Wow, just wow...
I'm shocked that Microsoft thought any of these *sarcasm* oh so genius *sarcasm* ideas would resonate with anyone at all, the issue with used games in particular. I'm not too surprised by the lack of backwards compatibility, mostly because I've been used to it ever since I bought my PS3 (without PS2 support). I don't know about the rest of you, but all of the other "features" make me think of this as an electronic that happens to play video games instead of being an actual video game console.
Also, I'm flabbergasted by the name: Xbox One. Googling it directed me to almost nothing but pics of the original Xbox. The rumored Xbox Infinity, 720, or even just Xbox 3 would all be better names. It seems like Sony is the only company who got the naming thing right this time around. I mean, Wii U is almost as bad a name as this new Xbox, as it sounds like an add-on to the original Wii instead of something new. At least it has a Blu Ray drive, but that isn't enough to save the console. I'm definitely sticking with Sony (and/or Nintendo) for the next generation, though I probably would have done that anyway, given that I don't care for the 360 very much.
