On 22 November 2013, so there is a year to the day, Microsoft launched its eighth generation console, the woman who was hanged after the Xbox 360, Xbox One. The constructor for fêeter this anniversary, has already started the festivities by offering gifts to its loyal members.
We are therefore 23 November 2014 and the opportunity is found all to try take stock of this first year of the console. Nousa Vons tried to be as pragmatic as possible in order to offer you an objective point of what is now the universe Xbox One. This was not easy but we think we have our file and we hope you enjoy it.
Without further ado, here's our summary file:
Ultimately, this first year of life has been difficult for the Xbox One, even if, ultimately, the console is doing pretty well. If proof were needed that communication is what it takes to master the most to get to sell a product, the Xbox One is that. Microsoft, at the initial presentation of his new baby scared with DRM and its concept of being "always connected" Yet already in force in the world of telephony. Poorly explained, poorly presented, the console had yet ecosystem is appealing as is, but what the public will remember the most is that it will no longer sell its used games and will be spied permanently. Microsoft, at the time, opened a brêche Sony, at the conference that followed a few hours later, did not fail to tickle. The bad buzz was launched. Despite numerous announcements that followed to try to explain the benefits of the system and those to explain his dismissal, the damage was done and it took time for Microsoft to get to reverse the trend.
In addition, the complete change in policy has had as immediate consequence a complete overhaul of the OS console, its economic system and above all the network part of it. Duty, within weeks, change everything in a complex system like this has all the crazy engineers from the Redmond company. It must be recognized that the bet was daring and, overall, it was successful. However, all is not rosy. This huge overhaul, even a year later, still not fully completed and some uncorrected parts make life difficult for some users, especially those with a standard ADSL connection. Indeed, during the installation of a game, the console vérfie if there is an update available for it and the download before installing. The result? With a 2Mb connection, a game like Skylanders take nearly 3 hours to install - without being able to play - Ryse of Rome even more and Forza, forget it, it's indecent. Why has he not been corrected? This would seem to be more complex than it seems. Too bad.
The last point that Microsoft suffers, it is the material side. In short, everything that made the success of the Xbox 360, its excellent technical structure, seems to have migrated to the PS4 while all the defects of the PS3 seem them arriving on the Xbox One. Shared memory is handicapped by a poor choice of components for the selected memory is slow, the system became mandatory (and long), etc. Proof of this is the comparative of multiplatform games, still - almost - to the advantage of Microsoft in the previous generation are today mainly for the benefit of the Sony console. To believe that the people who developed the Xbox One never approached an Xbox 360. Too bad a.
Anyway, Microsoft did its best for the Xbox One is level - the number of fixes made in one year reflects this commitment - and it starts to pay. With all the big games that are finally starting to arrive, and promotions that bloom, the future is bright for the Xbox One, if it continues this momentum. See you in 2015 to see how the console has built on this new basis.
Meanwhile, Happy Birthday Xbox One!
