    Or you enjoy doing fitness indoors through a video game console. Lifting imaginary weights, running on the spot and imagining you are really bench pressing 300+lbs

    When Sessler was bashing Sony, he was a ? to some of the people on here. Now let's see what they have to say after a review attributing some negatives to the XB1.

    All in all, I thought it was a review, and the XB1 is what I thought it would be. A good maybe even great system, but one that's not everything it was cracked up to be and puts a lot more attention into being a big time media hub than a gaming console. I think whoever gets it will be happy with it though assuming they can get good third party gaming support. The only thing I think is a little worrisome is the inability to upgrade the hard drive. Given that you have to install everything, 500 GB will go by surprisingly fast.

    Good review, this ? got some crazy potential. I've watched about 4 reviews and they all seem to have the same problem as far as the game load times & installing the game times that kinda sucks.

    I wonder why game loads are so long given that the games are installed on the system.

    It was a good honest review.. he pretty much was saying that it delivers as a good gaming console and also has the greatest potential with all the extra features. Now where he has the idea that the Xbox may not have alot of 3rd part support is beyond me

    Well, yeah, that's what he's saying if you take all the negatives away.

    All the reviews I've seen say pretty much the same thing. The XB1 is a nice piece of technology with a lot of great features that don't really work quite as well as people were led to believe they would. That said, everyone believes that M$ will improve those things and the XB1 will end up being crazy good.

    Also, were you the one that said you couldn't join friends' games from the Dashboard on the PS4. I saw a review earlier that said you could from the friends section. I don't know if that's true or not but have you tried it?

    Let me give XB1 it's praises now. M$ is definitely doing their part in education and trying to get Black people to speak standard English

    He never said greatest potential... Camera and voice commands are ? and he said the tv features aren't really that big of a deal. On ps4 you can use ustream which I'm shocked sooo many people are using it but it's actually a cool feature which I'm shocked xbox will never utilize for u to watch live streamed games straight from the console.

    He didn't say greatest he said ALOT .. he also didn't say that the TV feature wasn't a big deal. He said it was innovative

    I'm not seeing the negative in you analysis.. it doesn't work perfectly.. of course it won't.. but it will be tweaked along the way.. also remember this is talking about the additional features having nothing to do with actual gaming . Nothing bad has been said about the games .. yet anyways

    You're forced to spend $100 more for a console with worse specs than another and the additional ? that comes with can't even be utilized efficiently...... This isn't about being a fanboy it just is what it is. I don't even believe the cloud will be utilized like Microsoft is hoping it will be.
