I can't believe I actually sat through that, and then took the time to respond..but here goes.

I don't know what this guy is expecting an apology for unless he bought one and it blew his house up. Bottom line is they make a product, if it does what you want it to, you buy it. If it doesn't, you don't buy it. Simple. It's a machine, not a girlfriend who's been cheating on you.

In the case of the Xbox One, they changed their entire concept with drm BEFORE launch, so its not like you bought one expecting one thing and then they pulled the rug out from under you. As for the kinect SKU, they responded to market demands for a cheaper option without the camera. Anyone who bought it prior to that does get more functionality for their additional $100. Just because this loudmouth says it doesn't work, doesn't make it so. I haven't had the kinect interfere with a gaming session at all, not once. Maybe his immature rambling made the kinect turn on him.

Microsoft has actually responded very rapidly to the market's criticism of its product, which is unheard of for a company of their size. Its been what, 9 months since launch? Whether he wants to praise them or not is irrelevant, the fact is they've been working to provide more value to their current and prospective customers. Does it do what you want it to do? That's the only question that matters. MS may have made mistakes initially reading the market but harbouring some weird emotional resentment towards a product is unhealthy. And at the rate MS is going with updates and a renewed focus , the system seems like its going to be a solid system.

I get that "gamers" are passionate fans, but there is a really immature sense of entitlement amongst many of them.
