Xbox One, if it ain't broke, don't fix it

So, yesterday the new Xbox was finally shown to the world in more detail.
As the title suggests Xbox One is the name and oh boy, Microsoft seems to have messed it up!
The rage of many players was quickly felt through various platforms, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, all of them were means for players to try and reach Microsoft's attention, show them what they did wrong, how they were already losing the so called console war.

The focus of all this anger was mainly the lack of actual content in this presentation, at least from a gamer perspective.
Only a few games were talked about (Forza 5, CoD: Ghosts, etc), but even then, what was shown of those games was not enough or even that good, yes, Call of Duty has a dog with more pixels now! Yes!

After learning from the experience of the first Xbox, Microsoft seemed to have found a way to secure a nice chunk of the market with the 360, focusing mainly on what consoles are for, gaming at an affordable price.
What Microsoft seems to have failed to notice in this current - soon to be past - generation of consoles was the difficulties that Sony had upon release of the Playstation 3, the huge price tag along with the lack of top of the line games almost defeated the purpose of buying a console.
This price was quickly justified by Sony with the many functionalities of the console, working as a media player, a blu-ray player and so on.
It failed them, no one cared about that when the console didn't have games! Only when the price was dropped and the better exclusive games were release did the console pick up and joined Xbox in the fight.
On top of all that, Microsoft seems to have made terrible decisions concerning their console, gone are the days when you could just loan a game to a friend, with Xbox One that friend will have to pay a fee if he wants to be able to install and play the game.
The lack of backwards compatibility is also a bad move on Microsoft part, when you have such a big community of players you have to take advantage of that, give them a reason to continue with your system - besides achievements - allow them to continue playing their old games (client fidelization, it's marketing 101, c'mon MS!)

Sure, they showed good things yesterday, the controller seems to be even better than before (yes, they did it somehow), the Kinect interaction seems really interesting even if the "always on" camera can be dangerous. The integration of the cloud system to give developers even more possibilities is promising, the integrated television is really interesting( if you're from the States).
But in the end none of that really mattered as the bad decisions by Microsoft were too many and the games were not there.
Hopefully the American company will still be able to fix at least some of these problems so that we may have a console war like in the old days, with lots of blast processing!

I leave you with a nice and funny video that captures the essence of Microsoft's presentation.
