Rather than focus on the games to appease the gamers, Microsoft took the approach to show off the Xbox Ones media side and show its ability to play television and all of the things our set top boxes have been doing for years. The vocal group of gamers ran to their twitter, facebook, forums, and other outlets to voice their concerns about how Microsoft had abandoned the gamers. Considering these consoles were created to play games on, the lack of games was very disappointing. "
