Enthusiast PC gamers are tiny part of the gaming marketshare. Maybe 7-8% being generous.

It's because:

1. More focused on TV (sports) and Kinect nonsense than showing the games.

2. No gameplay shown for the games they did reveal.

3. The box is beyond ugly.

4. The name 'Xbox One' is insanely bad.

5. Xbox One is fairly underpowered compared to the PS4.

6. M$ are burdening every Xbox One owner with Kinect.

7. Having to install every game to the console for M$'s permission to play your game.

8. M$ will charge a fee for used games.

9. Controller still takes AA batteries.

10. Must be connected to the internet at least once a day even if you just want to play a single player game.

11. Still have to pay to play online (don't know why I thought that would change, maybe after the Xbox One fails they make it free next time).

12. It's not backwards compatible, I get why PS4 isn't because it's a completely different architecture but I expected Xbox One to be.

I love my Xbox 360 but personally I'm glad M$ dropped the ball so hard, now I can save loads of money and not buy multiple consoles again. PS4, you will be mine day one. Xbox One, when there's a smaller version under £150 with loads of games I'd be interested in owning you, that won't happen for a LONG time, so meh.

I'd see it more as selling you're membership to a service. If I have to have daily authorization to use something I don't see myself as owning it, though I do realise not everything falls clearly into a black and white ownership situation for me personally this feels more like a service.

I only consider it as owning games on the PC if I have a DRM copy of it that the publisher cannot prevent me from playing. Games I buy on steam I consider myself paying for access to the game rather than having ownership of the game.

I'm really extremely disappointed, hopefully someone new enters the ring soon, because I dislike all of the new consoles.

Edit: One thing I can't stand in this thread though is the blatent hypocrital bs about BC, no console except the nintendo one, just like this gen, and of course the xbone doesn't have BC it had a totally different cpu architecture, powerpc vs x64.

Your right they dont want a Steam Box.

They want an Xbox One and dont care about the Steam like features.

Sorry, didn't make my last post too clear. I meant with DRM. Xbox ONE wasn't the first "console" to have it. As for the hardware thing, I thought it was a 50/50 thing... Might look it up.

LOL!

Lol, just look at the sig of the majority of these bad comment posts :)
It says everything. Myself and my entourage who is already like the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live have nothing to complain about...
The only thing that may bother few of us (not myself as I do not buy used game) is the used game thing but again it will be the same with the PS4...

Overall, we were all VERY impressed with the Xbox One. I cannot wait for E3 to see the games too.

MSFT isn't keeping you from playing the game.  You are allowed to do with the game as you wish.  It is just like steam with the verification on the install.  However you can not resell games on steam or PC at all.  This allows you to resell your games.  So in other words it is like Steam but with a little more options.  The whole topic has been blown out of proportion as this is nothing new.  Just for consoles.  Sony has even said they are letting publisher/developers do the same thing.  This generation will change the way console gaming is forever no doubt about it.  But im sure both MSFT and Sony will offer great games that gives people a reason to buy these consoles FOR GAMERS.

AHAH nice one
