...that between things like this, criticisms for their backwards compatibility stance, the "sometimes on" policy, used game "fee", mandatory Kinect, console look and name, and sacrificing game support to focus on stuff everything else already is aiming for (all-in-one media centers), Microsoft might go back to the drawing board and make a system that's more appealing for gamers.

I don't know about other folks, but I just wanted a stronger 360 with in-system video capture*. I don't care about super-fast web browsing and TV watching on my game console. I already use a whole slew of other things to meet that need.

To be honest, I'm not too excited for the PS4 either and was really hoping Microsoft would blow it out of the water by making their console more gamer friendly. Well, here's to them getting their heads out of the rear-ends in time for E3.

*Full or partial backwards compatibility would have been a definite plus as well.
