Ah ok. I suppose that is a real concern on Gaf. I should probably follow suit lol
you dont have to worry, it's only a concern if you're say, for example, constantly intellectually dishonest

And yet, MS is not showing any of that "new and different" stuff.
I've heard people say "Xbox record that" irl when making an amazing basketball shot or other real life feats.
So regarding the whole 'most powerful has never won' thing. Has the most powerful also ever been the cheapest of the major competitors at launch?
Pretty sure people talk PS1 versus Saturn as PS1 was cheaper and more powerful
I think Gamecube versus PS2 also works but might be more time between those consoles releases
I mostly agree... MS hasn't been able to show consumers why they should spend the extra $100 and Sony has done a good job of showing extra value and being cheaper.
But I do know people who purchased an XB1 just for the fitness app and I've heard people say "Xbox record that" irl when making an amazing basketball shot or other real life feats.
meaning MS is not out of the game... They just need a couple more titanfall esque games and something that consumers will rally around the Kinect for... Like the next 1 vs 100.
Even then, the demo stations don't show you much. I tried one at Best Buy and they only let me play a game. No voice features were activated.They spent so much time trying to re-explain how the system works after the controversy that they had little chance to bring the focus as to why it's worth $100 more. It's also taken months just to bring features the XBox 360 had. It didn't help matters that Kinect Sports was delayed too.
I still want to try the system out but no stores in my area have one set-up. They have Wii U and the PS4 though to try. Sounds like a system that you really need to try first.
what gets me about the kinect is how microsoft seems to have got it into so many peoples' heads that kinect = voice controls
they could have stuck a mic on the front of the console and had the same exact thing for 100 dollars less

Why the hell then is MS not been advertising the fitness app? I have never seen an ad for it. The only way I feel your friends know about it is either word of mouth or because they are more hardcore gamers than casual.
Not sure if 1 vs 100 is the killer app the Kinect needs right now, we were talking about a new and different experience.
Maybe lack of content? What they have is great but I wa expecting to be able to do the whole P090X program not just two workouts.
See I have no idea what is even included, and it is really only 2 workouts from P90X? Jesus.
Omg! I would love another 1vs100. I used to plan my day around that. We would have friends come over and make a thing of it. Good times. I have also taken to telling my other electronics to turn on and off. Also play and pause is fantastic to just say and have it work.I mostly agree...

1 vs 100 with Kinect would be my killer app. Seriously MS should just bite the bullet, keep Kinect and drop it by $100. Going disc drive less makes more sense than dropping the Kinect.
I don't understand how Microsoft could release the xbone+kinect system without having a killer Kinect app to go with it. It boggles my mind.
Xbox, go to Star Trek into darkness is the killer app where have you been?
No interest in a Xbox One at all at this point. PS4 is great for console games. The Xbox exclusives never did it for me.
Everytime somebody mentions how they use the Kinect, it's always voice commands. Drop the camera, build in a microphone array to the console and drop $70 off the price, while still maintaining what people use it for.

saturn killed itself though and fast. snes was more powerful than genesis and won i believe. sony was going to win this gen regardless since they are strong worldwide and there is no headstart this time.
So if consoles were reversed and Sony were putting out the One under their name, sony would win regardless?
I previously suggested that Microsoft make a Xbox One with a built-in microphone and call it "Kinect Air".
Keep the voice navigation, which is really what they're selling now, and ditch the HAL 9000.
Oh please Gary Bettman grant me the strength to endureOh, lets have a look on Sony: they've been rated as 'Junk' and rubbish at stock exchange, they have no money, they are selling PC division and excluding TV, selling company buildings etc. pp.
And what about Nintendo: Even though they still have good cash on the banks, they're screwing up massively with Wii U and 3DS isn't as promising as they wish to be plus their foray into health business? Rly?
Why I'm writing this down? Because I'm f*cking SICK of the constanteous bash of Microsoft and the Xbox One. In fact Windows Phone and Surface are gorgeous products if you spent more than 5 minutes with the devices and their distinct features. Same counts for XOne even though I admit that it has some flaws and really bad PR (at least during last years E3), but I can't hear nor read anymore shit about resolutiongate, PR and how Microsoft is fucking up with their products because that is clearly not the case. Just look at the competitors and then you see who is really fucking up. Sony, beside PlayStation, is a ship already nearly sunken and Nintendo is driving itself into oblivion while Iwata gives a FUCK about it but instead is creating 'health business'.
Seriously guys, think about it.
Fuck. Yes.Oh please Gary Bettman grant me the strength to endure

Google the RL name on that Kickstarter page. Find Twitter profile with the same photo and a slew of Xbone marketing retweets.
You know, similar to what we discovered late last year.
At the very least, last year's batch of virals and wanna-be's made it interesting. This shit is amateur hour. Stop it. Now.
