The extreme negativity towards the Next Xbox is ridiculous and unfounded

Well, guess what, people not believing to negative rumors or believing to positive rumors only are exactly as rationnal as you are...
The information you "have" is not "available" by any mean; it is nothing but speculation until you "choose" to believe them...

Also it is strange how the information available to you seems to only be based on "negative" rumors and nothing from the positive ones

Name a positive rumor.

DVR type recording of gameplay for starters.

That's a half-positive. You do know DVR tech is expensive right? It usually comes with a monthly subscription fee.
Then there's the question if every single Xbox 720 will come with DVR tech or only the one with 2year contracts. Again, we don't have the final details and this feature has been overshadowed by the more negatives ones.

You can't blame people for focusing on the negative more than the positive. That's just how the media in general works. There's no conspiracy against Microsoft if that's what some of you think. I'll leave you with what the mods have to say on this as this should have put an end to this discussion pages ago. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5312483

"yeah I don't get the surprise here.  People don't like the rumors they're hearing.  Since that's all there is to go on at the moment then the nextbox is getting a lot of hate.  Seems pretty rational.  How much stake people should put in rumors is debatable, but since that's basically all we have to go on now and the bulk of the rumors have been negative the nextbox gets a lot of hate.  "
