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.

I really think Albert Penello needs to rethink what he says about the product before release.

tuneddown the xbox one will be great
the ps4 will be good too but i see no difference between ps4 and ps3
This is one of the single dumbest posts I've ever seen... I'm surprised you were able to see a difference in the 360 and One.

I won't be buying the xbox one for ages, until the price has gone down, i'm sticking with my 360 like many others.

Yeah... This means I'm not going to get it for a while.... Honestly, MS don't sound too confident with their own product when it comes to video games. I'll stick with the 360 until the kinks are fixed. Though, I hardly play games anymore...

I might get the Xbox One a year or 2 after release, just so the price drops and the console is finished.

ArmoredHazmat Your buying a $500 console for just games? Wow!
ImEnergyHD As long as it can play games I will be happy.
That's the only reason I get a console to be honest, games.

Envelope I am going to wait for the price to go down.
Same here, I want to see what was not included at launch.
