At E3, Microsoft says "Here's the screens, the controller, the xbox one and some upcoming games. Play."

People who know its specs become suspicious of the surprisingly high quality graphics beyond what the Xbox One's specs should be capable of take a peek under the hood to discover Desktop PCs running Windows 7.

Hating on Microsoft after the Xbox one debacle is NOT fresh, therefore I do not condone it.

I just think it's funny that, when you think about it, it's Microsoft.

They could have anything they want running on those computers. What do they have? Windows 7. Not 8. 7. To make the best impression they possibly can, they put windows 7 onto the computers that they pretend are their consoles.

And what's the thing on the right side next to the PC?

What is the smaller thing next to the PC?

I'd guess it's an external water cooling radiator.

Also I'm not buying a console

Why buy consoles in the first place? Just buy a computer and be done with it.

I might get a PS4 but I'm certainly not preordering it or lining up on launch day to get one.

Thinking about the PS4 too. The Xbone just looks horrible. I guess M$ changed their mind on the "log on every 24 hours thing or you can't play games and your console becomes a usless paperweight that might be cool for a relaxing game of dominos with your best buds" deal.

I'm going to wait a while and see what happens. I'm not in a rush to get the newest thing.

Another reason why PC (with Windows 7) is better than console.

I do prefer playing games on my PC but sometimes I just want to lounge on my couch and play a game.

I built my own battle station. Complete with leather corporate titan reclining chair. I sometimes go on gaming marathons where i simply play till I'm tired. stop. push the keyboard and mouse away, sleep just like that, wake up. Continue playing. Only stopping for kittens/food and other duties... Blitzkrieg gaming I like to call it. ^.^

Once did MWO for 33 hours straight. slept 4 combat hour nap. Continued for another 20. Fiber food and a bear sized bladder helps tho :>

That sounds like way too much work for me. I also wouldn't have the space for it.

Well it's actually space saving since I combined my work table/computer setup/bed all in one setup! 1.5m by 1.5m of space. A nice big wooden table. One big *** corporate leather chair (that B*** was expensive :V). a few order polished wood pieces, 1 or 2 hours of planning and some drilling here and there. I realized the genius setup in one of my euphoric revelries... Took about about a week to find all the necessary goods and about a few hours to set things up...

I'm actually thinking of taking it a step further and designing an atlas shaped cockpit around it. ^.^
