Well it doesn't do DVR so I think one strike against it
In my experience though, the negativity is already seeping through.
It may not be a big issue for people. But when folks hear buzz words like they won't "own" their games or they are just "renting" property... it does start to catch on
Hell not even trying to defend MS' policy but had to clarify it for several of my friends already because they only know what you can't do with the system
I also think the price is a huge barrier to entry even if it replaces all of those devices.
