Great, more long ass unedited amateur videos.

I used to upload gaming videos (moments/montages) to youtube. The share feature is nice on PS4 and Xbox one, although the reason for my comment is I quit uploading, because I always received copyright notices from YouTube, and even if I won an appeal...it still lead to copyright notices AGAIN later. Aside from the notices, my friends and I were monitoring through Adsense, after the notices would happen, I'd noticed that earned adsense revenue would be subtracted from FINALIZED earnings. I wrote a blog about this out of anger [1].

Anyways, the reason I stopped uploading was, because to actually get views and subscribers, editors need to....edit....their videos. Although when I uploaded, it taught me how to edit and compress videos, I realized I was editing and reviewing footage a lot more than playing.

They really could. They seem to have gone to market quicker than they were ready for this though, hopping the first mover advantage would allow people to see the potential. It's definitely there, with the snap feature for example to multitask apps (like watching a TV show with Skype on the side, sharing living rooms), the voice commands and gestures, etc. I wish they supported more cable provider guides through their…

I thought Apple bought the v1 kinect company and the xbone's kinect is all ms internal? That said the new kinect voice is SOOOOO close to being good, the stupid thing fails more often than siri though so I tend to forget to use it ever except the first day I got my xbox. I still hate that I need to pay for gold just to watch netflix (this is the reason I have my Apple TV tbh, I maybe use gold over the winter but othe…

Yeah, MS bought a couple of other companies after Kinect v1 which allowed them to do more with the Xbone.

The big downside for Xbox is as you say, the $59 Xbox Live Gold subscription. This rake is not likely something the new competing experiences like Amazon FireTV or AppleTV 4th gen will have, so they'll have to a have a LOT of perks to justify it. So far OneGuide, Skype and free Fitness demos seem a bit light (with Skype being the best justification of the lot).

Come on Google! Return the favor and make a native YouTube app for Windows Phone so users can watch said videos.

@barista: You've been hellbanned for 95 days. I look at your comments history and I cannot guess why.

You made me curios enough to browse barista's comments history and they are very biased pro-Google anti-Microsoft, to an extent almost all of the comments focus on that. The account does seem fishy.

With Starcraft 2 there's a feature to "watch a reply with a friend". Perhaps this is an easy way for them to get the same functionality without having to build in a replay viewer

There's also a whole audience of people on twitch who watch live streams of games with merely the player commenting into their headset as they go regarding why they're doing something (sometimes not even that!).

So there's two instances without editing already in wide use today.

I really think Xbox could win the battle for the living room. I'm more excited for it as a media center than as a game console. The fact that they let you pass through your cable box to an HDMI-IN shows me that they have been paying attention. I believe this was something that the Logitech Revue pioneered but unfortunately didn't take off due to being too slow a unit. I've been waiting to see who might support this a…

Indeed. I think the one flaw in their system, at the moment, is the xbox needs to be on all the time if your cable box is connected to it; if it's powered off, there is no HDMI pass-through.

Oh, hmm. Does anyone know how much power it uses when idling?

Here's an article about the PS4 and XB1's power consumption. Looks like the XB1 draws 18W on connected standby.

Doesn't the PS4 already do that? I mean they demo'd a continuous recording feature at the original announcement last year. Uploading those recordings to YouTube/Facebook/etc seems like a natural next step for that.

Facebook for recorded video, it would be wise of them to allow youtube as well.

They use UStream and Twitch for live video streaming. I know on Twitch, you can save videos also, but I don't know if you can do that from the PS4.

Either way, it's going to make for a more captive audience than Youtube.

This did make me chuckle: "...when’s the last time you heard someone talking about their favorite viral OneDrive video? Never? Yeah. Probably never."

Well to be fair OneDrive is not actually competing with Youtube, it is competing with Google Drive and Dropbox. Off topic but who do you actually consider a real competitor to Youtube? The only other major service I can think of is Vimeo. I have been getting frustrated with Youtube's random takedowns, ads and disabling of fullscreen in most websites. I think there is a potential for some new startups here.

Twitch.tv is probably the biggest competitor in the gaming area... maybe even bigger than Youtube for game uploads.

edit: looks like twitch is supported, definitely as well as youtube, and includes live broadcasting of gameplay... http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/apps/Xbox-One/Twitch
