then again the core of the market is not buying the console before year 2 or 3 of the console....
and yeah beside specialized gaming website and a few tech website mostly US based nobody cares about what's going on in the console world right now.... i'd be surprise if there is anything over 1 million people that are remotely interested in next gen yet and have followed closely what's going on....
it's like the boooooing at EVO of KI and XB1 and the journalist trying to make us believe it is a big deal... the pro fighting community is so tinny they could all stop buying XB1 completely it wouldn't impact the console sales by more than 0.1%
it's pretty much the same so far with every pseudo deal breaker the community has been trying to point out....
yeah sure a fraction, hell even a majority of hardcore gamers enthusiast might pass on the Xbox, but once again those are still not the core of the market buying the console, they are not the 70 millions that bought the XB360 they a fraction of that....
but hey who am I kidding everybody in the community is convinced they are the relevant majority, they think without them nothing can happen, and my favorite is they think because they have been the more vocal one it means they are right and nobody wants the XB1 and even less the Kinect...
well a lot of people are actually excited about XB1 and the Kinect... they just don't need to post it to feel better about it, and with the climate you have on gaming forums lately I don't even know why they would even come to post... it's getting so bad IGN had to step up on their moderation cause they are losing control and of course audience over that....
now people should get over it, the XB1 and Kinect will sell just fine comes November and will have legs deep enough to be in the competition until the end of next gen... you don't like what you get, get over it or express it by not buying it.... MS has a vision that doesn't suit yours but it suits and will appeal to millions of people that are not just looking for a closed non evolving gaming rig...
some of us want a cross between an XB360 with kinect, a steam box, a cable box and a PC with out most of the impracticality of each of them as stand alones... and are willing to pay the price for that, and some will wait but it will sell, no doubt about that.... it might not track on Sony's sales but anybody saying it will die is just trolling big time.... if it was true Sony PS3 would have had way more issues to sell....
