Pretty much what you all said.
It was bollocks. Don't give a crap about shitty generic lazy half-arsed games like Madden, Fifa, NBA and the other yearly released piles of wank. Don't give a crap about the insane snoozefest that is Forza. Don't care about social gaming. Absolutely hate windows 8. I don't care for INSTANTLY flicking through TV.
Whenever they did announce games, it was generic sheeple shite that only the brain dead goons wants. CoD, Fifa, NBA, Madden, Halo, Forza...so we have an interesting new IP but that was minimal compared to the others. I was watching with a friend and we even called out the same games. No fighting games, no RTS, no puzzle, no sims, no rhythm, no adventure just....generic crap. We need games for gamers.
Also a point about that. It makes me think that people who think this is a great idea play into the stereotype of 'lazy Americans'. "Oh noez, first world problems. I want to conveniently flick between TV, gaming and other apps". Is there some sort of huge widespread problem that means we urgently need the ability to not pick up the remote or something. It's so dumb and it has NOTHING to do with gaming. Like Beware of Coconuts said, I just wanna put a game in a go. THat WiiU is looking pretty promising right about now.
Edit: Plus the whole "you may have to install games" is a huge turn-off.
