I'm not sure I believe that, although I do think it was rushed. I think both were rushed but the XBone more so than the PS4 because Sony forced MS hand.
I do think that it's utterly ridiculous that the XBone is like twice the size of the PS4 and still requires a monstrous power brick. It's almost 2014 for chrissakes.

I haven't seen the power brick since the first day I hooked up the console. I realize it's just a complaint out of principle though.

Yeah, it's not about having to look at it. I realize that a good percentage of people put these things in an entertainment center or tv stand and never touch it for years. But how can a tech company develop several iterations of the 360 and how the XBone and still not figure out how to put the power unit INSIDE the console? It's baffling.
The Wii and Wii U are pretty tiny machines. They both have power bricks but are microscopic compared to the Xbox. And at least the Wii U is about (maybe more) powerful than a 360.
I guess they need more Japanese design engineers or something because whomever they have now aren't cutting it if they can't figure this shit out by now.

You could probably use it as a griddle/hot plate too if you wanted. Cook breakfast and play Forza simultaneously.

And you can snap the food channel to follow the recipe. Win/win/win.

Make sure you program that channel though, you might get sent to ESPN.

believe what you want but I got my info right from the source. The refresh will be what they were originally gunning for their launch.

I guess we won't know until 2015. It seems awfully fishy that someone working on the XBone, whom you know signed a crazy NDA, would just blab this info to you friend.

Really surprised Titanfall won for most anticipated game. Didn't think it would get the recognition like Destiny due to being exclusive.

[christguz]

I'm actually happy with the results. It's been a good year for gaming.

Really?!? You were serioisly surprised? With as much as all the outlets have been slobbing on this game's knob? Give me a fucking break.

Or is it more likely that you're trying to sneak in some humble praise? I'm not falling for it. I think we all get it. You would suck Vince Zampella's dick if guven the opportunity. Hopefully that wish will come true for you one of these days.

Love the title they used: "Xbox Blockbusters Win Big at VGX 2013" ...

12 awards, but only 2 of them are Xbox only.
