Xbox Official Twitter Asks Xbox Support for Help on Known Kinect Bug

4.5
One of the Xbox One bugs surfaced at launch is Kinect being displayed as not connected even if it’s plugged in, and in a rather hilarious turn of events many just saw the official Xbox Twitter account ask the Xbox Support account for help exactly about that glitch.
The tweet has since been deleted, but not before some hawk-eyed users on NeoGAF caught it on “film,” causing quite quite a bit of hilarity. At the moment we don’t know if the tweet was just a joke, a prank by an employee or the result of some relatively harmless hacking of the official Xbox One account, but it was definitely good for a laugh.
You can see the tweet and a few user responses below, for the posterity.

Update: apparently the tweet was a mistake by Microsoft’s Social Media Manager, that forgot to log out from the official account and into her personal one before tweeting (as found out by Twitter user Jacqui Frost). Oops…

This is too funny. I can't believe the Social Media Manager of all people didn't know which account they were signed into!

RIAA XboxSupport will have the answer? Not necessary so on every occasion. They seem to enjoy giving scripted responses like turn it off and back on again.


The playstation tweet mess-up receives barely any negative criticism and yet the xbox tweet mess-up receives almost universal negative criticism and harsh statements

Some community manager forgot to click "Tweet from X account" instead of tweeting from Xbox's, hah.
