Almost everything about it so far looks horrible; too much multimedia focus, used game fees...

I haven't been this uninterested in a major home console since I started gaming.


sorry you are wrong. Media focus does not take away the awesome gaming features. It just makes the overall console more awesome. And no good game is worth buying used anyway. The way I see it, this console is for real gamers who support developers...as opposed to people like yourself.

Multimedia does take away from gaming. It means the design and support will be less tailored to games specifically because  it has to accomodate non-gaming features. It means I'd have to pay for a bunch of features I don't want or need.

I support developers who deserve it. I buy things new when the  devs really put the effort in and create a great game. 

As for "real gamers" give me a break, elitist.


This is not true. 90% of THE Nextbox library will be 3rd party games. As 3rd party games will not be affected by media features. Moreover even first party games will be abundant. Have you heard of the fifteen exclusives in launch year. This is impressive and you know it.

don't call me an elitist. I don't know what that means so I'm going to take it as disrespect. Mind your manners

But resources and design decisions that could have been spent improving the system's gaming capabilities will have been spent making sure it can play TV the best it can, etc. I'd prefer a system geared exclusively or almost exclusively for playing games.

An elitist is someone who looks down on others and labels them inferior, which is what you did by classing me as not a "real gamer." It wasn't any more disrespectful than what you said to me.
