'Day One' update for Xbox One will take 15-20 minutes to download
In IGN's latest update to its ongoing "Ask Microsoft Anything" Q&A, Microsoft's Xbox One Chief Platform Architect Marc Whitten was asked about the file size of the Day One update and how long it will take to install. Whitten stated;
We are optimizing Xbox One so that the day one update is as fast as possible. While we’re still finalizing the details, we expect that the download will take between 15 and 20 minutes for most users.
That's still going to be a rather lengthy amount of download time and it suggests that the Day One patch will be quite large. It's going to be an interesting test of Microsoft's servers as all those new buyers of the Xbox One download the update at around the same time.
Whitten also indicated that, just like the Xbox 360, Microsoft will update the Xbox One's dashboard once or twice a year following the launch, stating, " ... we will continue to learn from what customers want and love to iterate on the best dashboard experience." Whitten was noncommittal in terms of the Xbox One getting its own Twitter and Facebook apps, stating, "While I can’t comment on the specifics of these two partners right now, at launch you will be able to access Twitter and Facebook through the Internet Explorer web browser on Xbox One at launch."

Mortar "Expect the download to take 15-20 minutes for most users." That means that I will be spending easily an hour downloading the update. Whilst it is a shame that the update will be considerably large, it is expected. Hopefully there won't be an issues after the release which could be cause for more updates.
More than likely there were will be. It's common with most new things nowadays.

-Skillz 15-20 minutes really isn't bad though
It isn't. If you're about to pay $500 for a console, a 20 minute wait shouldn't be a big deal to anyone.

I don't see this as a big deal at all. If you're paying the $500 for the console, a little extra wait shouldn't be a big deal to anyone.
