Do any supposed features of the Xbox One make or break your want of it?
In other words, is there one feature that makes you either want to buy it or not want to buy it? For me, the key issue is the idea that games can only be bought new, either through retailers or by digital download (or some combination of both). I buy a ton of used games, and I certainly don't want to pay full price for every single game. If that rumor is true, even partly, it makes me flat out refuse to ever buy the Xbox One.
Another issue is the "always-online" controversy, but it doesn't necessarily make me not want to buy it. I think it's ridiculous though, especially with the spotty internet that we have. Even the best ISPs have off-days, and we shouldn't have to suffer because of it. That said, I hope if they do choose to implement that idea that they come up with a reliable fail-safe in case that happens.
On the other hand, the one thing I do like about the console is the Blu-Ray player, but it doesn't sell me on it. After all, my PS3 already does that, and it's one generation back. I also like that the controller isn't some weird mashup of new buttons and that it will remain relatively similar to the 360's controller, which I think is a really effective design as it is.
