5. Focus On Kinect
In case you haven't gathered yet, I'm not a particularly big fan at all of Microsoft's Kinect; though it's a fine enough rebuke to the Wii in principle, and it might be fun for half an hour, there's been not a single substantial game released for it that actually suggests the hardware is part of the evolution of gaming. Nevertheless, Microsoft are evidently fully invested in its future, because the Xbox One ships with a new Kinect model, using a 1080p camera, capable of discerning 6 skeletons at once, as well as tracking heart-rates and gestures. The thing is, personally, I just don't really care all that much about all of this; I'm more interested in the
games, not the gimmicks used to sell them. Given the Kinect's rather lackluster track record to date, it's hard to believe that 2.0 is really going to be a whole lot better.
