The OP seems to create many threads in effort to convince him/herself that their future purchase of Xbox One is the right decision. This is actually really simple...
If you like Halo, COD, EA Sports games and don't mind the Always online DRM Bullshit or the required Kinect then buy the Xbox One
If you aren't highly interested in Halo, COD, EA Sports games and don't like the Always online DRM Bullshit and required Kinect then don't buy the Xbox One
I fall into the latter group.
Kinect wasn't innovation and neither is Kinect 2.0 And guess what... the Eye Toy wasn't either
Microsoft could have given the Xbox One a GPU like the PS4 has. But they said "Nope we are going to give you a Kinect instead". And I was like "No I don't want the Kinect". And they were like "Too bad. In fact, we are going to require you to use the Kinect". So I was like "Ummmmm no thank you", turned around and said to Sony "You are my new BFF... BRO HUG!!!".
I have no doubt that the Xbox One will sell well to the COD/Halo fans, the casual gamer, and families. But as a core/hardcore gamer... it offers me nothing
And yeah, graphics do matter. It's not the only thing that matters. But it does matter
