Not really, the XBOX One reveal wasn't "revealing" at all. Microsoft didn't focus on what was really important - the games! But I guess they're getting ready for E3 in a few weeks. Imho, Sony had a much better reveal of the PS4, even though we didn't get to see the console itself.

The XBOX One looks okay. I don't think Microsoft revealed all of the hardware (GPU_) but it looks like it'll be almost identical to the PS4 in terms of specs.

I'm very curious to see those proposed 15 new titles... Eh, I can't wait to watch E3 live from 07:30 PM to 07:00 AM here in Bulgaria. It's going to be epic!

We all know what the best thing about Xbox One is

[Brnmatt7]

The reveal was a complete disaster...

Microsoft says the Xbox One will require a mandatory installation onto the system’s hard drive for all games that are played on the console for the first time. If the same game disc is then played on an additional Xbox One console, or even a different Xbox Live account, the second user will have to pay a fee. <--- FUUUUUG THAT!!!

Well from the beginning microsoft and their partners didnt wanted than gamestop enjoys alot with the second handed game, so in essence dont have DRM, but locking methods against second hand games, sounds promising in some aspects but they literally kick in their own feet in the others as follows.

• No Backward compatible with 360 Games, different arquitecture.
  
• 8 GB RAM, 1.06 Ghz of processor, any high end computer can defeat the console on this, based on hardware characteristics
  
• Blu-ray unit, they loss against sony with HD-DVD so in the end they opted with Blu-Ray
  
• Microsoft stated than DRM methods will be in hands of the game developers, so its not freak than another game maker in adition than Ubilol, well ubisoft add always online on his game for the new system, since microsoft leaves the door open for this.

overall MS do alot of stuff for supposedly compensated with the locking of second hand games, but in my opinion is not enough, even the 360 sells too low in japan, now it's possible than the overall sales of the Xbox one will be low on the rest of the world, or depends what sony will do now and how they will counter the presentation of the Xbox one.

Time will tell

Meh, i think i'll be oriented on ps4, next year and at half price. Noone of both new consoles worth a single cent. My pc will handle 99% of their games even better (except exclusive console-only games, i'll not miss them)

FAIL!!!  but i am calling it right now... Xbox is going to set up an online "shop" where you can say "i would like to trade this game" and you'll get a message from another person saying "i will trade you this for it" then you can accept or decline, the digital rights will be transferred and viola... you just traded your game. NAILED IT!!!

thats why they keep getting there story confused about trading used games and such.  and sure, you could still trade in a used game.. it just wont be worth much without that code.

Your scenario made me vomit lol

Just because the hardware is lower quality doesn't mean it isn't utilized better than computer hardware. Specifically speaking Microsoft's operating system (Edit: To clear possible confusion OS used on the console not Windows 7 or 8 ect) can utilize that hardware on the console at comparable performances of my PC or better. Learn what you are talking about before making incorrect statements.

Well, am just comparing raw numbers, because everyone knows than Console OS utilize the resources better for the specific function of gaming, PC are different, a modern computer have more ram and processor than the console, even the 360 have more processor speed, in my case its low the processor speed well comparing with the 360 than its of 3.2 ghz  it's slow in the number, the pure number only, its your opinion, its my opinion.

data from here http://microsoft-new...hz-in-xbox-360/

Also it's like than sony will have the upper hand, and microsoft didn't handled well the polemic with the always online feature, in that matter MS do the thing wrong, at least sony made it clear in that aspect, overall let's see how both manufacturers prepare the consoles.

I'll have a 360 but what i'll saw today am not excited soo much, as i'll say again time will tell how the console how will be.
