I completly agree with this. I wouldn't mind a weaker Nextbox if it has Win8 and Kinect 2 on board. Since both PS4 and Nextbox will resemble pcs alot I hope the ports are easy to down/upscale, I'd rather have PS4 get pc ports than 720.

I think it would benefit MS if they had it where you could switch OSs between the NeXbox OS and Windows 7 (not 8).  However, rumors suggest that they are focusing on having the NeXbox help push Windows 8 by using it as the main OS.  This will probably turn quite a few people off, if true.

Best we could get with Nextbox is Windows RT I think where we would not be able to download any 3rd party programs, but jast as on the Surface tablets people will fix this. I have the feeling the Nextbox will also have the metro interface, and that interface will resemble this:

And what happens if the PS4/Nextbox launch to the same underwhelming numbers as the past three systems released (3DS/Vita/Wii U)? I'm beginning to sense that these next gen systems are just not what the general public wants yet aside from core gamers, and it's going to take time for all of the to meet expectations.
