Last week PC Advisor hosted a poll to find out ‘What are your first impressions of the Xbox One'. The results so far look pretty positive for Microsoft, as a whopping 49 percent of you went for the option ‘I want one!'. Take a look at New Xbox One release date, specs, features and price in UK.
Count me in the 51%
Well I'm still undecided. I won't lie; the Kinect/Skype functionality does actually really excite me in terms of how it will work with games. I actually really like the idea of the controller but obviously, can't commit to it without a hands-on and the promise of 300,000 servers and $1 billion investment in games has me quite excited.
But, its MS' focus that leaves a lot to be desired. I will obviously wait till E3, like any rational gamer will be doing so that MS can clear up things regarding DRM etc but more importantly, to show us the games. Power isn't everything, its how you use it so lets see what MS can do.
Statistics aren't as reliable as some people think. Don't assume that this poll represent the gaming market as a whole. The article didn't state anything about the demographic who took part in the poll. For example if you where to ask people at E3 walking around Microsoft booth if they where getting an xbox one the figure would be a lot higher than 49%. To the contary if you where to ask someone walking around Sony booth the figure probably be a lower.
Besides people are extremely fickle so this figure could rise or fall over the next coming months.
The power of ONE grows.
