Why the "Xbox One" has already failed. 05-24-2013, 08:42 PM

Microsoft has made MANY bad decisions when it comes to the Xbox One and I would like to state a few of them for you so that you may be a bit more informed.
- No backwards compatibility.
You won't be able to play all those xbox 360 games you played over the years on your new system.
Note - PS4 doesn't support backwards compatibility either but we're discussing Microsoft here.
- Horrible reception at the reveal. Why you ask?
1. Microsoft's over-hyped, constantly advertised reveal was a short, tepid display of marketing which left a lot of people saying .. "Is that all you got?"
2. Sony's stock actually JUMPED 9% after One was revealed while Microsoft's stock dropped .66% (Neither good nor bad...Which is bad because they just revealed a new console which should phase the stock more than -.66%.)
3. COD, SPORTS, TV were the the main buzz words used during the reveal. We've had all of these three things for YEARS now ... how dull. They made it clear they had absolutely nothing new to bring to the table and they are solely relying on hype to sell this generation's Xbox.
4. We were told that we were going to have 15 new exclusives and yet they only premiered 2 games which were Quantum Break and Forza 5.
- A regular internet connection is required to even play single player games on your Xbox One.
Yes you heard right. Microsoft will require to check into your internet at least once a day. So if your internet were to go out for a week, you would not be able to play your Xbox One for that week. Have fun!
- Your new Xbox One will ALWAYS WATCH YOU (Via Kinect).
Your Xbox One will always have to be connected to its partner in crime; The Kinect, and they can watch you legally 24/7. It's like paying to be ratted!
Here's something else for you to think about too. "Microsoft has filed a patent last year on a method of using Kinect to monitor an entire room to confirm that everyone watching a movie or other content has purchased an individual license for watching that content." Imagine having to kick your friend out because he hasn't bought the license to watch the movie. Yeah. Something like that.
You will have to install every single game you purchase.
That's right. Every game you get for your Xbox One, will have to be installed before you can play it. This will test your patience when installing the game, and your HDD's memory.
Paying EXTRA to play used games.
You will have to pay an extra fee to install a used game to your Xbox One. Might as well buy the game new, right?
That's all I really have right now. I'm sure I've missed some key points here but I'll add them later.
Overall Microsoft have displayed some smart, yet blunderous marketing decisions over the past few months that has definitely hurt them.
