Initial thoughts on hearing the name: Xbox One
Terrible name. Far worse than PS Vita, Wii U and 3DS.
After reading what the console promises...
From what I have read, it's the following case;
1) Do you like watching TV shows? Buy a Xbox One!
ELSE
2) Buy a Wii U / PS4 / Great PC
There is apparently some solution to the used games problem but so far they've remained shifty about it, presumably it involves paying a one-time fee to activate a used game but we'll see in due time.
So far no major Xbox-only titles and the lack of support for indies is strange at best.
I'm enjoying Black Ops 2 too much right now, with good customisation, Ghosts might be fun but I'm not entirely sure that a yearly release for a CoD game is a good idea. The old games had dogs already so unless this does something amazing, it will be just another CoD going up against Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six (which already do squad-based things fantastically).
So far the PS4 is winning everyone in terms of coolness and appeal, time will tell to see who will win the console war (if one even exists anymore due to diversification)
