The true weaknesses of the XBox One have nothing to do with this article. This article points to the reveal not showing any games, but that doesn't mean the One won't have any games...

Sometimes I wonder if gamers really are so stupid to think that. Either way, E3 will tell you if the system has a weakness.

Now, all we know is that MS is pushing the system as an all-in-one entertainment box. Its true weaknesses come in the form of certain policies and poor relationships with indies, but that was nowhere in OP.


that's sort of irrelavant.  over the last few years MS has earned a reputation for not caring about the 'core' gamer.   they started the xbox guns a blazing with exclusive content and then it dried up and many of their exclusives went multiplat.  while sony kept firing with more and more exclusive MS put out kinect and facebook and bunch of other service oriented crap most 'cores' didn't care for.

so the problem isn't that xbox won't play games.  the problem is that the message they've given re-enforces their image of think of the gamer as secondary to everything else.  marketing and image is very important to whom a product sells to. 

When the interviewee says "I don't think anyone from Sony lost any sleep", it means he basically thinks Sony sees no threat due to the conference, which is crazy because whether the games are shown or not, Sony witnessed the unveiling of the competing platform and the specs as well as the overall strategy being unveiled.

I understand what you're saying but that barely transpired in OP, and the conclusive remark of the author "he kind of makes sense because Sony had games at their unveil" just makes it more clear that this article is either uninformative or misleading.

So microsoft targetted another audience than gamers at their conference is reason for Sony not to lose sleep, color me educated.
