I think it's a bit extreme to say that the XBox One reveal signals the end of gaming. The reveal could certainly hurt Microsoft's console division -- and it could have a larger impact on console gaming as a whole -- but the continued blunders of the console industry can only bolster an already rapidly-recovering PC gaming industry. The only people guaranteed to suffer from this reveal are the most devoted XBox fanatics.
It is the fact that they have done such really shitty things to the act of gaming, yet people will still buy it, and they know people will still buy it, the people who buy it are only making things worse because they are supporting something which can only be detrimental to gaming.
There many other things wrong with the industry, the main thing is the cash grab, sell everyone half a game and then charge them extra for the other half being the main one.
EA also.
Fuck EA.

This is why the Xbox One is the beginning of the end for the games industry.
Cannot play previous gen games.
1. It is not backwards compatible, it plays no 360 or original Xbox games.
Does not run games from CD.
2. All games purchased must be installed directly onto its hard drive, even if you have the disk. This hard drive is non detachable, meaning that it is going to run out of space, it does support external USB storage however, but this most likely will only be Xbox brand equipment, and means you forking out even more money when you could simply just pop the disk in.
The end of buying/trading used games.
3. Used games are no more. If you loan a game to your friend, when he tries to install it on his Xbox One, he has to pay a fee, equal to that of the games actual price, meaning your friend would have accomplished the same thing by going out and buying it from the shop. So swapping games with friends (a fundamental standard since the begging of gaming) is now over because Microsoft apparently aren't rich enough.
Always Online DRM
4. Always Online, now Microsoft say it doesn't need to be online all the time, but it has to "check in" at least once a day, which is just as bad as always online, if the internet goes down n your area (which can often be for days) or if you have money issues and cannot afford internet then you can play your Xbox for 24 hours and then it will lock you out until it can connect to the internet again.
The fact that the the new Xbox offers very little in new and improved features yet a harsh array of Orwellian restrictions just shows the direction that gaming is heading towards. All of these new countermeasures have been installed for one reason only, to generate more revenue. Almost nothing has been done to improve the overall gaming experience, but plenty has been done to restrict it.
The internet has already erupted with fury at this, but we all know what is going to happen, people will whine and complain and then when launch day comes they will sit in line for 6 hours and pay a months wage for something that just really will not improve their gaming experience but only limit it while spewing countless advertisements at them.
The gaming industry was once beautiful, but I just don't see it that way anymore.

Borders are one of the biggest problems humanity still has to get over.
Let me get this straight.
Your ancestors “found” new land slaughtered the natives then called it theres and now you cry about immigrants?

You just completely disregarded the question, Satan told Adam and Eve to eat the apple and therefore gain knowledge and the ability of critical thought and therefore the ability to make and understand our own choices. I am dumbfounded that someone who preaches a religion knows very little about said religion.
As for the visit, no thank you, I refuse to support anything that preaches slavery, rape, misogyny, sacrifice and discrimination.
Today, I’m going to tell everyone out there about a beautiful experience I had recently. The other night when I was praying, I was thanking Heavenly Father for the fact that He has a plan for me. And I started by saying, “Your plan,” then changed it to “my plan,” then settled on the phrase “Our…
