I agree, it is really strange that they do not cater to the non-traditional gamer more, like they have done these past years. I think it has been a very succesful strategy, because it enables for more people to also discover what else these consoles have to offer. Also, accesories for the Kinect could be a huge thing :).

I am not too worried about X1 in the long run. People here focus waaaaay to much on gaining marketshare, not on how to make profit and getting a broad consumer base which also brings in the cash through other services than just games. If X1 end up being in second place behind PS4, well that is no different from any other generation, and I am still sure they will make a buttload of money of it and get people to use their other products (W8, WP8) together with the X1/Kinect. 

Playing it safe is not a good strategy in this day and age, that will not grow the industry.

Yes, I think the other company may start about better, but in the long run, unless something crazy happens, I think the Xbox One will do very well.  Not only is it a great gaming console with an outstanding controller, but it is also many other useful and nice things.

Once they open the marketing to the casuals, I think it will be a big(ger) hit.
