The majority of the negative rumors were true. It's funny reading all the previous comments about "just watch, the rumors are all false." Meanwhile everything was exactly dead on.
Microsoft is fighting a losing battle at this point. The vision of a 'microsoft connected/integrated future' is strategically the right thing to do for MS, but the reality is that no one will actively pursue the purchase of the Xbox One just to watch TV, skype, or use kinect 2.0. It's just not going to happen. #pipedream
As of now Sony is all about games, social features for gamers, developer friendly hardware and overall focus on software content and great hardware. Microsoft seems confused as to who is actually going to BUY the product.
Microsoft is obviously competing with Apple, Google, and Samsung at this point. Hence this ridiculous focus on 'media center' capabilities. They are losing to Apple, Google, and Samsung. They are going to lose to Sony this gen because they aren't actually FOCUSING on the gaming aspect of the machine, which in the end is the ONLY REASON people buy PS4/Xbox.
Things can change, but as of now the 'chatter' points to Sony being in a strategically advantages position when it comes to game development and overall consumer interest. I fully expect Sony to nock it out of the park with their software showcase come E3. I can almost see the xbox fans gearing up for the defense once E3 rolls around and the software showcase from microsoft ends up lacking any substance.
