It was more of Kinect2 reveal than XO reveal. But they confirmed kinect2 in every box and it has to be on for XO to work. COD ghost was the best thing about the the show.

It looks really big like the old Nintendo console. Controller looks even bigger.

Well, to be fair, the one thing that looks real nice about the xbone is the controller. Finally a d-pad that doesn't look horrendous.

I have ALWAYS loved the placement of the left thumbstick and the 360 pad was a great thing to behold but as far as the new pad goes that`s the only thing that makes me wanna hold one.

The thumbstick layout of the Playstation pads has always felt a little bit odd to me and less comfortable buy hey, this time around I have to admit that the PS4`s jpypad design as a whole is
looking far better IMHO.

Both are nice but my money can only be placed in one camp only due to not having an awful lot to spend on this generation so thus far Sony have my reddies!

The reason to be happy about the controller (imo) is that i just assume we'll keep getting good support for it on PC and again, finally that piece of shit d-pad looks like it's fixed. I really think the PS4 pad looks great too, they've fixed my major gripes with the sixaxis, but i doubt it'll be as good for pc gaming. I mean, the 360 pad, just plug that shit in and go for it, and i see no reason why taht wouldn't be the case with the xbone controller as well.

Does the xbone controller come in a wired variety? Isn't that the only one that works plug and play with PC?

I'm just assuming obviously. But i really do hope that i'll be able to upgrade my 360 pad to a xbone pad once it's out.

Doesn't the xbone controller have rechargeable batteries? I'd assume that's done via USB, so that's the cord right there if nothing else.

edit: Some quick googling reveals that there is a port on the back of it that looks a lot like a micro usb.
