The outrage at the leak is more laughable than the $499 price point.
And no, SomewhatGroovy, the leak did not affect their ability to explain the value proposition of the XBO X; they did a sad fucking job of that, so the timing of the price point's announcement didn't matter. Had MS come out with guns blazing, showing tons of amazing AAA content that truly used the power of the XBO X in exciting ways rather than a slew of 4k indie games, maybe people would have accepted that the price is worth it. As it is, though, we saw a bunch of upscaled XBO/PC games and several indie teasers for games so far away that they'll be ready "when it's damn ready."
