When I was watching the "reveal" I thought the whole thing was a joke and they were going to say "Just kidding, here's what it REALLY looks like and here are the Games..." But it didn't happen.
And I was like WTF with all the freaking clapping and cheering, even when the Guy on stage moved his arms and things happened on screen... like, who the hell is clapping that?
Well.....

So the press were completely silent and the cheering was coming from the back. Where all the on campus MS employees were standing.
Absolute-worst-"console"-unveil----EVER!
And Xbox ONE? We've had that already. Infinity was MUCH better and I even thought that was a bit cheesy.
And why if its ONE is everything in two's..
Two Tone casing effect (that makes it look like two mismatching VCR's from the 90's taped together)
Two Boxes for TV "One box for all" yet you still need a cable box with HDMI pass thru (or most likely a sky box in UK) to OVERLAY the TV... That's right, that MASSIVE box has no inbuilt TV tuner! Its just full of hot air. Why didn't they build in the hardware and add a CAM slot? Expense? for ONE box? Maybe they will unveil a second version thats more expensive with hardware built in, lets see...
Minus all the arm flapping and talking gimikery, i've been doing this TV stuff quite nicely with PS3 and Play TV since 2008 thank you very much. And real features like being able to record in background whilst I play a game is 100 times more appealing to me than all the flapping.
MS took all the worst things Sony did with PS3 and magnified them all 10 times over.
As for the physical boxes. No point comparing hardware anymore, its all a massive pile of boring in each box, they are so similar its almost pointless that there are two boxes in the first place. total waste of alternate packaging and development.
As its been stated, exclusives will decide.
And MS have 15!! 8 original.... so how many of these 8 will be for Kinect 2? Lets see. They have a massive hole to dig themselves out of and I really hope for the sake of competition that MS DO pull some seriously sheet hot games out the bag!
First impressions last, and MS didn't shy from the fact that Gaming for them is second or even third behind other "Features".
