The Xbox One does seem to be a pretty cool machine.

Though I'm skeptical of it's potential.

By the time it comes out, everything it does will already be offered as good or better through technology already built directly into your TV, or available in every single other box.

Perhaps its power will be neatly incorporating all of it.

I for one will not be bringing a box as big as the Xbox One into my living room just for this privilege, not unless they really do show me the games. And they better be something to behold.

That's exactly the point. Sure if you used multiple devices, multiplr tv inputs, multiple products/software you could replicate all the base functions of the Xbox One. But the Xbox One seemlessly integrates all those feautures into one machine without requiring any switching or delays in entertainment.

 

Oh and the PS4 could very well be even larger than the Xbox One. To get 8gb of gddr5 requires 16 chips at 512mb a piece. The Xbox One would require only one or 2 chips to reach 8gb of ddr3.

 

The rumored extra hardware in the PS4 could drastically increase the motherboard, cooling, and case size.
