Sinve none of your 360 purchases will carry over, why does what you've invested the 360 matter?
Xbox Video is TV and movie content I have few seasons bought and that stuff will move over as they showed the Star Trek moving going off Xbox Video. Plan to sub to a few shows next season (Hart of Dixie, Arrow season 2, shield, etc)
So in other words TV stuff carries over but not actually games, even though it is a video game console?
I would have really liked to see the Xbox look a bit better. It looks like a VCR from the 90's and the controller looks a lot like the Xbox 1 controller, no not Xbox One, Xbox 1 silly.

I like the look of the console but it is missing something that past consoles have. The one looks like apiece of equipment for a entertainment center and doesn't hav an out their line.
Also it being a game console means nothing if it isn't BC. None of your PlayStation games will carry over, but all your SEN music and Move purchases will carry over because its a wildly different tech than games.
WAT!
Hey check out my awesome new youtube channel shingi70 where I update weekly on the latest gaming and comic news form a level headed perspective.
"ExtremeTech, as we told you yesterday, reports that the patent is for tech that sees Kinect monitoring how many people are in a room at once. If the number exceeds the amount allowed on a game or film’s license, then you the owner of the content, must pay for an extended license."
Hey look, you can get achievements for watching TV...
"Two examples given include doling out achievements for watching a single event like the Super Bowl, or for watching an entire series of a single show."

So if they wanted to plug a certain show, they could offer more than usual points to entice you to watch. Like getting rats to press a button by offering cheese.
Is it really an 'achievement' to watch an entire season of Storage Hunters?
Isn't it obvious that Falco Lombardi is actually a parrot?
I think the look is one of the best things about it. It looks like a piece of AV equipment instead of a toy. About time someone did that. Makes it easier to stack things around it too. That's pretty much the general consensus from website reactions too. There's a lot of stuff you can count as flaws, but I do't think the look is one. Most people love it. Controller looks great too. 360 controller is nearly perfect apart from the d-pad, so not a lot they need to do there.
At the Q&A, Kotaku asked how they felt about the negative reaction, and MS replied that only about 20% of websites reacted badly to it. Kotaku's first reaction was to laugh, and then they went to compile a list of reactions so they could show MS were talking crap... until they found what MS said was pretty much spot on. Gaming websites reacted badly because they didn't show games (they said in advance it was to reveal the console and the games would be at E3). Pretty much every tech website and mainstream mdi a website loved it.
The reason people are mad is because they hardly showed any games, but I think they'll make up for that at E3. They got all this crap out of the way so not to bore the hardcore games tuning in at E3 with the TV and movies stuff. The Xbox 360 reveal event was exactly like this, and that turned out to be a pretty good console for games.
It's not the look or lack of games that bothered me about the console, it's some of its features. Having to pay a fee to let someone else borrow a game seems like too much, and I don't like the idea of the Kinect "watching" me.
It's carrying over negatives of a PC, and it's a very poor substitute for a PC at that. But, since it's for the television convenience, I guess it's not quite an undisputed dud.
Another subject left unmentioned during yesterday’s Xbox One unveiling is the question of Xbox Live Arcade and indie games. Microsoft has seemed to increasingly loose interest in both concepts over the last few years, and this has now culminated in the scrapping of Xbox Live Arcade and the refusal to allow indie developers to self-publish.
Instead all downloadable games will be lumped together in the new version of Xbox Marketplace and if an indie developer wants their game to appear there they’ll have to get a traditional publishing deal.
As you might imagine indie developers, never known for being slow to speak their minds, are not impressed with Microsoft’s attitude.
‘Let me tell you something: most indies I know already don’t want to publish on a Xbox console. publisher or no publisher’, tweeted FEZ creator Phil Fish. ‘Microsoft doesn’t care about indie developer’.
‘I tried to get excited about the xbox one, but failed’, chimed in Minecraft creator Markus ‘Notch’ Persson.
What is it with microsoft and there obsession with always-on?
Microsoft's Marc Whitten made the company's position clear when he told Wired that developers won't be forced to incorporate always-on features but then added, "I hope they do." In other words, no persistent connection required this time around, but you better get used to the idea, and don't be surprised when it tops the feature list of the Xbox Two.
