Firstly I would like to make something very clear; I don't fully understand all the Hardware Specification mumbo-jumbo. I know how to use a computer and I have a basic level knowledge of what everything means in a computer. HOWEVER when it comes to gaming consoles I couldn't care less if you had tiny little miniaturized people running the thing or hardware in your console that so powerful it could break a hole in the time-space continuum. All I care about is these simple things:
- Does it look better
- Are the loading screens either gone or quicker
- Is there room for bigger and better games in general.
- Is there enough space for my game saves, demos and updates.
That is more or less all I care about when it comes to a new console, and all your technical words, processors and RAM means jackshit to me. Obviously I'm drifting off topic so I will get back on track and say that all the video of games that I saw on the reveal looked awesome and loads better than the current gen, minus the EA section where people looked a little rubbery to me.
As we are on the games section there were a few games shown at the reveal; Call of Duty Ghosts, Forza 5, the usual yearly EA suspects of FIFA, NFL etc, and new game Quantum Break to name all the games shown. Seriously for a big huge hyped reveal that had 4 games if you include the EA collection as one.
So there was a fair amount of the time of the reveal spent on explaining how Xbox One can work with your TV, how it is a complete entertainment unit and not just a games console. How you can talk to it and it recognizes your face and voice thanks to the new Kinect. Talking about how you will have a relationship with your Xbox, cue all the loons and the episode of the talk show: "My partner left me to marry his Xbox".
There was a lot of chat about the new partnerships with the NFL and how your

be totally up to date, by the minute, with your fantasy teams across multiple sports (all American of course).
Essentially there were just talking bollocks for most of it, telling you that your games console is no longer a games console and is so much more now. It's a TV box, it's a Blu-ray and DVD player, it's a music player, it can browse the internet and it can cook Bacon faster than a grilling machine. OK I made that last bit up.
I really couldn't give a flying monkeys left nut if it has all those features because I like most people have a computer that can do all those things. Admittedly having Netflix or BBC iPlayer on their is handy but it's not the end of the world or a selling point to me. Because do you know what I really want??
A GAMES CONSOLE!!!
I want something to play games on that maybe has some cool features within the gaming section. I want awesome games that will whittle away the hours of my exceedingly boring and wasted life. I want to play games with a controller, the way it's always been and not by doing movements or talking to the big huge box sat on my living room unit. I want something that can play games of amazing quality and that is what sells a new console to me.
I surely can't be the only one out there who feels this way?
