[QUOTE="profitius, post: 570885, member: 41524"] I'm fairly underwhelmed about the xbox one and having taking a little time to look at it I don't think I'll be getting one. It looks to be a device that will appeal to many people but I think they might have messed it up big time because the people they should be focusing on are gamers! Microsofts stock price went down after the announcement while nintendos and Sonys went up. I hoped it would be a powerful machine with great games but what we have is a machine that isn't anywhere near the power of the top PCs out today therefore in a few years time it will look very outdated. It does have lots of things like using voice command to change the channels, in game skype and Kinect 2 etc but they're just gimmicks as far as I'm concerned. Thats what you're paying for it seems. The games won't be a massive leap for the last generation and the last generation is 8 years old now. When the xbox 360 and PS3 came out they were far ahead of the PCs at that time and it took PCs a few years to catch up. They're starting off now BEHIND PCs which is a slap in the face for gamers. You also need an internet connect on constantly or a lot of the time or it doesn't work. That alienates a large section of the world and second hand games etc are no more it seems. So they're really screwing over consumers. To sum it up what microsoft have created is a system designed to take on Apple and google etc. Its gone away from its roots and in my opinion the PS4 has been the big winner among gamers. I have an xbox 360 and liked it. Its my second one because the original crashed. I can get over that but I feel the new machine is ripping people off so I won't be buying it. I'm also keeping an eye out for the steam box. Thats something valve are said to be working on and if it packs some serious hardware then it could give the xbox one and PS4 a run for their money. Its basically a PC thats shrunk and designed to fit onto the back of your TV. [/QUOTE]
