Thats a great commercial, but the timing seems off.

If you don't have an X1 pre-ordered at this point, you aren't going to get one on Nov 22nd. Heck, you probably won't be able to find one on a store shelf until 2014.

People who aren't aware of the X1 yet (aka the people this commercial is aimed at) will see the commercial, try to go to gamestop/best buy/walmart to get one, and the guy behind the counter will go "oh you would have needed to pre-order this a while ago to get it on the 22nd"

Still, its a well done commercial, got me hyped for football

 1. you understand that you can't watch NFL on xbone without already having a cable service with a subscription to ESPN right?  this changes nothing about what content you have access to.  it's not a matter of going to the game or getting an xbox.  it's a matter of paying $500 + $60 a year in xbl to watch the same games that the ESPN subscriber already has access to just without the fantasy football stats on the side.  is that really a compelling offer to you?

2. ..and just because you say it doesn't make it true.  but i know i don't answer any calls during a game.  whatever it is it can wait.

3. have you not seen the screens?  it is damn intrusive imo...    i'd rather have half my screen back especially as a majority of the score updates are already part of the brocast.

That's actually not what I said at all. You, as well as many in here, are simply allowing your fanhood to cloud your ability to find my argument (despite my many attempts to clarify for you). Remove your head from the clouds and read what I say.

I am saying that people not interested in gaming will not plop down $500 for the non-gaming features. It's not that type of device...it falls way short in that regard. The Venn diagram was intended to be used to make this explicitly clear for you. I mean, you're welcome to disagree with that analysis, but I think you have unrealistic expectations. 

My guess is that if Microsoft had any kind of agreement with a football association, they would likely gear it toward that culture. 

And if you don't have Internet, how they hell are you on this forum?

If I market a toaster by showing its ability to check email, that's a rather inept way of advertising a product that toasts things no?

I think your analogy is quite disingenuous to what the Xbox One does. These are side features that enhance the product...it isn't incorporating any other main features. It does not offer TV services - it simply enhances already paid for services. 

So let me get this straight.  Console connects to TV.  Console can serve gamers, music, Videos, Pictures, Ondemand content from other providers, Cable TV, maybe even over the air.  Now the TV can allow you to do video conference.  Since this device can host all of these services that all are media content, now it can allow you to watch a game, conference in a friend or friends, allow you to keep up to day on your fantasy stats all at the same time.  Seems to me its all synergistic

I think you are not fully looking at what the X1 and XBL does.  Its a service and these are all services that work with a device that contents to a TV which is the center of a lot of homes entertaiment.  It doesn't have to offer anything it consolidates them all within one devices that manages those services.  People have already invested in other services, no need to replace them.

Thanks for agreeing with me that it does not provide the other services, only enhance existing ones. That's what I've been saying the entire time. Remove your head from the clouds, sir.

Hiyooooo, it's already working. What color are you again, red, blue, green? Where did you pre-order from?

What makes you think there won't be consoles available at launch?

"Day One" consoles are a limited availability console and only available for pre-order.  What will be available at the stores are regular bundles.
