Yo Original G-man, Garnett, thanks for the plug. I was listening the 1up show...i mean weekend confirmed as I driving 4mph traffic through Moore, Oklahoma as they are currently cleaning up the tornado ridden destruction. I've been listening since the good ol'days of 1up show with luke, shane and mr. davidson and this is the first time i've been plugged.

as regards to my post, you guys hit it right on the bullseye. xbox is being targeted for mass market with locking in the big blockbusters in the US: NFL, Call of Duty and user friendly UI for all in one stop shop entertainment center in the living room. The only market next gen that they have an opportunity to penetrate is Europe and they are doubling down on the FIFA exclusive DLC.

if you take a look as a regular consumer, with constrained expendable income, you will buy the box that offers the most bang for the buck, has the big blockbuster exclusive partnerships and that plays next gen games. Microsoft is doing a great job positioning Xbox One as the system of choice for majority of consumers. They will have games that gamers want: Next Gears, Respawns exclusive FPS MMO, Bungie's MMO, Phantasy Star Online 2, Halo 5, Next Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption 2, Half Life, Final Fantasy, and 8 new IPs.

Its going to have next gen games...now what else can it do? that is the question Xbox One is doing well to answer for MASS MARKET APPEAL.
