Xbox One lost me at "Kinect is always on is a FEATURE". Sorry, I don't want a camera and microphone in my living room. I told people this weeks ago when they first released the details on the Xbox One, some of my friends snickered and said I'm paranoid. Then what happened the following week? Oh, a massive program revealed the government is spying on American citizens and collecting and saving their data! Just what I totally want to trust now, a giant corporation operating a camera and mic in my home...

MS did back peddle and now says the kinect feature can be turned completely off. But I'm already not interested. They fished so much shit out there I'm not a fan of. DRM, phoning home requirement, the kinect thing, the sharing thing, and PS4 is gonna be $100 cheaper and have Kingdom Hearts 3 boyyyy.

Xbox One is gonna struggle this generation. It's going to be like PS2 all over again, and I think Sony is going to dominate. I'm not a fanboy of either personally, I just buy whatever makes the most sense.
