The DRM will not affect me in the slightest and I don't have a crap internet connection that fails daily like most peoples on here seems to do.
Provided the game are there at E3, the main reason I'd buy is the services Microsoft will establish in the knowledge that the vast ,majority of consoles will be connected at all times. Microsoft more than anybody have completely changed the console market in terms of services provided over the last decade. When you look at how the 360 started last gen compared to the end of the gen it was practically unrecognisable in terms of richness of features. I'm very excited about what they envision for the future.
The above is why I'm also not bothered about the competitions consoles at present. The Wii U has yet to show me a killer app worth investing in the gamepad and I'm not the biggest fan of all Nintendo IP's. The PS4 looks to be very powerful but that's about it. Its a PS3 on steroids but seems lacking in innovation. If its just graphics I was bothered about, I'd upgrade my PC. Also other than Uncharted (maybe TLOU once I've played it), there isn't any Sony IP's I'd buy the console for either.
Now the OP probably didn't want to make this a "console war" thread but I just wanted to highlight why the XBO is my current favourite proposition.
