I'll admit I am more interested in the Xbox One now that Microsoft's DRM policies are gone, but I just wish the damn thing didn't cost $500. It's the PS3 all over again; poor initial sales leading to multiple price cuts.
Consoles should not cost over $400. How will gaming become accessible to wider audiences if consoles cost so much? Good thing Nintendo is around to keep gaming affordable. Even Sony seems to have learned their lessons from launching the PS3 at $600.
