Phil Spencer comments on Xbox One OS and Live issues

4.7
Xbox One launch is shaping up to be a disaster soon as rumors of the OS being broken and Xbox Live stability issues are appearing all over the internet. Microsoft’s Phil Spencer denies these claims.

First of all, the rumor emerged from doddscientifics, which is being run by famousmortimer, a NeoGAF users with apparent ties to some of the industry insiders. The track record of famousmortimer is pretty clean and most of the stuff he has leaked before has proven to be true. In his latest leak, he talks about Xbox One OS and Live having issues prior to launch. The gist of all this was that Xbox Live and OS were having severe issues. As posted by mortimer

"The short story is that Xbox Live and the OS, especially in functions that involve XBL, are a complete f***ing mess. One source says we aren’t talking weeks until it works correctly but “months.” Things like parties dropping people when moving from one thing to another. Connectivity issues. Missed invites. Friend requests not working, etc."

This is a bold claim right there and something that doesn’t look well for a console that is so close to launch. A twitter user approached Phil Spencer on this issue to which Phil Spencer replied that they were playing the SP and MP nightly. Anyone can post such ‘stuff’ to the internet.

The rumour came from neogaf aka Sonygaf, if you've ever been on that forum you would realise how corrupt it is, saying PS is bad = ban.

I don't even think I will buy it on the launch to be honest. No point in getting the console if I have no money saved up for any games...

I don't believe these rumors. Xbox One will be fine.

It'll be fine for launch, so everyone just pipe down.

I can only hope that the Xbox one will function the right way when it comes out.

What do you expect? It's a new console of course there are going to be some issues.

ODSTPosted:

I wonder why these are just now showing up. It's not like the XBL demo and OS demos weren't months ago. Hope they can sort it out but if not, I'm sorry for all owners of "next-gen" hardware that looks like it will be using a service similar to dial-up now. (This is not a regards as a rant from a Sony fanboy or any other crap like that, this is just an apology that any Xbone owner will have an OS that will suck despite multiple years of development.)

hopefully this works and these are just false. I don't wanna have a messed up console.

OneCupPosted:

this sounds bad, i really hope they can get there stuff together, if there not ready for day 1. it will impact MicroSoft in a very bad way.

"To all the friendly redditers, I have a very reliable source who has used the QFE 5 version of Xbox One's OS and it's perfectly fine"

"I'm told there are a few niggling missing features but everything else is fine #XboxOneOSGate"

"I'm also told from source X1 OS is in better shape than PS4 OS, but both will be ready for launch"
