No one is going to pay $500 and $60 a year to watch TV shows....

This is xbox fitness all over again.

That's not E3 tho so your point is mute
150 people dedicated to this. That's one AAA studio if we look at a company like Sucker Punch. What would you rather have? Their focus is all over the place.
I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. If they're finding ways to expand and offer more entertainment on their consoles, what's wrong with it? They delivered the games so far, so if they keep it up while offering multimedia content that I might like, why complain?
That's not a video from E3 2013. E3 isn't in May, is it?
Here are the highlights from the Microsoft Xbox One event that was held on May 21st 2013
No their initial reveal sucked because TVTVTVTV, their E3 sucked because $500 + DRM + MS Reps looking like douchebags because they were tasked with either defending the company's untenable policies or obfuscating them.How? This reminds me of everybody saying their E3 sucked because of TV, TV, TV, TV yet it was all games.
and we've known about this since, what, last year? Add on that Sony focuses on original programming, too, so.
Finally Microsoft is ready show the ace up their sleeve. This will save Xbox.
Well, at least these TV shows will have no trouble achieving 1080p.
with $499 price tag and $60 subscription, I don't think it's going mainstream.
Their E3 was fantastic if you're looking at it from a strictly games perspective, which is normally the most important thing.

but e3 did bring the games, besides all that shit. the E3 presentation was great.No their initial reveal sucked because TVTVTVTV, their E3 sucked because $500 + DRM + MS Reps looking like douchebags because they were tasked with either defending the company's untenable policies or obfuscating them.
That's the reveal. Their E3 conference was all games.

They've shown their true intentions last year. Anyone who falls for it again has only themselves to blame.
I feel like the Halo show will never happen.
We still doing the TVTVTV was at E3 stuff?
Yeah it's really confounding that anyone at MS thinks this will sell Xboxes. This is a symptom of a company that does not want to be in the market it is in.No one is going to pay $500 and $60 a year to watch TV shows....

I got the system and have many games to play. Them wanting to make shows for their own box isn't going to automatically stop games from coming on to the system. I'm very positive that the people that are working on TV content aren't the ones that are actually making games.

Resources are finite. Things have opportunity costs.
Are there any new games coming out for the One?
Completely serious question. I mean in the next few months. What the hell are they doing?

I imagine that this is not meant to sell Xboxes per se. It's meant to keep people watching, playing, and potentially making money in advertisement. We'll see how this content is actually distributed, but there are plenty of opportunities for cross-marketing and leveraging other content through TV shows and documentaries.
Below
D4
Sunset Overdrive
for exclusives until E3. Wouldn't make a lot of sense to announce a lot of games with E3 not too far away. Might as well let the indies and multiplatform games tide people over.

As an early adopter who likes quality tv programming I am thrilled to have original series coming to the Xbox one.This is precisely why i was cynical about Phil Spencer's recent "games games games" PR.
Early adopters of $500 games consoles don't care about this stuff, and they're also into the hobby enough to see it as wasted resources that could be going into a new studio or game. I don't know if this is some weird attempt at building momentum after their big bet (titanfall) failed to boost sales enough to beat the competition. But it's the wrong way to go about it. This sort of announcement comes when the console is affordable to the mainstream consumer, not when it costs as much as it does.
Sell it to the people who actually have a chance buying the system (gamers looking for games on a $500 games console) and as time goes on, and the system reduces in price they'll get their "TV, TV, TV, SPORTS, TV, TV, SPORTS" audience.

More than likely. And hey, I would be interested in shows/documentaries that are gaming focused and I'm pretty sure others who play games on the console would be too.
Then they've done a lot of work for nothing then, it seems.
If by TVTVTV you mean games, games, games, like last E3, then I support that.
There is absolutely no chance that either Below or Sunset Overdrive come out before E3.
Try making some games instead.
As an early adopter that LOVES quality TV, I'd rather have Microsoft focus on what has actually become their comparative advantage (games), especially since their first party stable of studios still needs a whole lot of investment.

They are just acting like they are for the gamers so they can lure in gamers, once they get those they will switch back to their tv tv shit.Seriously. Despite Microsoft constantly saying they're focusing on gaming, they seem to do the exact opposite.
Why is it one or the other? That's the thing people can't understand for some reason. Hey if Microsoft is making game series they cancelled every game. No games. No games at all. Its just silly.As an early adopter that LOVES quality TV, I'd rather have Microsoft focus on what has actually become their comparative advantage (games), especially since their first party stable of studios still needs a whole lot of investment.
