What Microsoft did wrong with Xbox One.

29th May, 5 replies

As many of you all know, Microsoft just recently revealed their Xbox 360 successor, the Xbox One. What some of you may not have known is that Wii U sales skyrocketed after the reveal; Sony stocks also increased greatly. This leads people to see what was wrong with the Xbox One, let's start with the basics.

1) The machine itself looks like a VCR box. The controller is also clunky and flat out ugly.
2) Microsoft barely gave any details as to what the One does. However, Live will be increased in price when the Xbox One releases. How much? About ten dollars more; a total 15 bucks a month.
3) If you own Astro headsets, or Turtle Beach Headsets, or even a Madcatz headset, you're out of luck; according to testers, you CANNOT use your own headsets with the Xbox One. You must purchase Microsoft headsets.
4) This isn't confirmed yet, but the Xbox One is strongly thought to run completely online. You have no choice to just own the machine; kinda like owning a car, you constantly make payments on it (Xbox One being live).
5) According to numerous sources and testers, the GPU and overall system performance is behind that of the PS4; granted it does beat the Wii U.
6) I just recently heard of this; apparently, if you do not sign in to your account every once in a while, it WILL be deleted by Microsoft regardless if you have a membership.

This is all i heard that i thought to be total fails. If you do not believe me, look up anything about Xbox One specs and other essentials on the machine.

    I will say that the Xbox One has interesting ideas (the family thing, for example) that look to be poorly implemented. Why put in something like having 10 people have access to a game, when only one other person can play it. It's like dangling a carrot in front of an animal and tugging it away at the last second.

    It also has things that are just downright horrible, like the once in a 24 hour reconnect to the internet. If you don't have access to your internet after 24 hours, you can't play any of your games. I understand that constant internet access is almost common, but there are still places that don't have internet access.

    Now we'll see if Microsoft will do something to sabotage the 360, so that people will be forced to move on to the One.
