I agree with you 100% but still the X1 made the wrong moves here. The cable TV one really made me scratch my head to be honest. How did that meeting go?

 

MS Exec: "Hey guys lets make are box compatiable with cable TV"

Assistant: "Aren't cable TV subscriptions dropping rapidly every year? Should we invest in something like that right now it's only going to continue dropping as this gen goes on"

Ms Exec: "I still have cable TV I'm sure a lot of people do"

Assistant: "....."

well most people are missing it.  while yes it is for cable they said that anything can be added to the one guide if i recall.  so all the streaming apps people have can be added as favorites so its actually pretty good.

thing is if you did  each show on a gamers/minute  i think microsoft did better on the reveals.  and they damn sure won e3 on games.  but i will say this again.  when gamers start bitchin about entertainment they better stop playing games because last time i looked gaming was entertainment.


Yea but all those streaming apps can also be used on the PS4 on top of that it's got better gaming hardware and cost less. This is one of the reasons the X1 is losing. I don't know why they thought people would be ok paying more for a weaker gaming system just because it can be a cable box also. People are just going to say "eh my cable box is fine" and by the cheaper system. Your essentially asking people to pay $100 more for a fancy remote and lower quality games.
