i also saw an interview with the new xbox head where he reiterates xbox's focus on games...which i think is a good strategic move.

i saved the biggest news item for last. to me, this has huge repercussions for the long game on both consoles. directx 12 will deliver twice the gpu performance on the xbox one than what it can today, according to a game developer ceo. there are lots of concerns about heat when doing this, but there are a number of comments in other articles about the fan and heat dissipation capacity of the xbox one, especially with the power brick being external. the heat is not expected to be a concern.
