In any event, I don't think I'm going to suddenly buy XBox One because of a new Rare game though. Sorry but they lost my respect and attention long ago where this "Historic Rare IP" needs to be something astounding to make me take a look.
Some of the most interesting advances in games have been from the indie side. By taking that "no self publishing" stance Microsoft is basically letting "The Next Minecraft" appear on another platform. It is the same thing that happened last gen but now it is pretty much guaranteed.
Cloud infrastructure although resilient isn't impervious where just this year Microsoft had problems with an outage due to faulty certs. It is one thing if your cloud save is temporarily unavailable. It is another if you just can't play the game because of their outage.
If you can get away with it, don't buy the TV today. Go look at several stores and then sleep on it. Otherwise you can't really mess it up as long as you stick with your budget.
