2 down, 1 to go.

So yeah, I'm completely unimpressed by the Xbox One. This tosses any remaining hope for Microsoft to sell me on the thing down the gutter. It joins the Wii U, which is completely benign compared to what Microsoft plans on doing.

However, I don't compare two turds and insist on eating the one that looks a little cleaner.

Waiting on Sony's official reveal/promo for the PS4 although everything I've heard about it so far is unimpressive or just as offensive. So I'm not expecting to have my wallet open to the video game industry much longer. "Modern" video game industry that is.

Granted, I want out of this industry already so it's an uphill battle for them to sell me on it to begin with. But that's besides the point. It's their own fault it's an upward battle for them to begin with, given I utterly hate most of the business choices they've made in the later half of this generation.

Yeah, the more I've heard about the X-bone, the more I hate it. Before, I was ambivalent about it, then just apathetic about it, but now I am actively opposed to it and hope it fails terribly. The news about it just gets worse and worse. (I'll refrain from putting a wall of text into this comment and just say to see my own LJ for details, if you haven't seen it already. The thing about the Kinect and Microsoft's patent is scary enough, even if you ignore all of the other bullshit.)

The whole debacle is yet another shining beacon, probably the brightest yet, that illuminates just how far the video game industry has sunk.
