Microsoft really needs new exclusive IPs and not just ride the same 3 franchises over and over again (Halo, Gears, and Forza).

Also, Xbox Live needs to step it up and be as good as Steam and PlayStation Plus.

Don't focus too much on Kinect, multiplats and non-gaming features.

I'm wondering if they will address the Always Online (3-minute rule), Anti-Used game rumors.

I missed most of it. Have they talked about anything game wise or just movies and stuff?

I'm not digging the design atm. Hopefully, they will change it for the release.

They Showed a grand total of 2 brand new games (Forza 5 and Quantum Break), announced that MS studios will put out 15 games in the first year, 8 which are new IP's, and showed a Call of Duty Ghosts Trailer with a fluf video touting the new engine.

So, Xbox One... How are we going to abbreviate that?

I missed most of it. Have they talked about anything game wise or just movies and stuff?

Very few games: Forza, EA Sports (4 games), Quantum Break (I think this is a new IP), and Call of Duty Ghost.

They did said several times that they will focus more on games in E3 and that within its first year Xbox One will have 15 exclusive titles and that 8 of those will be new IPs.

I'm not digging the design atm. Hopefully, they will change it for the release.

It looks too much like the original PS3 to me... They should have made it a different color at least.
