I am what you might call the polar opposite of a Sony fan. However, there's no denying that this Xbox Reveal did nothing to alleviate my worries for the machine. It also did nothing to sell the machine to honest gamers. They took great care to discuss only a few gaming-related bullet points. From the bullet points I have seen, however, what they reveal at E3 about games won't matter:
- Requires Kinect to be connected to function, because...
- ...there's greater Kinect integration into the machine
- Users will be charged a fee for installing used games
- The immense size is off-putting
- No backwards compatibility with 360 games
- Television, television, TV, sports, sports, Call of Duty, Call of Duty, dogs, TV
- [STILL UNCLEAR] Always-online authentication's threatening presence
These are enough for me to pass on buying the ... what, is it still considered a console? All-in-one entertainment device? Whatever it is, it's hard for me to see any of these bullet points as a positive. Since I've sworn off purchasing any and all Sony products for a long while and Nintendo currently has nothing that interests me, it looks like I'll have to reevaluate and modify my Gamer label in the near future.
