I don't think it is the "lack of game talk" that people have issues with.
Off the top of my head:
- requiring kinect (camera and mic) powered and working for system to work at all.
- requiring internet authentication of all games (including single player games) EVERY 24 hours
- “constantly” connected camera and mic in your living room. Awesome recipe for hacking and privacy fun
- requiring installation for games to work . . . and only having announced a 500GB model
- the above and the system being locked to proprietary hard drives only
- locking out indie devs from self-publishing unlike PS4/Wii/etc.
- mixed messages about additional fees for used games, still can’t get their story straight
- initial impressions give raw performance to the PS4 by 50%? ala Eurogamer/Anandtech
- 3GB of the 8GB memory already reserved for system with the 3 operating systems running at the same time for TV, etc.
It's early and when things hit the market, people will vote with their money. The messaging from Microsoft has been terrible for a launch event regardless.
