Steven Asarch for Kotaku:

The [announcement] event spent most of its run time hyping up the Xbox One’s capabilities as an all-in-one media box and its integration with television, in addition to being a gaming console.

Next to Nintendo’s Wii U announcement, this was the most confused I’d been as to whether or not I, a lifelong gamer, was the target audience for a console.
