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.

Everyone loves to see the big guy fall and MS is the big guy in the US. Today Titanfall was confirmed an exclusive even though the experts said no or probably no. In the end the SEC rules placed on MS employees is to blame for them not coming out and saying what is what. I plan on getting a first look when the bring the demo to Houston in a few days.

I think everyone needs to just take a few deep breaths.

As far as errors go, sure the PS3 console itself is better than the 360 (mainly because of the RROD), but the online service is by far better on the 360. XBL has never been shut down for any amount of time by someone or some hacking group...

Pashtun THEY ARE RELEASING A BROKEN CONSOLE!


every console has its problems upon release but they will be fixed within weeks


When the 360 came out the RROD was a big problem for months :/


It has continued to be a problem for Microsoft's reputation over the past few years as well. Hopefully they fix most of the problems up before the Xbox One's release

I trust Microsoft to make the consoles as good as they can be for launch.
