The conference itself was kind of meh as I was expecting a bit more focus on games rather than the few throw away tidbits they did offer.
The media functionality of the console is indeed superb. If those services would be more developed in Romania, I'd be interested in owning the new XBox just for that if not for games.
But, as the Sony conference felt to some as being too long, this felt much too short and really felt like Microsoft is not that interested in the core gamers right now. They have wiggled their way into the living room and this feels more like their end game rather than gaming. Which...for now...I can't really say if it's bad or good for gamers everywhere.
Would have loved a more dynamic conference with a bit more focus on the core gamer. It wasn't to be.
Let's hope E3 proves to be a LOT better than this. Last generation I bought a 360 at launch instead of a PS3 because it had won me over at that point...so far I'm not even seeing the most remote chance of that.
