What's up with the lack of Japanese games? It was a definite bro fest for sure. It's probably just easier to sell the box through "services" rather than make new games because they are too expensive to make. Pizza Hut anyone.

If you don't mind extremely overzealous droppage of the F bomb and a plethora of capital letters, read on.
First off, WHAT is with that fucking name? Who at Microsoft sat down and decided "oh yeah let's completely mindfuck consumers and resist naming our console the completely logical Xbox 720, and go for something a little more....zesty. How about the Xbox One? Oh yeahhh now that'll get the people GOIN!"? Like, seriously. People approved this shit.
But I guess we can move on to something relatively positive. Now, this is probably the only the thing the Xbox reveal did better than the Playstation 4 reveal, and that's showing the console. But...
It's fucking hideous. I know simplicity is the "thing" nowadays, but in all honesty I hate the way this thing looks. Chunky as it was, even the original Xbox looked better than that extra large piece of crap.
And don't even go there with all that "it's what's in the box that matters Brittany" shit, because what's going on inside (as far as we know anyway) isn't exactly giving me much to work with either.
I swear, if I had to hear ONE more thing about a fucking fantasy football team, or a fucking cable box, I was going to kill someone. I DON'T CARE ABOUT SPORTS, I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR TV SHOWS, I JUST WANT TO PLAY FUCKING GAMES. And this one douche bag on Twitter (who hates Sony by the way) had the nerve to tell me that Microsoft not really focusing on the games doesn't matter because they announced it as an "entertainment system".
Moment of silence for this dumbass please.
Now correct me if I'M wrong, but since it's inception, has the Playstation ever been marketed as anything other than a COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM? No? Okay then.
Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with bringing other forms of media into gaming, but it's hard enough for gaming to be recognized as it's own flourishing medium without things like the Xbox One pulling consumers away from what this shit was originally about: playing fucking games. But oh wait guys, they've got EIGHT new IPs coming. EIGHT. But what did we see? Call of Duty (more fucking Call of Duty?), Forza (geez, when's the last time I played one of those?), and a Halo TV series (wait, does this mean there won't be a Halo 5? Please?). And get ready for those mandatory installs kids 'cause they're a-comin'. (Sooo is this gonna be built in, or am I gonna need to purchase some sort of mega hard drive?...hmm)
Oh yeah, another big moment of piss off: not addressing rumors. Now, you could argue that at the PS4 reveal, Sony and the developers didn't shed a lot of light on the rumors floating around at the time either, and I could counter that argument by saying that Sony also didn't fuck up nearly everything about their presentation like Microsoft did. So really, I think Microsoft could have saved at least a piece of their collective asses by outrightly speaking on things like always on DRM and blockage of used games. I know some of that was cleared up later on today,(UPDATE: nevermind. This shit has to be connected to the internet once every 24 hours. Aw fuck it.) but too little too late man. But I'm going to be positive and hold out hope that this will indeed get better. I mean, it really is too soon to tell. Let's not be too presumptuous. However, they didn't pull out all the stops when it counted, so now apparently Sony's stock has risen in the last few hours. Go figure.
And the console war begins anew...
