Microsoft recently rolled out a new website where you can head over to and request or vote for a feature for Microsoft to roll out.
The site is broken up into 11 categories so there is no logical way to find the top 20 features. Unless you open each one and select the top 20, then combine them all and sort.
But thankfully someone over at Neogaf did actually have time for that and has very kindly posted up the current top 20 requests.
1. Pre-order/Pre-load digitally – 5,164 Votes
2. Backwards Compatibility with Xbox 360 – 4,479 Votes
3. Lower price of Digital Copies of Xbox One Titles – 3,304 Votes
4. “Low Battery” Notification for controllers. – 3,224 Votes
5. Xbox Music in Background – 2,395 Votes
6. Pre order bonuses for digital games – 2,344 Votes
7. Discount On Digital Games – 2,287 Votes
8. Background image on the dashboard – 2,005 Votes
9. Personalize Home Screen Background – 1,994 Votes
10. Cortana on xbox – 1,963 Votes
11. Reboot Banjo-Kazooie, Conker and Viva Pinata – 1,898 Votes
12. More Benefits purchasing DIGITAL over Retail Copy – 1,864
13. Free Movies With Gold – 1,828 Votes
14. Add an Upcomming Game Calendar App – 1,735 Votes
15. Better UI customization for users. – 1,729 Votes
16. Better integrated DLNA Support – 1,625 Votes
17. Mass delete recorded clips – 1,532 Votes
18. Description of Updates – 1,488 Votes
19. Bring back 1 vs. 100! – 1,487 Votes
20. Access to FULL XBOX STORE from smartglass – 1,460 Votes
I‘m absolutely behind the number one request, preloading games would be incredible and I see no reason why it doesn’t exist.
I just don’t see backwards compatibility happening, and the archaic lack of a low battery level indicator has already been patched in.
I’m also all for number 11, I need more Viva Pinata in my life.
So what do you think of the list? Anything that strikes you as odd to request or even more importantly are they missing something very important?

Quite frankly I am shocked that the community is not demanding more games with kinect. After all ‘it’s better, with Kinect’. Nice that they are listening to the community. Perhaps they should have done this way back…

Sure it’s better, but it’s R1.7k cheaper without. That’s what, one game excl DLC?

I think 12 could pretty much include 3 and 7 (i.e. the need to incentivise digital).
Also, I really hope that ‘Upcomming’ was not included in the official list.

it not that, i got a pc as well as the games cheaper, even if though building a pc expensive, it more worthwhile, but have the consoles aswell, but it just the way i read Sith comment that made me laugh, a average gaming pc not cheap

That explains why there were so few votes.
The majority of the Xbone owners were in denial.

The real reason there so little votes is cuz the Kinect Kept turning the Xbone off when they logged on..

oVgeeeeee Comet Drop
June 12, 2014 at 16:01
I read that it still time stamps your trophies and updates when you go back online. But not being able to see the games list of trophies that have not been achieved yet is silly.
CAE9872
June 12, 2014 at 16:05
It ain’t silly – its F**KING STUPID!!! And cannot be that hard to correct.
I can confirm it date stamps the trophies date though – I know given I belong to a few trophy data collecting sites (sad I know) i.e. when won offline it will show up…somewhere else!

Yes because the games work out of the box unlike the Bone.

I suppose they disabled the Blu-Ray drive because they dont want to pay Royalties for every console made, only when the user registers.

Agree – you should get more for buying retail.
Sith JJ
June 12, 2014 at 15:44
I just think that they’re seriously overpricing their games online if you can get it for the same price (which includes taxes, duties, transport, printing and markups) in a retail store.
Though that physical copy of Skyrim that I have is such a prized possession of mine.

Number 1 feature for Microsoft should be, to have the Xbox One console work without internet out of the box.
If Microsoft is to focus on that list where number 1 is about digital pre-orders, they are going to alienate more than half of their Xbox 360 user base.
That list to me means that Microsoft has only been focused on a niche market of users with internet.
If the people without internet can not make their voices heard on the internet, I guess they don’t exist.
After 2 price cuts, you really going to see how well the PS4 is going to sell, once they hit that sweet price spot.
I wonder how many Xbox 360 users will be getting the PS4
Don’t support DRM.
