3. Lack Of Coverage
Then we have the seeming lack of hands-on coverage, with scarcely any big name sites getting any time away from the all-seeing eyes of Sony or Microsoft. There's no shortage of company-approved video interviews with increasingly tired Xbox Director Major Nelson being trotted out to hammer home just how much 'innovation' there's been put into Xbox's new controller, for example. Integrated the battery pack and adding extra rumble into the triggers in a way that doesn't do a single thing for any of the limited launch games so far doesn't justify? Great stuff. £100 extra than your competitor yeah? I'll take two, and sign me up to your future Kinect's 'Always On' scheme while you're at it. Being that one of the first pieces of homegrown content out the Xbox camp following Sony's thrashing of them at E3 was Major Nelson unpacking an Xbox One in a manner akin to someone who's worked retail for half a millennia, it didn't do a whole lot to get across that there was any modicum of excitement up in Xbox Tower. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbrmAsxJPv4 Can you feel the love?
