OP, you'll have to forgive me when I say I don't understand what you're trying to spread FUD about.
"while we talk about how KitKat can finally run on lower spec'd devices, Microsoft and Sony just came out with the most amazing consoles in years." - said no Android fan. Ever.
Are you trying to say that Microsoft will be left out of an unproven market yet? I'd rather Microsoft building their ecosystem through an all-in-one entertainment system that extends your devices to your TV instead of smart watches. Oh, wait, they've already done that. I've never seen a single person with a smart watch and I don't see there be any use for them for the price that these things will probably ask for.
That's possibly the most defensive comment I've heard from any ******, and I've been doing this since forums were dial-up BBS.
This is the classic MS mistake - preferring to sit on their fat asses and waiting for someone else to get into "unproven markets", as you put it. While they do this, someone else takes over that market and then you lot whine on WPcentral about how MS is actually awesome, but nobody understands them...
Right from Bill G's famous "640K should be enough for everyone", you see this. They decided the Internet would never be important. Then Google, Amazon and the rest came in and ate their lunch. They decided that anyone who wanted a smartphone would be a geek and so would accept complex but capable devices, and came out with Windows Mobile. Then Apple came along and proved that even regular consumers want smartphones, just that they can't be complex and need a stylus. MS got the message (after like 5 years) and came out with WP7. Again, Apple and Android were entrenched before WP even arrived on the battlefield.
