Yep, identical. The devkits don't even have any more RAM than retail consoles, most unusual.

Xbox One practically unusable without day one update

Sorry, but not all phones need to establish a internet connection (through wifi or 3G/4G connections) to do the initial setup. Some don't even need a SIM card to boot to setup and use it as a device to store whatever you want and use apps.

They should really release the update on disc alongside their launch games. Even PS4
Yup $39.99 to get your Xbox One optimized for Day 1 use
Sony said you can request a disc with the update on it.
Yes! That would be great! But they already went gold with most games didn't they? :/

The head of the nail has been hit.
Logistically extremely hard & very costly.
It also means that when the disc update is done they can't do any more work on the FW update on the disc. By keeping it as a download they can keep on working on updates until the testing deadline (which presumably would be maybe 5 days prior to launch - feel free to correct me on this anyone).
I take it you didn't buy a Wii U at launch.
Just not watch bluray/dvd movies.

Wouldn't it be funny if your ISP was doing maintenance on the 22nd?
you know we are in 2013 (more 2014)...
if you havent a connection i suggest you to give up on gaming expecially on ps4 and xb1
Oh the humanity! You can play a game while it downloads but not watch season 3 of Saved by the Bell? Fuck that.
This shit should really stop.

I don't even understand how it's hard to push content out to millions of users.
Just use Bittorrent. Make the users store a permanent copy of the latest patch for 72 hours so they can help distribute it. You only need a handful of servers hosting the shit permanently. Blizzard does it for WoW updates.

Hopefully everyone doesn't try download the update at the same time, because that would be a disaster.

You know Time Zones are a thing right? Download will probably take 20 minutes at most. Everyone hour will consist of a different Time Zone downloading, and not even everybody, just Mid Night launch goers.
Then everyone else will have a go at the download during the day. Should be fine.

Fully expected but disappointing
Rather disappointed in the PS4's out of box feature set but at least I can play games on it

I played Diablo 3 at launch; time zones didn't matter, I couldn't even get logged in.
Problems are always going to happen when you have millions of people trying to connect at once. I imagine the problems will be amplified as they're all trying to download a mandatory update.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I didn't have internet when I bought a 360 on launch day. But this a total nonissue, amirite?
Oh, and I have a cousin who went Xbox only the last two gens with neither console connected.

Good thing everyone in the world is downloading on a set schedule.
Come on man.

Fortunately for everybody, there are consoles that can play games without an internet connection: the 360, the PS3, the Wii, the Wii U and... the PS4!

I don't see how this is a problem. Unless the patch isn't being released day one, but supposedly it is, so again I don't see the issue.

You want them to open the boxes and put a recent patch disc in it?
who said you need to open the box? just ship a bunch of discs in cheap sleeves and hand them out if people require them.

people can play XBONE without internet as well. They just need to wait for the next batch that will include the patch onboard.

I lll bet you quite a few 56k users from rural areas will return theirs not knowing this vital information. I've met people already who didn't know and can't get Internet where they live in West Virginia.

So they are selling a console that doesn't even work without internet? I hope they are putting some sort of a big disclaimer on the box saying this thing wont work without a patch. Else I see a strong case for lawsuit.
