The Xbox one? How did they mess this up? by kuto

Warning: read the whole thing before you comment.

Before i share what i think about the xbox one( formally the xbox 720) I have to say that of all the things to name your console, You had to name it the xbox one?  Ok now back to the matter at hand, This may have been one of the worst reveal to a console i've personally seen in years. There is literally no reason the get this thing whatsoever. Here are some reason this console and conference fail.

You are forced to be online at least once a day just to play your games offline otherwise. You can let a friend borrow a game since you'll have to pay a fee to play it on your friends xbox one, Basically there will be no used games. No backwards compatibility whatsoever with 360 games. Little to no games were shown at the conference. The kinect is still to be a priority to microsoft despite most people don't like it.

One thing i also noticed about this console is you are required to install the games like you would a pc game, Why would you require someone to enter a key and install and game on a console. But unlike the pc, you cant install the xbox one games multiple times( once you install it, its useless unless you pay a fee). Thankfully most people can clearly see the xbox one is a ripoff and are not buying it(sony and nintendo's stocks went up after this conference, no joke).

Now i know theres going to be someone who'll disagree with what i have to say but just say it, I like to debate. I'd like to know what do you guys think about the xbox one and everything revealed about it?

edit: it turns out the applause was fake, no joke http://n4g.com/news/1261938/scandal-applause-and-cheering-at-the-xbox-one-reveal-didnt-come-from-the-press

    I agree...I wasn't too impressed with the Xbox conference myself even. When they showed what it can do with 'voice activation' like I want to do that to my games. XBOX PLAY GAME. XBOX WATCH TV. XBOX GO FUCK YOURSELF. Like come on.....if you have the damn windows open people can hear you barking orders to a fucking game console. it's ridiculous! What ever happened to just going to your box and turning the fucking thing on that way. Oh yeah, it's futuristic. Like right now we're suppose to have houses and apartments with voice activation but we don't. So why the heck should a game console? The controller seriously looks WAY too big, more bigger than the 360 and paying a fee to play a game you had PURCHASED in the first place is indeed a rip off. I'm not going to pay for a game I had already paid for to begin with. Nobody will want that. Who wants to pay $20 bucks to play a game for 5 minutes. A waste of money. Indeed Xbox has failed miserably...and guess what, they're already determining they will sell over one million copies. Pffff, Good luck with that! Atari did the same thing back in 1983 when they made a shit load of Pacman cartridges cause they thought they would sell like hotcakes due to the arcade success.....BOY were they wrong....Xbox will be the same bloody way when they realize nobody is buying the Xbox One. Christ, even Nintendo is having difficulties with the WII U right now!!!

    I have already all but turned in my xbox membership badge. A friend told me "Wait till E3, wait Till E3, all of these things are fake" I can Only HOPE as someone on youtube put it "Xbox comes out and says: Yeah all those things about the xbox one that you hated? We did that on purpose to troll you" I can only pray that this is one big troll trap and they reveal the REAL xbox at E3, But from what I have seen, I will be focussing more on my Wii U, Cancelling my xbox pre-order for BF4, and Assuming they dont shape up, will be trading in my Xbox (Got the LE Halo Edition Console) for maybe a PS4, Also Plan to spend alot more time when I get my new 3DS and Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Not to mention Pokemon X/Y)

    Either way, Xbox has given all of its supporters a big old middle finger and says "We dont need you anymore, We now have ESPN and Fantasy Leagues"

    No Wonder |the Xbox One is being officially Nicknamed the "Bro Box"

    Well I IAint no Bro, and they have lost me as a customer, Way to fuck up and alienate your consumer base microsoft.

      I'm still baffled that theres people defending this microshaft blunder. It makes no sense to me whatsoever. As for myself its going to be my pc and wii u, at least i know there will be games.
