Xbox One: Ahead of Its Time or a Missed Opportunity?

The Xbox One was both ahead of its time and a disaster. It predicted the future of gaming consoles becoming all-in-one entertainment boxes, but explained and implemented the vision poorly.

The idea of always online gaming was not right for 2013, and the Kinect was a disaster that raised the console's price $100 over the PS4.
