The *NEW* XBOX

So... here's my thoughts on the new XBOX:

1. I won't call it by that unfortunate name they've given it for a publicity stunt, I've got an xbox 1 in my closet gathering dust already why would I need another?
2. When I asked my fiancee what it looked like she told me "It looks like a Playstation."  When I showed her  a Wii U, she told me "That's a Wii U" and when I showed her the picture of a PS4 she said "That's definitely a Playstation."  A picture of an XBOX 360 "That's an XBOX".  She knows her consoles.  My point is that XBOX looks like a Playstation, not an XBOX.  The soul is gone in the design.
3. The specs of the controller say it's bigger and heavier than the XBOX 360 controller, which is already too big and too heavy, and it puts my left hand to sleep with that awkwardly placed thumb stick.
4. I already have a tv box from bell, why do I need another?
5. Most of my family and friends already have a Playstation 3, and so do I.  If I switch to XBOX Live, I'll have to get new friends and family to play video games with....
6. My fiancee panics that when I am watching a livestream people can see and hear her, how do you think she'll feel about a video game console that sees and hears her?  (she has spent more time with skype and phones than livestreams, she expects it to be a two way conversation that way)
7. XBOX 360s UI was so hard to figure out that I usually just gave up and gavve the controller to someone else and told them what to find for me.  Most of the time they couldn't find it either.
8. They are using DDR3 for the system memory.  Now this isn't a bad thing, but DDR3 comes in 6 different flavours, how much would you like to bet that Microsoft will cheap out and buy the slow one?
9. AMD APU. Again not a bad thing, in fact it's a pretty good idea, having CPU and GPU on the same chip means less worries about bus length, latency, and timing.  The less you have to worry about differing clock speeds between PCI-e bus and CPU-RAM bus the smoother the operation.  But it comes at a cost, less room for GPU and less room for CPU.  They share space, so are therefore smaller.  An APU just simply won't perform as fast as that Intel i7 and Nvidia GeForce GT 680.  I have the same beef with PS4
10. Operating system:  XBOX 1 came with Windows CE, XBOX 360 came with Windows CE, what do you suppose they will put on the new one? Windows 8 I'll bet, with no desktop, make it look more like a windows phone so more people will try to buy one of the 3 windows 8 phones out there. Or a surface.  Blech, I'm tired ot people complaining to me that their new computer doesn't work how they want it to, go buy a Mac at least then you expect it to be different.
11. I don't like XBOX to begin with, so I'm already biased against it.  There's only one or two titles I actually enjoy playing on either XBOX and that was the  Forza Motorsport games, and Fusion Frenzy.  I'm not a Halo fan, I don't like Madden, I dislike how Call of Duty is okay for teenagers to play even though there's a big white M on the box, and I find it quite uncomfortable to have to give a thumbs up with my left hand and a thumbs down with my right hand in order to play anything on that huge controller they have.  I have pictures showing just how bad it is in my hands, I can't reach X or Y with my thumb if my index and middle finger are on RB and RT at a comfortable place.  In order to reach those two buttons I have to choke up on the controller so I'm pushing RT with the inside of the second knuckle of my middle finger, and RB with the inside of the second knuckle of my index finger.  Now to move the right thumbstick I have to reach down further than before, arching my wrist, and giving my hand a claw-like appearance.  Trying to hit the B button like this is a nightmare, so I usually have to pretty much let go of the controller with my right hand to tap it.  My left hand has to do all the heavy lifting then, so I need to grip it harder with my left hand, which in turn means due to the wedge shape of the XBOX 360 controller I have to grab low and really reach high with my thumb the move the left stick around. I can't reach LT with my middle finger either, because it's holding up the entire weight of the controller.  All in all a very uncomfortable design, and it looks to be more of the same this time around.
