer attitude?"... Another article from a very biased writer :)

Just like Sony pre-PS3. We'll see what happens....

Just too bad your console can't actually do that 'all in one' stuff on its own...or even in every country, or even every household in the one country it can.

You better hope the hardcore do like you say, unless they decide that maybe you're a threat to gaming..."at the end of the day".

M$ getting very arrogant..

Microsoft will win next gen for sure. It'll actually be the first generation that they can chock up as a console sales win for themselves. The place that gaming has gone to is right where MS needs it to be. With the yearly Maddens and CODs they're sure to move the most consoles. People care more about online gaming than the bells and whistles that comes in the box. Oddly enough, I only play one game online and it's neither Madden nor COD.
As long as MS comes out the gate strong in the US they'll take a sizable lead in the beginning. It's obvious that Nintendo's classics and Sony's variety appeal less to today's gamers than XBOXs Call of Duty online community.

I really don't understand this type of comment from MS.

Sony made these comments because they had absolutely annihilated the console market to near monopoly with the PS2 and was in a position to be arrogant. (Not that they should have been!)

Microsoft is in last place. Where do they get off with these comments?

Please. Its not like they told gamers to get two jobs....

You're talking about yourself right? Becuase the writer is 100% correct. The Xbox One is very anti-cosumer.

You can't do....
You have to...
You can only....if....
