It doesn't have the hardware to be a "Next gen console".
Microsoft will get ripped apart in various gaming circles if they take that marketing angle.

Yeah, but our "gaming circles" are the minority.

But add up all the gaming circles. Then you start counting in Millions of gamers/enthusiasts.

Those who understand technology are generally those who help make purchasing decisions for friends and family, so that is the flow-on effect.

Basically, don't underestimate a minority, all those minorities is what helped push the Playstation 4 forward, Sony made all the right decisions at the right time, the gaming circles grabbed it and ran with it, the rest is history.

It's the power of "Word of mouth". It has made some businesses a success and even made some business's go bankrupt.
