Pre-orders are sold out. They want consoles available at walk ins to encourage impulse buys. I believe Sony is doing something similar.They sold out??? Phil Spencer was saying you'll find consoles readily available on launch day in stores without preorders.

MS biggest advantage, is they were not stubborn enough to release the console in said state. GAF might not forget, but I think the mainstream will once people actually get their hands on the thing.
I pretty much try to avoid threads like this, console warz is pretty much why I stopped posting on the gaming side as much.
Oh I agree, the fact that they changed those negative features will ultimately salvage the Xbox One and prevent it from being an outright failure. I do think however that thanks to this rocky start and the price, that the system will easily fail to do the numbers 360 did by the end of the gen (or rather in a comparable timeframe of five years)
Thank you!
Hyperbole much? Sold out pre-orders in almost every major chain flies in the face of what you wrote. Ever think they are doing an apology tour simply because they want to change the opinions some people have.

The thread whining and persecution complex is just as bad. All the people complaining about some GAF-hivemind shitting on Xbone must have not remembered what happened when PS3 first came out.
I'm sorry how silly of me.
Touring the country "to address all the concerns" with their new product should be an indicator of how well things are doing.
I'm such a retard!
Nah this thread in particular is not the issue and majority of the Xbox bashing comments are appropriate. It's threads about games which have little if anything to incite console warz that some people (and it's usually the same ones) try to insert it into the topic and the thread gets derailed.The thread whining and persecution complex is just as bad.

I disagree. Unlike the Playstation 3, the Xbox One doesn't have to go up against two well selling consoles.

It doesn't take long for people to forget the terrible restrictions MS were ready to force on us only 3 months ago, does it.ok ms one more pack in game and we are good
Call yourself whatever you want, I said nothing of the sort. My point still stands MS can have a product that is doing exceedingly well with preorders and sales and still want to win over gamers they lost by doing these tours. It won't happen overnight, obviously.I'm sorry how silly of me.

I for one am glad they fixed a lot of their problems, and now try to get the word across. No idea what's so bad about it.

Serious thread whining right here.A Xbox thread thread title fitting for Neogaf. Fanboyism is fucking this forum up for those that wish to read about the Xbox.
Everytime I pop in a disc I am going to get mad angry and shake my fist, screaming towards the heaven "Oh Microsoft, your evil, terrible plans from 9 months ago, I will never forget those!"
And start playing videogames.
That they had the problems in the first place maybe?
every time I have to pop in a disc, I'm going to scream goddamn it microsoft.
It is an odd turn of events. As someone who went into the start of last generation excited for the PS3 let me say...you get used to it. Sony was arrogant and the price was too damn high. Made for checking forums and reading news on most sites being frustrating as all hell.
"Look, at Xbox, we really care about the community," Hryb replied when asked point-blank how Microsoft would win back consumers. "We're very focused on what is right for gamers. Everybody at Xbox is a gamer. It's not like we just show up, do our work and go home. We want to make this the best game system that you are going to own for the next 10 years."
Pssst, if pre-orders were poor MS wouldn't tell us. I know they've got this new found honesty thing going on, but that, nah, they wouldn't tell us that.
There's been lots of polls on the net, I have seen nothing to suggest that this will be MS's biggest launch ever.
Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.
They shouldn't be sorry.
The so called "fans" should be sorry for acting like immature kids.
Microsoft should demand an apology.

I don't want to hear about how much they care about the community when they tried to pull the biggest screw job in the industry's history. Not to mention they damn near completely abandoned gamers on 360 years ago.

Good thing I buy my consoles based on games and not drama/politics. Xbox One day one for me.
Truth.
They can fuck off.
