X-Box One: A "How To Kill A Console" Rant.
Howdy,
This is gonna be a quickie. It's about the X-Box One, and it is a new revision to the textbook on ruining a console. To be fair, I'm more of a PC gamer, but I have and love both the XBOX and 360. Well, more love has probably gone to the original, but that's a side-story.
Oh, speaking of the X-Box 1, We'll start with the obligatory "Name makes no sense" entry, calling it the fucking "one" as if this is a very bad pun on the concept of a square serving as a zero, and move...

This is a rant about a product before it was released. Now that the XBox One is released, I wonder if Josh will still want to "kill the console?" Latest XBox One News

"Josh?" No. "Want to kill" it? Uhm, again; no. I didn't ever say I wanted to kill the XBone. My argument was simple: That the way Microsoft had handled the XBone was a formula for failure. It's still very early, but here are some preliminary results...- Since my rant (it's a voice-of-the-writer thing), they'd eliminated always-on as a requirement, along with other issues I mentioned.
- Don Matrick is now the CEO of Zynga, so that tells you how his career went after overseeing this.
- Microsoft just announced that a cheaper, no-Kinect variant of the XBone will be released.
For our finale...
- The PS4 has outsold the XBone.
So your argument boils down to...What, again? I was far from the only one raising these questions, and my analysis has been spot-on so far. I'm sure the XBone is a great console, but I'm perfectly content with my 360.
