Uh, he was right about most of the stuff guys.
how do you know that? the video is titled with 'predictions' after all.
SniperHunter is kind of a jerk, though. I didn't say Kotaku was wrong about always on, actually said I believed it because Adam Orth got fired. I called Kotaku's prediction that there were cancelled games for Xbox One "dumb, dumb, dumb", and asked "who comes up with this shit?". When told it was Kotaku, I said "they print this shit and people click on it?" I have since apologized to Stephen Totilo for mocking his site, but I still think that Kotaku article was dumb.
Yes, I have a day job. I got to Seattle at 12:44 a.m. Tuesday morning, up for Best Buy earnings at 4:15, wrote a note and went to MS at 9 a.m. I left the MS event at 1:45 for a 3:15 flight to LA, landed at 6 and met John Ricitiello for dinner. I actually went home, wrote two notes, got to bed at 11:30 and was up at 4:30 for our morning call, then breakfast with another CEO, then worked all day and home at 5:30. Today, I have GameStop and Pandora reporting, and I haven't checked Twitter since I left Seattle.
I opened NeoGAF to read about what you all think of the Xbox One, and am surprised at the general sense of entitlement (the dreaded "E" word) among so many of you. As a group, NeoGAF appears to have written off the Xbox One because they didn't show enough games, and because you all already know how to watch TV and use Skype. I used the term "entitlement" because the general sense on the Internetz is that nobody believes Microsoft will actually deliver 15 exclusives, of which 8 are new IP, within the launch window. The entitled ones demand that they be shown everything, and that they be shown it NOW.
It is shocking to me to see this reaction. If Phil Spencer said there are 15 games, my guess is that he can name all of them. Articles on the Internetz calling Microsoft's showing "underwhelming" are just a bunch of whining. The box was spectacular, it does a lot of things that many consumers will find appealing, and oh, by the way, there is apparently a lot of new software. I am pretty sure that Microsoft will tell us about its games some day before they come out, and am equally sure we'll hear a lot more about them at E3. But since that's 3 weeks away, the wait is just unbearable.
Yes, I'm around. Yes, I'm busy. And yes, many of you on NeoGAF are entitled whiners.
I'll probably be gone for the rest of the day.
Everyone was talking about those things, so either someone knew and leaked, or he heard it and just repeated. Since he has poor judgment on what to believe, logic says it's inside info.
That's a lot of entitlement for one post. It only took me one to get me banned. And calling us whiners too. Class.SniperHunter is kind of a jerk, though.

Probably the best post you've made on here.The minute when your cat farts and switches your game over to a skinemax film, you might not be so happy with this new box.

He couldn't keep dat spin, by the end of the XBONE conference he just vanished into the air
he acknowledges that there were rumours of always online swirling around and he decided to believe in them while most of gaf thought it wouldn't happen.
what are your requirements for a valid prediction? no rumours, no analysis, just pulling a new idea out of no where?
skype was useless all this time,finally with xbox1 it has reason to exist.....

What did Riccitello order for dinner? Give us the juicy details
Lol yeah he definitely was, some accurate analysis by Pach-man.
Ok, the lack of games will be fixed at E3.
How about some of these other issues (from another thread):
"Confirmed" Issues:
- Forced online activation for all games
- Massive emphasis on TV, services and non game related focus
- Live TV services available in US only at launch, requires separate device
- No self publishing for indie devs
- No headset included
- Over emphasis on Kinect interface
- Xbox One not being backwards compatible with the 360 games or accessories.
- Microsoft's failed attempts to correct PR with contradicting FAQ's, vague responses, misinformation.
Hardware:
- DDR3 confirmed instead of GDDR5
- Potentially Only 5GB of the 8GB ram available for games
- Only HDMI for output.
- 3 OS's? At best, confusing, at worst, a nightmare.
- Kinect needed to be plugged in for Xbox One to function
- Non-replaceable Hard Drive (though not as much an issue, as external drives are supported similar to other consoles)
- Console uses a large external power brick (Conflirmed by DF/Wired)
- Console is not designed to be placed on it's side
Problems with the announcement itself:
- EA games prerendered using in game assets
- COD looked less than stellar
- Quantum break reveal was confusing
Unconfirmed issues that still need clarification:
- How much is this gonna cost?
- Complex used games system that is anti consumer?
- How the hell does game borrowing work?
- Charged fee for playing used games on non linked profile?
- Console that needs to be connected to internet every 24 hrs to play games? (Phil Harrison says one thing, ms backtracked a bit later)
What you do when you make a fool out of yourself is to lay low and wait for it all to blow over.

.
Some of these are actual issues that need fixing. Some don't apply only to X1. Some I can understand folks being concerned about but I dont care one way or another, like the power brick or console placed on its side. But all in all a very well put together list. MS has its work cut out because this shit isn't going to stay only on gaming sites. Mainstream perception is at stake and they clearly didn't see this coming.

Are there people who are upset ms didn't name all 15 games?
I think people were upset because they sold the the xbone as a hand waving tv remote with ir blaster, fantasy football league aid, and EA sports machine without actually addressing anything that people care about, eg used games, tech inside.
Its weird how industry types think this thing is so awesome when regular people are mostly meh or fuck that.
Well to be fair we're not "regular people", we're enthusiasts. I personally think that the One is going to sell really well to the masses, especially if it's offered on subscription through cable providers.
I'll wait for E3 before deciding but right now I'm not really interested in where MS is going with their next-gen box.

I am pretty sure that Microsoft will tell us about its games some day before they come out, and am equally sure we'll hear a lot more about them at E3. But since that's 3 weeks away, the wait is just unbearable.
Yes, I'm around. Yes, I'm busy. And yes, many of you on NeoGAF are entitled whiners.
I'll probably be gone for the rest of the day.
SniperHunter is kind of a jerk, though. I didn't say Kotaku was wrong about always on, actually said I believed it because Adam Orth got fired. I called Kotaku's prediction that there were cancelled games for Xbox One "dumb, dumb, dumb", and asked "who comes up with this shit?". When told it was Kotaku, I said "they print this shit and people click on it?" I have since apologized to Stephen Totilo for mocking his site, but I still think that Kotaku article was dumb.
Yes, I have a day job. I got to Seattle at 12:44 a.m. Tuesday morning, up for Best Buy earnings at 4:15, wrote a note and went to MS at 9 a.m. I left the MS event at 1:45 for a 3:15 flight to LA, landed at 6 and met John Ricitiello for dinner. I actually went home, wrote two notes, got to bed at 11:30 and was up at 4:30 for our morning call, then breakfast with another CEO, then worked all day and home at 5:30. Today, I have GameStop and Pandora reporting, and I haven't checked Twitter since I left Seattle.
I opened NeoGAF to read about what you all think of the Xbox One, and am surprised at the general sense of entitlement (the dreaded "E" word) among so many of you. As a group, NeoGAF appears to have written off the Xbox One because they didn't show enough games, and because you all already know how to watch TV and use Skype. I used the term "entitlement" because the general sense on the Internetz is that nobody believes Microsoft will actually deliver 15 exclusives, of which 8 are new IP, within the launch window. The entitled ones demand that they be shown everything, and that they be shown it NOW.
It is shocking to me to see this reaction. If Phil Spencer said there are 15 games, my guess is that he can name all of them.

XbonedWell, he and Game Trailers were big supporters of Microsoft in the last weeks.
I mean, I remember THIS PREDICTION and a lot more from him, praising Microsoft against Sony.
He told us he would go to Xbone reveal... but after that... NOTHING.
In his Twitter account he has said nothing since May 21th in fact.
I really wanted to hear him being wrong AGAIN.

- Kinect needed to be plugged in for Xbox One to function
What the hell is this true? I was planning to leave that shit in the box forever.
