The Xbox One is going to get better

She turned me in to a newt!

Right now, the Xbox One’s system software isn’t quite as fluid and functional as it should be. Its friends, party and chat system is effectively broken, and the standalone apps that replace basic, intrinsic functionality that users were accustomed to on the Xbox 360 make things slower and more cumbersome than they should rightly be. It’s going to get better.

Responding to a number of suggestions on Reddit on how to improve the Xbox One, Xbox Live’s director of programming Major Nelson (Larry Hyrb to his mum) assured Xbox One owners that things are going to improve.

"I had a meeting today about much of this and I can say that things will get better. I can’t offer a timeline of a list of what till be addressed first, but we are aware of the issue and things will get better."

In addition to that an exhaustive, community led feedback site detailing just about everything that’s wrong with the Xbox One right now has been shared with the right people, says the Major.

If you can remember all the way back to 2005, the Xbox 360 was a very different thing to the fully featured (though noticeably slower) console we have today.

    It will only get better for real gamers if the casual brat generation stop getting their mothers to pay for all that crap FEE TO PAY bullshit.
    FORZA 4 still kicks FORZA 5’s ass on content, or are the other 2 thirds of FORZA 5 still waiting for the results of Microsoft DATA farming so they can change their work models on the fly and do another 180 right under your next gen SERVICE PLAN.

          King Arthur:
          I am your king.

          Woman:
          Well I didn’t vote for you.

          King Arthur:
          You don’t vote for kings.

          Woman:
          Well how’d you become king then?

          [Angelic music plays… ]

          King Arthur:
          The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held
          aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine
          providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your
          king.

          Dennis:
          [interrupting]
          Listen, strange women lyin’ in ponds distributin’ swords is no basis for
          a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate
          from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

    The average weight of a European swallow is 20 grams. Which means each swallow could carry 2 grams. Given that the average coconut weighs about 600 grams it would take at least 300 swallows to carry a coconut.

    Now you see the problem is when he says “I just had a meeting”…there goes any pretext for getting anything DONE!!!

    I use to sit in meetings…until I told my partners no more! We don’t do anything but go round and round in circles…and round…and round.

    You get the point!
