Dan writes - "If you’ve been living under a rock, the Xbox One console has been announced and shown but to the dismay of gamers everywhere, their announcement conference at the Xbox campus in Redmond was filled with more things to get the normal person to buy an Xbox One. Rather than focus on the games to appease the gamers, Microsoft took the approach to show off the Xbox One’s media side and show it’s ability to play television and all of the things our set top boxes have been doing for years. The vocal group of gamers ran to their twitter, facebook, forums, and other outlets to voice their concerns about how Microsoft had abandoned the gamers. Considering these consoles were created to play games on, the lack of games was very disappointing.

Players had high expectations for Destiny’s latest content drop, Destiny 2: Into the Light. Not only did it have to live up to other content added due to a delay, it needed to give players faith the conclusion of the Light and Dark Saga will be worthwhile. - IS
MS could pop up on stage with 15 exclusives/ new studios and certain folks still would complain
M$ could show all the exclusives in the world.But still doesn't change the fact that they are spying on you and charging for a used gamed fee activation.Which are what most people are up on arms over.Oh and that they showed little to no damn games.
Edit:Forgot to mention the online check every 24 hours thing.
The system boasts a solid list of hard negatives.
They could show promising title after promising title, but those negatives aren't going away.
The only thing the Xbox now has going for it is a possible solid line of new IP, as well as strong releases in its current library - good exclusives in general.
That is something that Nintendo, and more so Sony, have up their sleeves, without all the annoyances that comes with One.
Things aren't looking good for Microsoft's gaming division this generation.
