The official abbreviation for this is the XBO and its pronounced X-BOOOOOOOOO. ( Similar to when Jeff talked about Big BOOOOOOOOOO from that one bad game. )
I didn't give a fuck about consoles and was just going to stick to PC, but I'm getting this. Going to buy 3 at midnight launch.
I was really pissed off when Microsoft banned my GFWL gamertag when I pissed them off by trolling them on PartnerNet with my Dev Kit (before they started IP whitelisting). They got mad and perma banned my account I never did anything wrong on and only had Steam games on.
Guess it's time to create an xbox live account again.

Isn't it time to segue from rage to sorrow on this story?
Everyone (with the exception of Sony) wanted a good Microsoft console. A good Microsoft console forces Sony to be better, and vice versa. Moreover, next gen games are going to need to depend for the most part on massive cross-platform sales, so we need compelling reasons for people to migrate. Anyone happy that the XBox One is weak is crazy.
Microsoft has failed us twice in a row: a tablet that can't compete with Apple and now a console that can't compete with Sony. Even for someone like me who was burned by Windows Vista, this shouldn't be a reason to celebrate.
I'm still on board with XBox for a few reasons. 1) Exclusives. MS has more that I like. The only PS4 exclusive that really interests me is Last of Us. Just my preference. 2) Don't care about the DRM stuff. I'll be buying everything digitally anyway. In that use case, it'll work just like Steam. 3) I don't usually buy used games. I just wait until they go on sale and pick them up dirt cheap. 4) My kid loves Kinect.
