In Microsoft's case, it was all revealed on the same day.

Might be just me, but I sort of care how the console itself looks haha.

All in all, I am also afraid I'll be shelling out a bunch of cash when these things both release, assuming these won't have production shortages.

I'm probably in the minority, but I wasn't much impressed. I know that they want the new xbox to be the center of the living room, but I buy a console to play games. I really don't care about tv and internet integration.

I'll probably get one eventually anyway, but I'll most likely get the ps4 first. But since I already have a wii u, I won't be buying either until next year maybe.

Microsoft has slowly been alienating all of its hardcore fan base by trying to win over the 'Apple generation' who care about stupid stuff like pretending their tablet is a piano and actually enjoying it, or playing their music from their desktop computer through their alarm clock using their phone as a remote while sending a picture of their cat to their mom's laptop.
Thanks to this, the people who actually preferred Microsoft products exactly because they were not like that are getting the short end of the stick, and now Windows 8 and all new Microsoft products come with all the gimmicks and annoyances of mobile computing, even when one is trying to use a desktop PC.

XBOX ONE=XBOX 360 - 359

The new XBOX looks like a futuristic rendition of a VHS player. They took a piece of crap and put a piece of cilantro on it to try and get people to buy it. Look at how much effort they put into the reveal with Steven Spielsburg and COD ghost and how the audience was just mildly amused. It looks like they are trying to convince there shareholders to keep a stake in their business which is ironic since playstation stock went up substantially after the reveal. Great try Microsoft but no cigar(always wanted to use that cliche).
