Doc on The Box, Well the XBox One That Is

xboxoneAfter a less than extraordinary showing Microsoft revealed today what their new system is. Naming their system the Xbox One almost giving it a retro feel they’ve also given the retro to the unit itself which is more reminiscent of the original first line of VHS that hit the market back in the late 80’s.

Microsoft did not show a lengthy title of games to come only that they would be providing new titles to the franchise. The idea of mixing games and Internet browsing is nothing substantially new to the gaming ecosphere, Apple has done this for some time with their airplay feature and games. Their controller seems nothing set apart from what they are ready have established and the new camera does not seem anything substantially next generation.

Let’s be honest as people throw out the words “next-generation console” the way technology is bounding we are headed for the future video games in more like a hollow deck experience from Star Trek or the danger room from the X-Men.

So this time is crucial to be a standout in the gaming field as a leader of innovation and not a revamped tool which is what Microsoft has done with their new camera which was based on their old camera which was originally done on PlayStation 2 with the Eye Toy. If anything from this, Microsoft showing they have shown how to watch TV which we have already knew about and make our gameplay that much more annoying by incoming Internet explorer alerts or Skype messages.

I know I am not alone in this thinking. the market itself reflects what consumers are thinking and in which way they’re shifting as Sony had a stock jump of 9.1% after the Microsoft press conference.

As I sat back and watched with a fellow gamer, shortly after he started to send me memes and parody videos that started to flood the web less than minutes after the completion of the conference.

This all of course reflects the overall attitudes the gamers already have about Microsoft’s next-generation system. On June 10th gamers will really see what the next generation of gaming has to offer. I guarantee that nightfall on June 10th will really show who has the foothold in the current next-generation gaming console war.

About Sam Castanon

I have been Gaming since Atari 2600 was released. Space Invaders was my game and technically my 1st shooter. I was the kid that always totted his Turbo Graphics 16 Turbo Express around with him playing Devil's Crush Pinball because I believed I was going to be the next Digital "Tommy" I won my 1st game competition in 1998 having the fastest time in the world for Resident Evil 1 and 2 back to back at my local GameWorks, before games where seriously tracked. SoCom later became a big part of my gaming life. I even went on to compete as part of the ATF clan (Avenge The Fallen) Sony took notice of me and asked me to be part of a groundbreaking experience. The 1st console only gamer reality show: The Tester. As a response to the fans the show: Replay with Doc in the PlayStation Home community theater was born. Over the past several years a secret alliance with Urgent Fury was taking place. Not known to many I have been an Staff on UF for a while, secretly watching the comings and goings. UF has the best motto that applies from the actual battlefield to the digital one: "Win with Honor…Lose with Dignity"
