The problem is that, all of what you talked about aren't what's going to get the Nextbox to win next gen. All these five things will do is ensure that it wont fail. What it needs to win next gen is to have something new, something different that no one has thought of before. OR, it needs to have this certain position in the market that will make it immediately popular despite whichever advantages the other two consoles might have over it. Consoles are very strange and the videogame industry isn't as straightforward as you make it out to be. The online advantage that set it apart this and last gen is shrinking and people are getting a bit tired of Halo. Kinect disappointed a lot of people and as you mentioned, Sony bought Gaikai. in other words, in streaming all Microsoft can do is catch up. To win next gen, they need something, the problem is no one is completely sure what it is that they need. And to be fair, the same can be said of Sony and Nintendo.
