Xbox One is a piece of crap. It requires you to connect to the internet every 24 hours. Or else, you can't play. Some games and services will require a persistent connection. If you are somewhere without any Internet connection at all, such as a military base, you will NOT be able to use Xbox One.
If you borrow your friend's game, you can't play it. It's linked to their account. This is absolute bs.
Kinect scans and checks how many people are in the room, and can charge per person when playing a movie.
They also scan the room to see if you leave your tv when commercials are playing, etc. so they can report that information back.

It's basically one gigantic invasion of privacy to another. Console gaming is going to die. It's been on the decline ever since the advent of smartphones.
Not so sure about them getting lucky...they really seemed to know their audience with the wii and the commercials and promotion reflected that. People in the states atleast really liked the "japanese" and "family" vibe of the commercials. Plus I hear you are more likely to get laid by having a wii (girls dig it totally) ...rather than an xbox or ps3. At least That is what i heard...havent had the opportunity to test it out.
You get laid by confidence and game. By game, people don't mean owning a certain videogame system. Nintendo is considered the more "social" system out of the three because it's made for the casual gamer. Nintendo knows their market.
