1. So far most of the exclusives on the One are not good games. Forza has been played out for a long time now and Halo hasn't been good for several versions. Also, MSFT stated months ago that they are no longer focused on trying to get 3rd party exclusives because it costs too much which means the future of the One is even bleaker on this. The other exclusives are matched by PS4 exclusive series (Tomb Raider matched by Uncharted) and then outmatched by the rest of their exclusives which keep growing since the install base of consoles makes companies want to bring their games to it more.
2. Seriously? remap controller commands? This is for weak gamers and will not sell units.
3. Don't care about 360 games on the One, I already own a 360 that can play them.
4. Does nothing for the games, the thing I would buy a gaming console for.
Just another poor list that isn't going to win anyone over. MSFT is so focused on the bells and whistles that its even paying the gaming media to hype up the bells and whistles. Gamers want games, they buy consoles based on games...not because it has fuzzy dice hanging on the rear view mirror.
@haze0986: Did you not see the part where it says that MSFT worked with the XBOX team to make this?!?
Last time I checked, Xbox was the name of the video GAME subsidiary of MSFT...that deals with...GAMES...there is NO POINT in ever getting anything remotely close to this powerful if you don't play games...the thing you said this is not for.
Also, for HALF this price, anyone can get a gaming laptop close to these specs. Its at a premium price because MSFT believes that everyone needs a laptop and a table in one device.
Forget it. I would get a better full laptop and a better full tablet for far less and not have to deal with MSFTs idiotic universal crap forcing companies to make everything to work on the lowest common denominator. Hybrid garbage, that is MSFTs future.
@nomailx: While I agree with staying away from this thing that is way way way overpriced...what garbage brand gaming rig did you buy that burned out in a few months and why didn't you get it replaced?!?
I would only take something made by Cyberpower if it was free. One of the single worst PC makers out there that screw their customers over on their service contracts constantly. Tons of complaints against them and their practices. Would avoid at all costs.
The article was a good read but wow...click bait title shows how weak the author thinks his work is.
In the end, the PS3 sold more hardware and software and that is all this article is going to get just to make the work look as weak as the title makes it sound.
@jerjef: It doesn't matter what current owners of a system vote for...its the reasons why people ARE NOT BUYING a system that matters.
MSFT doesn't understand why so many previous Xbox owners are not buying the One, Sony cant figure out why so many are buying the PS4...the media doesn't report on why yet its right there on every single gaming forum on the web.
MSFT didn't make a game console. they made an entertainment system and made that its focus and the proof is in the hardware, in its launch and in what they are currently doing.
Gamers want GAMES. GAMES. More GAMES and they want a system that can play them the best for the money they are spending. The Xbox One doesn't deliver, will never deliver that. Its too late. its already been made and the hardware wont change.
Also, the only people that say graphics aren't everything are people with hardware that cannot display great graphics and last gen were talking about how the 360 can display better graphics than the PS3 and Wii.
