They got the A/V form factor, but where was the green?

Green as in energy efficient?

TDP 100 Watt? Pretty green to me.

Microsoft exec Yusuf Mehdi thinks 400M to "potentially upwards of a billion" next-gen consoles (the Xbox One and rival systems)

"Every generation, as you've probably heard, has grown approximately 30%," he said. "So this generation is about 300 million units. Most industry experts think the next generation will get upwards of about 400 million units. That's if it's a game console, over the next decade."

Moreover, Medhi thinks the general entertainment capabilities of Xbox One and PS4 will more than double their selling power. "We think you can go broader than a game console, that's our aim, and you can go from 400 million to potentially upwards of a billion units [Update: just to clarify, he's talking about all next gen consoles combined here]. That's how we're thinking of the Xbox opportunity as we go forward."

Microsoft claims the console will (via Kinect) be able to detect new faces in a room, and allow Skype contacts to remotely take over a game. 3) AMD's deal to supply a Jaguar CPU/GPU for the Xbox One is worth $3B+, per former AMD and current Nvidia exec Bob Feldstein. (previous)

AGAIN, Microsoft speculated in this 4/2010 leak that Sony would support Google TV. The Xboxone has many of the hardware features of a Google TV like HDMI pass-thru and a IR blaster port.

HDMI pass-thru and IR blaster are not needed with RVU which is a FCC mandate for cable companies by June 2014. Sony released Nanse in Japan which is a OTA or Cable Gateway device (with cable card support) that supports RVU/DVR. It is not known if Sony will also have a HDMI pass-thru and IR blaster.

I've done some experimenting and read up on Google TV and the IR blaster to cable boxes is the weak link; it can get out of sync. Most TVs that support CEC and Home Theatre receivers have unique command codes for turn on and off while the cable box is a toggle on-off. IR Remote control is also flaky. Best would be standards for blutooth and WiFi remote control. CEC commands are going to be expanded and the FCC mandate for RVU also requires pass-thru of remote commands through the LAN to the gateway device. With all platforms compliant then there is no need for a IR Remote, WiFi to CEC and CEC to LAN/Wifi in the PS4.

299 price point? Not so much.

True, they dropped the subsidy idea. But everything else ?

Scary. I don't know how they expect to sell this vision at 499
