Don't you mean the new Watercooler?
I honestly think, even though they're doing pretty poorly when it comes to games at the moment, the best next-gen console is the WiiU, the the PS4, then the Xbox One. Thing that sucks for the PS4, is that it's rumored to be download only. Used games are a HUGE part of the gaming market and these guys are going to single-handedly destroy a huge chunk of the industry. I'm more likely to get a PS4 than an Xbox One. I'm not impressed. Also, none of the "trailers" are that enticing. With the PS4, we saw things like Second Sons. The only interesting thing here looked like COD: Ghosts, but 1) it's not an exclusive and 2) it's a Call of Duty game, which means it probably won't be all that different than every other COD game.
Post of the Year.
You tell them lol. I only hope our gamer tags and profiles will be transferred. It would stink to lose all of our friends and downloads.
The system looks horrible. its hardly a "gaming" console. Its a TV cable box with internet. LOL the sports crap made me laugh so hard. They didnt even touch on the rumors have having to always be online or the "cant play used games" rumor. I'm an xbox guy, but i think im going to get a ps4 instead.

I don't like a lot of business decisions Microsoft makes with the Xbox (Paying for XBL, pushing Kinect so hard) and very few Xbox exclusive games have ever interested me. I'll probably never get one, especially if Xbox Live is still a paid thing and you still can't use even the most basic online features without it. I could rant about how Microsoft shouldn't charge for XBL all day so I'll just stop here...
(Also you have to pay XBL subscription cost over other services like Netflix just to use them. No thanks)

Based on that conference I won't be going near this. It was pretty much aimed at sports loving Americans, both of which I am not. In terms of what they showed it's a Sky box that plays games?

Stupidest name ever. Xbox One? What were they thinking?

Yeah, I think this game might be even more confusing to people than Wii u. I get that they'll probably have a marketing slogan like "It's the ONE thing you'll need" but the name is kinda dumb.

Sony has already revealed their PS4 months ago. Showed off some hardware and a good bit of games.
It was MUCH better than the BS Microsoft pulled today.
Expect Sony to own E3 this year, and Nintendo being up there too with their Directs.

Additionally, one article I read states that you can play used games, but it may require a fee depending on whether it's been previously installed to someone's HDD or something like that.
Keep in mind E3 isn't too far off, hopefully by getting all this other stuff out of the way they can use the conference to focus more on games.
(Hopefully.)
I like how of all the possible things to criticize the Xbox for, you chose the name. (Personally, I think the Wii U takes the cake.)

I won't be getting the system. I've been sitting here with my Xbox 360 mainly buying games I could have bought for PS3. I barely have any Xbox only games. I'm going to end up buying a PS3 because those exclusive titles were games I really wanted to play. Comparing the two systems, I should have just got a PS3 and gotten more fun out of it. |: As for this generation, maybe later on I'll get a PS4, but there's no way in heck I'm touching another Xbox system.
