Most people i know are acutally excited for it, the used game policy is bs, but PC gamers have been dealing with that for years, console gamers can too. |
Most people are just uneducated on the matter. People will believe all the negativity that is spun and not want to be ridiculed by their friends for owning something that is talked bad about.
Today I talked to a friend I haven't talked to in a long time. I asked him what he thought about the new Xbox. He said that everyone said that it sucked and he doesn't know if he's going to get it. I told him about the TV features and the fantasy draft snap view. He was excited. He loves football. Told him how it was going to be DRMed and told him PS4 games have the option of doing it if the developer chooses. The TV integration still stuck and he's interested. People have only been telling him about the bad things they heard about the console and nothing about what it actually can do.
People are blinded from seeing a console as anything different than only gaming. Watching Netflix use to be joked about too when it first arrived on consoles. That soon became an easy pill to swallow. The Xbox One may seem like a bigger pill to swallow, but people will adjust to it and notice it's an easier transition than they think. If anything, the Xbox One is helping to save the videogaming industry from the death grip of Google and to a smaller degree Apple, who are trying to invade the living room with their own set-top boxes. MS is trying to put walls up to slow them down from coming in, while giving the videogame consoles time to evolve in order to catch up to times to push those two giants out the door and keep it closed.
