Xbox One won’t get a lot of “stuff” 360 has for “for a while”
IGN posed to Penello that Microsoft’s promise of all these great Xbox One features might be miss-selling the console to territories that won’t be receiving them, he replied, “I think even in the U.S., there’s going to be a lot of stuff that was on 360 that isn’t going to be on Xbox One for a while.
“Y’know, it’s an interesting dynamic that you find yourself in with console launches, but particularly when you’re coming from a super mature platform… in the old days of console transitions, the expectation of what would be moving to the next console was basically isolated to games. And if you think about all the stuff we’ve done with Xbox 360 and how much it’s different in the last ten years, you basically have ten years of innovation, ten years of experiences, and then, trying to take that and build an entirely new platform, with new hardware and a new software architecture.
“I mean, I totally understand people’s frustrations, and it’s hard to give an answer beyond the fact that, from my seat, it’s a console transition and this is part and parcel. There’s a lot of things that we’ll talk about in our vision for the product that aren’t going to be there at launch.”
Then came some Xbox One TV talk, which seems to be Microsoft’s ‘go-to’ topic as of late. Penello continued, “TV, if you want to continue, would be another criticism. We talk a lot about TV and that’s only going to work basically in Japan and the U.S. at launch where you have HDMI-in scenarios, so you’ll say ‘hey, what if I have a terrestrial over the air?’
“We won’t have a solution for that right away, but we still sell it as part of the vision. So it’s honest criticism and you’d love to have the new launch be everything that you had before and more, but unfortunately it’s an untenable [proposition].”
What do you think of Microsoft selling this “vision” as one complete package to territories that won’t be able to experience it for a while? Let us know what you think below.

Aggie Then why are they going to release it? I dont want to play the Xbox 360 on a different console.
Do you expect a decades worth of stuff to be transferred all at once. It isn't that easy.
It is easier said than done.
Either way, it will still be the best console!

That is to be expected. Bringing over nearly a decade worth of things over in a matter of months isn't really to be expected.

Texans I really don't care the Xbox one is going to be great anyways.
It is, but they should finish all stuff before releasing it.

Me too but Microsoft and Sony are trying to open their demograph by adding TV services etc for the family and not just the general gamer.

-Ampbrendan64shark Ya I really don't care the Xbox one is going to be great anyway.
You say that, but the console hasn't even come out yet.
The console may not be out yet but if you look at what has been confirmed and what hasn't both companies Sony and Microsoft will probably have a rocky road ahead of them with issues regarding to online connectivity this is what I can see anyways on launch day everybody crashing the servers with the amount of people trying to connect at one time.
