Too many ifs and buts.
I don't think it's possible to draw any conclusions from the presentation as reported in the media.
There are many more questions than answers.
I'm not suggesting it's bad. Indeed at first glance, it looks like it's one of Microsoft's better attempts at hardware. But equally, we just don't know.
It's a significant departure from what has gone before it, so like some of the xboxes, is it going to suffer from overheating? Will it stand up to sustained use? Is it going to be a stable platform? Will it be unnecessarily locked down? Is the underlying architecture still vulnerable? Not least, what's it going to cost? Why were journalists only given a few seconds to handle it? Why was one swapped on stage at the presentation - that suggests to me this is far from ready for prime time.
These are just a tiny fraction of the questions I could dream up in a few seconds. There must be hundreds of others.
It's quite ridiculous to hype up something of which so little is still known. It may be a sure fire winner. But I think it's a question of wait and see.
