It's pretty believable if you ask me, given their track record this year and negative rumors coming out weeks before any of their announcements (which proved said rumors).
The hits keep coming...
Current Xbox One issues:
-$100 dollars more
-Unable to purchase Kinect-less Xbox One
-Significantly weaker gpu
-Slower DDR3 ram
-Limited to only 32mb of high bandwidth esram
-NuAds implications
-Xbox One T.V implementation limited to only U.S
-Delayed release to 8 countries possibly related to the...
-Possibility of yield issues
-10% of gpu is walled off due to kinect.
-Xbox Live connection issues (RUMOR)
-inferior resolutions
-Installed games (no caching)
-SDK issues
-API issues
-Mandatory day one patch (15-20mins)
-Headphone adapter delayed
-Indie games delayed
-Delayed support of external hard drives
-Paywall for substantial amount of features
-No editing of captured videos
-Recorded video is limited to five minutes
-Youtube and Facebook implementation delayed
-Current Xbox 360 Driving wheels are incompatible
-Smartglass feature is wonky (RUMOR)
-Delayed use of real names.
-Embargoes
-Snap feature breaks games (rumor)
Good:
-Faster CPU
-Better Sound chip
-HDMI passthrough
-Game suspension in sleep state (PS4 to patch at later date)
-Superior performance to PS4 in, “using procedural generation or raytracing via parametric surfaces – that is, using a lot of memory writes and not much texturing or ALU”
Subjective:
-Launch/First Party games
-Controller
-Power Brick
-Working Features
Let me know if I missed anything or if something is wrong so I can edit.

Looks like both consoles are going to the shitter.
Can't wait for the launch-day drama.
Also RIP thread.

Am I the only who keeps seeing "rectum" in the OP's name?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
If it was from somebody other than thuway/famousmortimer/other confirmed quality source, I wouldn't believe it.
But, it is.
The 3rd one "does the talking"between the other 2 operating systems.
It means they can switch out either hardware or UI with something else and the other part continues to function.
So yes, They are both working at the same time anyway , all the time.
The scaler is really the only bit doing the work when you you snap something, although they have encouraged developers to drop the game's screen resolution or change the screen ratio and FOV to allow for a consistent, unfortunately many of the games hadn't been liking this.

I haven't jumped into the hate storm yet and probably won't, but man... after what happened with all my and everyone else's 360s, I wouldn't feel sorry for them in the slightest if they blow it again.
Edit: I'll add that how they chose to handle the RRoD was the right thing to do, but even so I don't think it's OK if they try to pull the same stunt again.
For compensation ESRAM might feature ONE shout only that basically does what 32 different would do at ONE time.
yes, I tried hard 
It's too big to fail. Microsoft will throw resources at the problem until everything runs. Apart from that, as long as it can play games, people will buy it. It's not like it won't have any games because of being ridiculously incapable like the Wii U.

Seriously. Most don't even pretend to be concerned any more...
On GAF alone we have famousmortimer, thuway, Proelite and heavy hints from CBOAT verified by the bish. Then there's Robert Florence and other people posting on twitter...
We can hope they get things much improved with the day 1 patch, but pretending this is all lies is beyond silly at this point.
What if all the OS news pertains to the demo units for both consoles?
As far as I know, neither is running the proper full OS, and both have had issues with freezing and crashing no? The sources could very well have been referring to these.

Here's a handy visual summary of the Xbox announcements, rumblings and rumor mill over the past six months:

This is why you don't blow your wad with all of your features and all of your games at once.
May look good during the reveal and may give the impression you're ahead of the competition but look where it can leave you if you fall behind.
I find the PSN/XBL race puzzling - can they really be that different to the currently active systems?
I'd have thought they'd just build upon their existing infrastructure rather than make new stuff?

This is outside my tech comfort zone but Shin'en stated that deferred rendering is not an issue on Wii U, wich they initially thought.
Wii U has 32mb of edram.
So why is it a bottleneck on Xbox One if it isn't for Wii U?

EDIT: Just asking out of curiosity

Why are members posting other members tweets?
The "good" should say faster CPU, not GPU, and it was an uptick in clock speed on the CPU for XBO when before I'm pretty sure both were even CPU-wise.
Marginally faster CPU, not GPU.
Though that's not confirmed since Sony never revealed the clock speed of the PS4 CPU.

Gpu improved ? Link ?
Any proof of better sound chip ?
Any proof or link to better raytracing performance ?
Xbone has the better GPU now?

We gamers demand you release realtime footage so We can then claim it's a fake

Not crazy.
ya i think it's something bigger that cannot be fixed, and still no official word from MS.

It is.
There's a reason bish is in the shelter... this is clearly going to get a lot worse...
We misread the Mayan Calender, it wasn't 2012 they spoke of it was 11/22.
