To me XO at this point is just purely an inferior PS4. It has no special feature and is flat out inferior, which won't change over time no matter what they do. The console is becoming more and more of a mess with every passing month. It doesn't look anything like what they were designing it to look like, while the PS4 has a clear message, it is exactly what Sony intented it to be. The worst thing though is that they still can't undercut the PS4 in price :/ Crazy.
Still, I'm not sure if I ever wanted an XO with Kinect, so all in all it's better this way. I might get one in a couple of years, when the price hits 100-130 Euro to play the few exclusives, so the cheaper it gets, the better.
Cause while I can't imagine a Wii U without the GamePad, I haven't seen anything done with Kinect that would make my experience better, hence all in all - a it's a move that makes the console a complete and utter mess, but will probably make the console more attractive to the hardcore gamers.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
