Still, so far, nobody outside of paid actors have played with this device. This is really bad news. The way to get real impressions on people and to make buzz and headlines in video games is to have people play video games. Simple, isn't it? Apparently Microsoft is still learning how to play the game here.
The games they did have nobody wanted, and the ones they wanted weren't ready for anything outside of speculative renderings with actors flailing around in front of them. Microsoft is four years too late to pull something like this. They need to prove their worth on Nintendo's terms if they play copycat with Nintendo's strategies. Which means, then, getting people to play your products and let everyone else do the talking. Instead, they show this crap off to you and expect you to be tantalized with the prospect of playing a game, but for you to not play it. Fantastic.
Why is this not ready for anyone to try, if it's supposed to be released in November? Why, of all places E3, would you not have people play your games? And for that matter, why are we not talking about a price point for this product? Is the reality of this product so scary?
As soon as my concerns are addressed, I will have a different opinion, and my criticisms will be retracted, but things are not looking up for XBOX right now.
