NeoGaf likes to overreact about everything MS. There are still plenty of great games incoming.

Jesus, that music fucking murders that video. Its like a 15 year old edited it.
Gotta admit, the Xbone seems pretty clean and very nice.
Seems both consoles are gonna have a nice look to them.
+1 This post climbed inside my head and yanked out the exact words I was thinking of putting here. I didn't know GAF had other psychics on here....

That is true for the PS4 most likely. Xbox? I doubt it. MS changed 360's interface several times.

It doesnt matter how you cut it, MS is bringing it (once again) with online services for the X1. They did a great job with the X360 and I expect to be impressed all over again.
I really do hope we see some devs make interesting uses out of the server resources. I mean there are so many small ways it can be used that are obvious, makes excited to wonder what might happen. Oh how I wish I was working with consoles again... (rubble rubble)

Two random questions:
Do the voice commands work when speaking through a mic? If you've got a headset on for multiplayer do you have to speak loud enough for Kinect to hear you to use voice commands like snapping things to the screen?
Is there any limit to the apps you can snap while playing multiplayer games? Could I be watching some IGN videos while playing multiplayer? Not that I'd want to mind you, but am wondering if there are any limits to keep your connection quality up.

I'm in the same boat. Last week I was convinced I was canceling my Xbox One pre-order. Now I doubt I will. It's got the best launch titles and I love what they're showing of the UI/OS. And like you said, Titanfall soon. Also keeping the PS4 pre-order, but with no free DC and no WD, I'm less enthused about gaming on it at launch, but still excited about the new hardware.
I agree with your points. I also agree that the user interface is important.
I'm planning to use my Xbox One for more than just gaming, in line with how I've changed my entertainment habits as I get older and have less free time. I listen to more music and watch more streaming vids now. Also, I would love to be able to play an Xbox Live poker game (or any other game) snapped as I use Skype/Voice chat.
One thing I hope they integrate is customized voice commands...for instance, I actually like Kinect fitness software but they take too long to boot up and start (yeah, I'm lazy). If I come home from work and say, "Xbox Fitness" it would be awesome for the system to power up, recognize me, turn the TV on, and pick up my daily workout routine where I left off with full stat tracking. That would be extremely convenient and enticing.
