Why all the Xbox One Hate?

I cannot understand why so many people have already decided that they hate the Xbox One. It's not even out for another six months, how can you be so certain? You really have no idea how the architecture will perform. The PS3 had better specs than the 360 and yet several games performed better on the 360 (ie DMC). I personally have no inclination to lean either way. Yes, I admit I had a 360, but I'm not a fanboy. I don't hate the Ps3 and I wished the 360 had Journey and Little Big Planet. My personal reason for going with 360 was I preferred the analogs for Fight Night and I love Trials Evolution. Nothing at all to do with bias towards either console. The specs that have been announced for both consoles are almost identical. The gpu's have not been announced. The other specs are the same except PS4 has ddr5 ram. That isn't going to matter as the 8gb is going to be overkill anyway. Even if the PS4 had better specs than the Xbox One, do you really think the games are going to demand every bit of that power? Both consoles are now very high spec and ram is for multitasking. Something that I hear a lot is that the Xbox One is worse because 'they're not focusing as much on games'. Apparently because Xbox One has a feature to watch tv. That's a bad thing, is it? It has 8 cores! It can handle other tasks, I doubt it's going to detract at all from the gaming. Microsoft are not the ones making the games, having a tv function is not going to make those games any worse. Yes the Xbox reveal (which we knew beforehand was focusing on hardware) had few games but it did show some, there wasn't much at the PS4 reveal either. Was anyone truly bowled over by any of the games shown for either system? I know people have an issue with the kinect but it can be turned off! Does noone like the idea of using your hands and voice in games and be able to Skype on the fly whilst gaming? At the end of the day we don't know a thing until they are released. Every single claim that one is s**t or that one is better than the other is just hot air, blown by fanboys that want their rival console to fail. So much so they will try and convince others (and themselves) that the console is a failure before it has even launched. It may sound like I'm pro Xbox One but I'm just pointing out that the console war has not even started. The PS4 looks great too, both should perform brilliantly with 8 cores and pc architecture. I will wait for both to come out before making an informed decision and won't hesitate to buy the PS4 if it gets the edge. For arguments sake say there was a real shocker and the Xbox One turned out to be the better performer with better games, are the PS4 fanboys going to stop hating? Nope.
