Continuing our look back at noted console reveals, Rich Leadbetter, John Linneman and Alex Battaglia tackle one of the biggest reveal disasters of all-time. Join the team as they return to May 2013 to revisit the unveiling of the Xbox One, the full debut of Kinect 2.0, the bizarre emphasis on watching TV, the baffling lack of game content and so much more.

@The Deadid 1 The problem is that you believe consoles make money but they don't. It's software that makes that, wether you buy Xbox's games on your pc or on the console, you're still feeding into their ecosystem. Also, the normal person isn't going to go out and buy a rig with equal specs of the series x especially since that console is much more efficient, cheaper then an equal rig, more of a "plug and play" and easier experience overall. You would have to spend a hell of a lot more to get equal specs to series X, and even more to exceed it. Just my thoughts though.

@KaneLives1981 3 жыл бұрын

The problem was that they thought they WERE doing what the consumers wanted. All the telemetry off the 360 was telling them that people were using it to watch Netflix etc. When I had my 360, at that point in time my friends list would normally show nobody in a game and everyone watching streaming content. Replicate that across the whole world and it’s very likely that they saw more people using the 360 as a media hub rather than a pure gaming machine. Don’t get me wrong, they made a horrible, horrible mistake, but I think it’s probably quite understandable at the same time if you consider the information they must have been getting back.

@AnEn Nobody thinks the industry isn't heading in a more digital direction, but the plug & play aspect of consoles, lending & borrowing games, has been a big part of their appeal for a long time compared to PC gaming, and burning that bridge behind them in the pursuit of a digital market was an absolutely pants-on-head ridiculous approach to take and was so completely unnecessary. By taking away functionality from the physical media instead of simply making the digital proposition better to incentivise people to change their consumption habits. The current approach of make physical games disc-dependent, and have digital copies account-bound, just seems absurdly obvious.

@InnuendoXP 4 жыл бұрын

@AnEn but it was boneheaded as a strategy, because it clearly didn't work out for them, and it tried to sell a concept by creating an artificial disincentive for the old, rather than trying to sell the positive incentive of the new. The objective wasn't boneheaded, but the strategy really was. There was never software ownership, you only ever have a software licence. That's always been the case. I've already said the market being digital wasn't the mistake, it was what they thought they could sell with it (TV) and their attempt to go it alone by trying to strongarm options away from the consumer that turned into an easy win for their main competitor in the console space. THAT was stupid.

One thing I find interesting, is how they originally discussed how Kinect V2 would be able to read your pulse from across the room. I got a laugh a few years later when re-watching it, thinking that obviously materialize. Then one day I was bored in a lecture and started browsing medical journals; turns out it actually does exist! It's picky about room lighting and skin color, but it does work. Surprising amount of stuff on Kinect in academic journals for computer science and medicine! Obviously, the forced bundling of the device was unbelievably stupid and hurt the Xbone launch in a huge way. It's of zero use or interest to me from a game perspective, but I absolutely love it on my pc. The list of what it can do is too long to get into, but one feature I use often is it is a 3D scanner. Very cool technology, just not so great for gaming

Yes, they did backtrack a bit on some of that stuff, but the fact they even ATTEMPTED to pull all this shit on their own consumer base, nope. Never forget. Never got an Xbox One. THEY sold the PS4 to me, Sony didnt have anything to do with that. Microsoft did Sony's job for them. A free win for Sony before they even aired their presentation.
