Microsoft only needed to do two things to impress me and make me seriously consider buying their console:
1. Make a Kinect that would work in my house (and I think this one would).
2. Design a controller that could be used effectively to enhance the Kinect experience, like the Wiimote or the Move. (Failed)
So it's a no-go for me, even before factoring all the other cons revealed today. Everything about this console looks like it was assembled from a desktop PC kit ordered on Newegg. The bundle of services MS has thrown up to add value to their IBM Netvista hardware is not compelling to me at all.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing
