Looks like an overweight Beta Max player on a high carb weight gainer diet.
The 'issue' over used games? Oh dear. Awaiting further clarity. Paying a fee to use 'used' games...after having purchased them?
I'll give them a point for having motion and voice control, Skype, TV and Game switching capability? Games? Seems nothing more than a moderate PC can do now. The kinetic stuff I saw demoed in terms of version 2 seems clever. But I really don't want to jump around. I'd rather go out and do it for real. eg skipping in the back yard. (Great cardio work out...)
This going to sit on top of a Sky Box?
It now has Blue Ray?
Whoop de doo.
I guess PS4 has little to fear.
Apple either. If Apple can sell millions of Apple TV as a 'hobby' we only await the 'real' deal or further evolution of Apple TV.
Stick in a 'Rogue' class gpu in an iPhone, iPad or A.TV and I feel far more inspired by Apple's eco system than this VHS player wannabee.
Oh whoop. Another shiny black box! 0 for design guys.
I used to feel the same way, but recently I looked over at the wall with all the living room electronics and noticed how the "black boxes" all kind of disappear into the woodwork,while the Mac mini, Time Capsule and external drive scream out "Look at MEEEE!" with their bright, shiny finish. A plain, simple, STACKABLE black box is welcome, thank you.
Speaking of which, can't we establish a standard width for AV components so we can pile them up neatly?
You conveniently left out the quote where you were proven dead wrong- how convenient. Here it is again:

I seem to recall another product being lauded as universally negative. The iPad. Maybe we should finally learn to wait and see, huh?

As for the Apple TV as we know it now- I really hope it is improved greatly with the next iteration. I really hope Apple doesn't keep it as a hobby.

Because I wasn't and what you said is nonsensical.

So the iPad requires an Internet connection to work at all? It requires you to use the gyroscope and camera to use any of its functions? It wasn't backward compatible with any previous iPhone OS apps?
We don't have to wait.

Serious question. What have Sony announced that makes PS4 better than this? All I've read is that they announced games, but as the performance of the devices is roughly similar I don't see any reason to think there games will be better. Particularly when the biggest games these days come out on both platforms. I also remember them announcing a Kinect style bar as well, but it used regular cameras so won't even be as good as the original Kinect. So what will actually make the PS4 any better than the Xbox one.
the XBOne and others are proposing we use a voice and gesture UI, replacing the hand held remote. but is that how most consumers really want to do it? does it "feel right"? assuming it works good. these STB's also will likely have control apps for iOS and Android and Windows Phone (XBox anyway).
It would be nice if the Kinect could recognize the "middle finger gesture" when the XBOX ONE displays the RRoD, apologize and automatically submit a RMA with Microsoft for factory repairs if under warranty.

We do know Apple has been working on it, because Cook said so himself.
Tim Cook said "television", did he?
But voice and gesture recognition is absolutely the way of the future.

All right, then. Total agreement from me now.
No. Gesture... as in Minority Report.
Oh, no, then. That's not the future.
