Xbox One also won't work unless you buy Kinect with it.
Everything new that I hear about The One makes me want to get it less and less. I think Microsoft is setting themselves up to fail with this one. To be honest, making you use Kinect in order to use The One is pretty much a total jerk move.
The backwards compatibility will be the killer. The PS4 is also not backwards compatible. At least the Wii-U can play Wii titles. This might actually give Nintendo a leg to stand on as I doubt people are going to be keen on ditching 7 years worth of games just to get a new title or two.
One of the main reasons I wont be getting it at all.
Also I believe its always online?

I don't really understand the backwards compatibility argument. I mean, being able to play your old games on new consoles is nice, but I keep my old consoles around for that reason... do other people throw them away or trade them in?
