John Meadows from goozernation writes, "The date is May 21st. Microsoft is finally set to reveal the next Xbox. Microsoft has been really tight lipped about new features for both the console and Xbox Live. Sony announced the PS4 almost 3 months to the date. Has Microsoft waited too long to reveal the new Xbox? Are they going to have some mind blowing features to take some of the thunder away from the PS4? We don’t have too long to wait, but while we do, let the rumors fly!"

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Games Asylum: "It seems reasonable to suggest most people have a preferred takeaway establishment. The one that you always find yourself coming back to, much to your waistline’s despair. Should that takeaway temporarily close, you’ll doubtlessly have to expand horizons and go elsewhere. Sure, the food from a second choice might be palatable, but it’s never the same, lacking in zest. This analogy can be applied to the 3D Realms published WRATH. It’s powered by a modified version of the Quake engine, and even plays like ID’s masterful shooter at times, but it’s lacking that all important crunchiness. It isn’t completely soggy, but there’s not much bite either."
I buy a TV to watch whatever is hooked up to my TV.
I buy a phone to make calls / text.
I buy a console to play games.
If I wanted apps, I'd use my phone's apps, or my TVs apps, or buy a tablet or laptop...
I think this could bite M$ is the @ss if their focus on games takes a backseat. But then again, if they're smart about marketing and PR, it might be a major success. This coming gen is going to be very interesting.
Yes, they could make a big mistake with the new Xbox !
Of course they could. As could Sony. As is Nintendo.
Are articles that end with a question mark starting to fray on a lot of peoples nerves?
They could just like any other firm. Take Nintendo for example before the Wii U was announced people were hyping it up to be the ultimate next generation console that would be perfect for games. After the Wii Us release people suddenly realized that Nintendo made several mistakes with it.
The same can happen to any firm even Sony with the PS4.
