    hmm is it true that it can be said most outlets assume Microsoft was selling a new gaming console or is it generally understood that the new xbox one is not a gaming console but an all in one box as said almost first thing in the reveal? I mean all the articles are coming at it as if they have been saying and will say it's a gaming console when I don't think that is true. so who is that fault on, the reporters assuming and writing based on that assumption about disappointment, or Microsoft for having a bad message al la Nintendo with the wii-wii u.

    second my vizeo TV can do yahoo fantasy sports, which I use for NFL as a little bar, Netflix ect. so I am not sure why I need another device to do what my TV does just fine.

    now the reason I am upset by this is because the way they position the xbox one is that is a semi-huge feature and will come in to the machine regarding price. as the gamer who wanted the new gaming machine, I don't want to pay the what 50-200 bucks extra for those features they put in the xbox one because it's not a gaming machine anymore but an all in one.

    I have not done much with playstation this generation, but I really am questioning the purchase of a PS4 over the xbox one at start. I will of course wait for E3 and to see which system will be better at running things like Witcher 3, Destiny, who has RPG's and things of this nature, more now then ever before as I have gotten older I am looking to see which will b more favorable to software over what it's hardware can do. The reason I feel this way is because the way things are now and going ot be, almost every device can do what an all in one device can do. I am sure 2 years from now, even tablets could run games just as well and do everything else, while also being hdmi'd to my TV with a controller. it makes me wonder why the first impression from Microsoft was about features almost all gamers have elsewhere, while sony made sure to let you know the first impression is games, all types of games, and ways to share them with your friends.
