It’s Time for Microsoft to Turn the Xbox into a PC
The XBox One is like a multifunction printer: It&#x27;s trying to be too many things for too many people and in the end sucking at all of them. (FD: I own two of them.)<p>The wife and I are hopelessly addicted to the Halo series so we tolerate them, but overall it&#x27;s one of my least enjoyed electronics to use. The interface is slow, it&#x27;s prone to frequent networking issues which due to it&#x27;s need for constant contact with Live cripples it regularly, the need for open NAT required me to open ports to one on a static IP and DMZ the other, I can go on and on. There is so much potential in this platform (as seen on the 360, which is fantastic) and it&#x27;s wasted with pretty good hardware and absolute garbage software.<p>Whoever was in charge of the original release of the XBox One&#x27;s OS should be outright fired, what a disaster that was, and frankly the current one is better but far from what I&#x27;d call good.<p>&#x2F;rant
