Here Are 10 Ways to Fix Xbox One Before Launch

When Sony SNE unveiled the fourth-generation PlayStation, some consumers complained because there weren't any images of the actual hardware. Some consumers also complained about the lack non-gaming entertainment services (which will be present in PlayStation 4 but were not shown during the event). Last week consumers learned why Sony chose to ignore those trivial matters and focus entirely on new games. During Microsoft's MSFT long-awaited event for Xbox One, the company spent the first 30 minutes talking about the many ways in which the console will take over a user's television. Very little time was spent on actual video games, which angered consumers from all over the world. Bloggers and game reporters were particularly upset. IGN's reporters were a bit dumbfounded after the event concluded on Tuesday. Kotaku followed the conference with an article entitled, "That Xbox One Reveal Sure Was a Disaster, Huh?" Gamasutra's editor-at-large, Leigh Alexander, was arguably the most angered gamer of all. Her views can be summed up by the title of her article: "Xbox One is a desperate prayer to stop time." With so much disappointment, Microsoft is going to have to make some changes to Xbox One before it is released later this year.
