I love when new console generations begin, I always buy at launch and get all hyped up.

Going back to the 16 bit era, this is the system I have been least excited for.

Now that I've had time to think about it, my reaction:

Funny thing is, this video was originally made for Microsoft's E3 presentation last year... my how things have not changed...

[Arkhan]

In honor of the Xbox One, I beat Spyro the Dragon for Playstation 1 today.

remember when Microsoft didn't make consoles, and first person shooters weren't for pussies?

Too true... too true... so true it hurts.

I remember one tech writer actually wrote years ago about an age where computers would not obey our commands, but instead those of a corporation... lemme try to find that article.

EDIT: Found it! Quite a good read if you have some time. Eerie to think he wrote about this well before the XBOX One, or the XBOX 360 for that matter, was ever begat.

This system unites all bad aspects of a gaming console with all the bad aspects of a PC. Not the easiest task to accomplish.

Good read there and I agree 100% with what the man wrote. Exactly what is happening now with technology. Hell, politics and society in general aren't too much different either if you think about it.

“[The Xbox is part of a] grandiose strategy. Microsoft built its dominance through the ubiquity of its operating systems on PCs. Initially with DOS, and subsequently with Windows, the company established itself as the platform for users and developers. Now it is vying to control access to information from the living room. Three pieces of hardware have long been perceived as potential winners in this battle: the PC, the video game console and the satellite/cable set-top box. Microsoft already dominates the PC market. In 1997, it invested $1 billion in a 7.3% stake in Comcast, the US cable company, in an attempt to build a “Windows-based gateway to the television [although it subsequently sold it]. And the Xbox is designed to cover the third potential route to the market, to make sure that whichever of the three pieces of hardware win the battle, Microsoft has a place at the table.”

Wow, in the first few minutes of the unveil I was thinking... "they haven't said ANYTHING about the games". M$ has definitely moved away from the gamer's demographic.

Oh well, my WiiU is still awesome, and the PS4 looks promising
