Like the name because it is simple and not XBOX 720 which would sound a little strange. I like that they are actively pursuing the non gaming related parts of xbox live and are striving to make a console that everyone can use without having to be a gamer.
Yeah I do agree with you about the Xbox 720 name. I just think of the original Xbox when I hear "Xbox One," but maybe that's just me. I will say that the non-game aspect of the system is truly amazing. I'm really looking forward to the integration of NFL and the NFL fantasy league

I was impressed. it has gaming PC specs
(8 core processor x64 architecture, 8GB ram, 500 GB hard drive, blu ray, and tons of other crap)
Thanks for the link. Does anyone remember the XBL server count and it's progression? All I can recall is something about 500 for original XBL
Server count is like 300,000 I think. http://gizmodo.com/the-new-xbox-ever...roso-509033619
Well I hope games are cheaper since used games will no longer happen, since games get locked to your account.
"It also seems the new online gaming feature will restrict your ability to use used games, since they will be tied to your specific used Xbox Live account once activated online. "
'pre-owned fee' for Xbox One, and Xbox live fee? I don't see how anyone can defend Microsoft now.
Microsoft just killed themselves. http://www.computerandvideogames.com...-for-xbox-one/
IDK what the original xbox had for servers. right now its at 15k but will expand to 300k for the xbox one
Wow. That is amazingly stupid.Quote:

this and no backwards compatibility nearly guarantees that my Next Gen Gaming Device will be a PC.
Very disappointed with what I've heard thus far...
- Mandatory Kinetic usage (must be on for console to function)
- Potentially mandatory game installs
- Fee for playing used games
- No BC with 360 content (games, DLC, XBLA) but you can keep your Gamerscore (LOLWHOCARES?)
Sony completely lost me years ago with the lack of quality exclusives and loss of BC on the PS3, but if M$ continues to royally jekk up I might have come crawling back with an heartfelt apology. I've been completely in the dark concerning the PS4 until now. Time to get my Google on.
On a lighter note some of those Reddit comments are absolutely priceless.
This is what Nintendo done to the wii u locked games to one account. I am not sure if that is a great feature.Quote:
