I dunno, but the Kinect version of the joystick use in 'Daley Thompson's Decathlon' or 'Track & Field', coupled with some of the more 'burlesque' web sites *cough* paints a hilarious picture in my head... :rofl3
I wonder if there's an app for that?
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".
Am i right in guessing you'll be buying a PS4 then?
MS have never released a console called 'Xbox One'... It was Xbox and then Xbox 360
. I'm guessing they called it 'One' as it's meant to be an 'all in one' system, but that's just my guess. I'm not particularly impressed with the specs of either the PS4 or Xbox One, but i'm hoping to see a bit more from both (especially when it comes to actual gameplay footage)... I'm actually leaning towards Sony for this generation 
.
I am not too worried about game footage for the next gen right now.
I remember the launch games for the 360 included Perfect Dark Zero. When you compare that to a new title now, the difference is very clear. Programmers got clever and maximised the hardware.
Time to get saving for launch, decision over which to adopt must be made

Ive had my reservations about both tbh, but after Sonys event and this, i'm leaning very much towards PS4. If some decent games start coming out, then a Wii U as well. I Hope E3 can paint a full and more positive picture.

I wasn't too impressed with the Xbox One reveal (it got boring)... It seemed they were focusing too much on the multimedia side of things and not enough on actual gaming! It's basically a HTPC in my eyes at the moment :roll:.

Agreed. I want a game system, not an entertainment hub. It's great if they have those features, but the games are what are usually what are most important to current XBOX owners.

the game releases and info are supposed to be revealed at e3
This is good reading from a CNET article I just read about the NG consoles which echos my own personal thoughts.

Those may be perfectly accurate observations, but that doesn't mean I have to accept these developments.

Have done. But that's hardly the path a console manufacturer would want me to take now, is it?
Personally, I'm more excited about consoles like Ouya and indie markets these days with a few exceptions, which I'll keep to my PC for.
Console makers are going to suffer this gen I think. Maybe here is where companies like EA will start learning some lessons.

Hmm
It's a bit funny don't you think?
A lof of us, my self included, wanted more game focus at the reveal and snikered at MS for focusing so much at TV.
But seriously?
They've only thing they've done is listening to the users.
How many of us haven't googled on how to jailbrake our consoles to make them into entertainment hubs, and installing xmbc etc?
So I think some of the bad wibes that MS are getting, is just knee jerk reactions that they will always get, being MS and all.
Now, I'm not saying Xbox one is good. It's not bad either. I loved the fluent way it switched between tasks.
But seriously, a world wide console, and then model it on services only available in US? And TV broadcast is dying, it you model it around TV content, focus on streaming services not broadcasting services ffs...
But okay, either way.
With PS4 and Xbox One, I think fan bois of any persuation are going to see brighter times than before...

@Novacoder: Just because it's an article on CNet doesn't make it right or accurate. Some is accurate, some is speculation, and some is just bull
It doesn't change the fact that MS have misjudged their initial audience completely either.
It's MY car! Sure, but if you want to lend it to your sister, she has to pay a 5% driver's fee!

CNet are inside Microsofts Pockets so you might as well say it's MS talking. They always come out with BS stories like that when MS have bad press.
And I feel exactly the same about the Wii U now so can understand if people were holding off to hear about what all 3 had to show before taking the plunge.
The first machine I will buy is Ouya (Even though my enthusiasm got a bit dampened with the early models hardware issues on the Joypad). I completely agree with their philosophy and want to support this. The fact that it costs virtually nothing makes it a no brainer too. If the Wii U wasn't so expensive i'd have impulse-bought that by now too, but Nintendo either have to bring that price RIGHT down or bring out a killer game or two first.

I'm hoping that they sort it out with the Retail models due out in June. The other problem was lag. Its a real shame the early adopters have to deal with these issues and I hope that if Ouya get the issues sorted the replace pads for anyone that has these issues now.
The lag I think is software related, the Buttons sticking and analogue stick issues are not.
But I take my hat off to Ouya, they've managed to keep to their deadlines. And having the former Prez of thatgamecompany as Dev outreach is a BIG Boost! I can see many unique and awesome games coming to Ouya.

Sure, but it's much easier to keep deadlines, when you skimper on quality control
I have no doubt they'll sort out the controller issues, but being such a prominent part of the package, I have no clue how there would even be any issues.
What's the lag about? Input lag?
