Wait, guys, how exactly do you expect Microsoft to patch a hardware issue? If the headphone jack in the new console isn't the same, universal jack everyone else uses, then how will patching work exactly?

Oh right. Hey, if what I predicted happens and the other half baked shit gets patched in with the big "nono" features they supposedly removed before, I fucking called it first.

That's exactly the problem - this is a corner that Microsoft have backed themselves into, and an issue that they could've avoided if they had any sense of foresight and patience. But nope, apparently getting the fucking thing out the door before the PS4 hits shelves takes priority over that.

360 was 360 times easier than the PS3 for people to hack. I'm pretty sure with all the supposed extra features they'll open up an unexpected back door for hackers to get in there. That's one of those reasons they wanted the system to be online at all times when you're playing a game... so now that they got rid of that so they didn't flop this system, I'm sure it must be more vulnerable now... and probably why you'll have to update it right out of the box so they can continue updating ways to combat this before launch.

Day One Update will have bug fixes and remove the online part.

Question: What if you can't get online to download the day one update?

Then no Xbox One usage for you, unfortunately. Because apparently Microsoft couldn't just remove the always online shit from the console before they started mass manufacturing.

Alos guess what? If you're playing a game with friends on the same console and you both get an achievement at the same time, the notification will be colour-coded in an attempt to be less confusing. Said colour can be customised by each player, but the notification will default to green otherwise.

Considering this is from 4chan it'd be fair to keep your salt shakers handy, but... really, would this actually surprise anyone?

Honestly, no, it wouldn't, like, not even a little bit. I've been saying it all along; these consoles were pointless because there isn't really any radically superior new technology out there that'll make them that much more different than the current generation of consoles. If anything, you could probably get the same results out of the PS3 and 360 if devs started releasing games that really pushed the hardware. At the end of the day, it's very clear they'll be using tricks and shortcuts to make their games look a lot better than they actually are.

As for the numbnuts above, is this the same douchebag who wanted the always online crap?
