I only had the original Xbox, so it's been a long time since they had me. They should start by getting more *real* exclusives, make the HDD replaceable. Focus more on games, sell a bundle without Kinect and when it's $200 I'll even consider buying one.

Why make the HDD replaceable?

You have unlimited storage via the Cloud.  So any movies or music you buy (or if you have Windows 8 upload to Xbox Music), and any games you purchase are available via the cloud (except disc-based games).    In addition, you can connect a USB-based HDD for additional storage so if you did need additional storage you could use any standard USB 3.0 external HDD. 

What is the barrier?

LOL.

How about giving people options? Not everyone wants a huge HDD sitting next to their console, the Xbox One is already big enough. Isn't the console designed to blend in? I saw an external HDD would "stick out". PS4 allows people to replace the HDD with a simple laptop hard drive just like PS3. The real question is, why not make the HDD user-replaceable?

LOL. You are really buying into this cloud thing aren't you? If you buy something on a device, you can redownload it. No need for storing anything on any cloud. It wll still take the same amount of time to download it to your machine.
