Pros
-8 Gigs of Ram
-Upgraded Video and Primary Processors
-Blu-Ray
-New and Better Controller (Improved everything, buttons, D-pad, Sticks, Triggers)
-Multi Media Support
-GamerScore carries over
-Games can play completely off the hard drive, and will not need the disc after installed
-Built in Video Capture and Live Streaming
-USB Harddrives supported
-Multiple users on the same console can have access to all game content owned by the primary user
-Can sell back digital purchases to Microsoft for a small reimbursement
-Not always online
Cons
-Kinect must be connected, and functioning at all times for the system to even turn on and remain active
-Back and Forward Buttons missing, Replaced with View and Menu buttons, Home Button removed entirely and replaced by voice commands.
-Kinect 2.0
-Kinect built in at the start (meaning everyone will have a kinect, and MAY have more support)
-Games cannot be taken over to someone else's house and used on their console unless you log in on your account and play your account only. (Co-op permitted as long as the game owner's account is logged in and playing)
-All games have a mandatory install
-Internal HD cannot be upgraded, standard model is 500GB
-No backwards compatibility for Xbox, 360 or XBLA games
-Internet connection required (Has to sync once every 24hrs, if the system does not sync after the 24hrs are up, it becomes unusable until it has synced. Every game you purchase MUST sync with Microsoft's servers before you're allowed to play)
Debatable pro's list.
-8 Gigs of Ram - Not a pro, the PS4 also has this but GDDR5
-Upgraded Video and Primary Processors - Not a pro was expected and the PS4 has 50% more power in it's gpu 1.84 TFLOPS GPU on the PS4 compared to 1.2TFLOPS on the Xbox One.
-Blu-Ray - Not a pro, the PS4 already has this
-Kinect 2.0 - Kinect is not a pro
-Kinect built in at the start (meaning everyone will have a kinect, and MAY have more support) - This is also not a pro
-New and Better Controller (Improved everything, buttons, D-pad, Sticks, Triggers) - This is to be expected
-Multi Media Support - My windows 95 pc does this
-GamerScore carries over - WOW
-Games can play completely off the hard drive, and will not need the disc after installed - Meaning your used games are worth nothing
-Built in Video Capture and Live Streaming - The PS4 has this
-USB Harddrives supported - Once again, my windows 95 pc has this
-Multiple users on the same console can have access to all game content owned by the primary user - This already exists on most consoles
-Can sell back digital purchases to Microsoft for a small reimbursement - And pay full price again for the next game you buy...
-Not always online - It should be anyway...

In what way are they going to hit rock bottom? They'll come out on top, people fail to see that the reveal conference was... well just that, a reveal. A lot of those cons are hyped up, and it's about time someone stepped up and made the leap to advance hardware. I couldn't even bring myself to read the entire list as it's nonsense really, everyone I've asked is hyped up for the new Xbox, don't know why the media is portraying it in such a bad light. E3 will spell the change in the media, Halo & Gears combined with new franchises and sequels will swing the market. Looking forward to E3, I'm not really into all the Kinect stuff but if it works like it did in the Microsoft demo then I'm stocked to use it.
I'm glad to say that the majority of users on TTG aren't moronic Sony fanboys, hopefully people can see sense.

One of the biggest companies bringing out the most advanced home game system thus far and you think they'll hit rock bottom; I think not.

It is more advanced than their current offering...therefore it is advanced.
Thinking they will fail because of a few minor things mentioned is ridiculous.

I'll vote you up one for neg voting me :*
You have honestly 0 clue about the technology behind the console. Until you have a basic understanding of what is happening on the new console, please do just keep your ridiculous view to yourself. Just the fact it is running on a whole new kernel that will make the system severely better than the current Xbox's; is a major improvement. The whole system is upgraded and highly advanced.
If you wish to correct me; replicate the system, get everything coded from scratch, create all the components from scratch and prove to me the system is not advanced.
