Most annoying to me, is we're 30 minutes into the reveal, and they've still not discussed games. Literally, we've had about 7 seconds of a game playing in the background. As far as I people can tell, this would (so far) seem to be a voice controlled cable box.

Oh, and it looks like a shiny VCR. Bleh.

Edit: Ah, at 31 minutes, we have a games developer. Pity it's EA, but c'est la vie.

Xbox One?

That's a rather confusing name since it's the third Xbox.

That didn't stop Apple from naming the newest iPhone the "iPhone 5", despite being the sixth.

My thoughts as well. It means they'll have to rethink their naming schema yet again when they come out with the next console, because Xbox Two as the fourth Xbox just wouldn't fly.

"You can watch TV"

I can already watch TV.

And I don't want to be social while I watch TV, or buy tickets for a sequel while I watch a movie.

So far I haven't heard anything that has wowed me.

Xbox 3, 4, 8, Infinity. Nope...they had to choose "One". Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Unifying the TV Watching experience can be very awesome. Should be interesting to see what the actual cable companies think and how they integrate in the end.

I think that's the point. They're trying to capture a market far larger than people who care about the next Halo, because those people are going to buy this anyway.
