Spot on commentary.

@GuPesci I have a 360. I'm not totally sold on PS4, but I do know that I wouldn't even consider the XB1 with a kinect. I bought a kinect for the 360 and it's collecting dust along side the racing wheel and guitar hero controllers.

MS needs to show something original (not FIFA, Madden, COD, etc) and drop the kinect to get me even remotely interested. Right now, it still looks like they're happy pushing the yearly release crap from the big 3 publishers and selling tv through the console. That's not very exciting and seems like a cash grab at best.

I don't want them to do something crazy like Nintendo, but where's the inspiration to actually try new, that adds value, in the next generation of games.

@NoAngle I wish GS would just add a thumbs down button. I used to love my 360, but the kinect had little value. It was a mistake to buy it.

All I hear MS say is kinect, kinect, kinect. I don't mind being an early adopter, but kinect has still failed to prove that it has any value outside of Dance Central and a couple of fitness games.

They can keep saying that, but the software doesn't support it. I bought a kinect for a launch 360. Besides Dance Central and maybe the fitness games, it seems to be incredibly useless.

I used it for two days to navigate the console and gave up on that too. Smart Glass was better than Kinect and even then, I just went back to the controller for non-keyboard activities.

I wouldn't spend another $100 on kinect until MS can actually prove it has value for a majority of the activities on the system.

An American businessman that understands that if the market expands, both companies win. Weird.

I'd hate to see the Xbox division at MS actually mature. It won't be such an entertaining train wreck to watch anymore though.

Old school ...

"For Spencer, what makes the Xbox One so compelling is that the box is a truly multi-purpose device, allowing users to jump from games to live or on-demand content with the press of a button."

Still the wrong message. I only use my 360 for streaming, but going forward, why would I pay for a X1 vs getting a Roku for considerably cheaper? Kinect isn't worth anything and continuing to promote the X1 as an entertainment box is a bad strategy because it's competing against considerably cheaper and content equivalent hardware options.

Lack of third party support has been big N's strength and weakness forever.

Mario and Zelda can only carry you so far. Nintendo may not be dieing. Neither is Blizzard. However, both of them are milking a few really dated franchises. I loved the 90's, but that was a loooong time ago.

Great quotes if you haven't heard them before ... listening to MS is like listening to a bunch of toddlers just shaking their rattles.

@NBAmaster33 @Catz_03 This is what happens when the inmates are running the asylum. The X1 PR reminds me of a project without a project manager.

Sony just has to sit back and not say anything and they come out looking good.
