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.

oh how to continue make people move to the PS4 instead.
Hmmmmm we are releasing a console that really does nothing better than your Xbox 360, doesn't play any of your old games, is basically a media centre that well cant do that well either unless your in maybe the US or Japan because hey why not try to do it where Sony is and the look at Microsoft as that odd competitor which is like the red headed step child.
Wow they really have just made my mind up to ditch any loyalty and switch to the PS4.

Vishera So what's the point of getting it early?
To say you have one. I don't really see a point in getting it early besides the exclusives for the console.

Dr-Ponyfile I would wait till Christmas or the new year for both companies it gives them time to iron out the edges or problems they have with patches etc I don't really need it on day one.
I won't be getting it on Day One either. I really don't see a point. I'm going to wait until they fix all of the little bugs and plus, all the games I want are coming out on the 360.
