**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

Wow potentially an October launch for either console? Interesting. I'll be gutted if the PS4 comes out significantly before the X1 because my nerd needs will kick in and I'll have to get one!

I think we'll have a release date for both consoles on Tuesday, and about time too!

You have no idea how happy knowing the release dates will make me! :p

In regards to the comments made by CBOAT, he has consistently given correct predictions around 85% of the time for more than 5 years, so I put a little bit more faith in them then most.

But I do agree with Davey until any of the information comes back from official sources this is all rumour and hearsay. Although I doubt that we will ever get confirmation from MS that they have had production issues on with the XBONE.

this, these days not just in regards to consoles, theres more truth in rumours from credible ppl than the official news,

Yup, unfortunately this is often the case. Not just with MS though, every business does the same thing. I'd rather they were just honest with us, I'd have more respect for them then.

I think the fact they've reduced launch regions is confirmation enough. Saying it's down to translations issues or whatever is a cop-out. How can a massive corporation like MS not have the resources to be able to translate into a few more languages? :rolleyes:

Oh completely BS response from MS tbh, but they are obviously panicking a little bit about how they don't have enough atm. But if by cutting down on the regions it means I get my hands on one earlier I'm all up for it! :p
 
Personally, I don't think this person works at Microsoft based on things he has said so far, I feel like most of the time he is over-simplifying things. I'm going to give my take on what he's "revealed" this time.
1) This entire point is vague. Not sure what he is referring to when he says our architecture isn't ready. If he is saying our architectural design isn't finalized, that is completely wrong. I'm going to assume he means certain features aren't fully ready to be shown, which is true. That being said, I don't see how this has anything to do with Microsoft not streaming Gamescom. Perhaps he meant because some of our features are not yet ready, the overall experience will be so terrible, streaming the conference would show how badly our console runs. Well, we will have 100+ playable consoles at Gamescom. Clearly not the case. The official word has always been Xbox One will launch in November.
To say that our latest July/August DurangoXDK (I assume this is what he meant by SDK) dropped performance by 15-20% across the board, this would mean I as well as a lot of people seriously screwed up somewhere, and I should be freaking out right now. Last time I checked the perf tests, they are on an upwards trend.
2) There are no yield issues I have heard of from my leads, their leads, or our executives. What was told company wide is we will sell 100% of our production inventory on launch based on pre-order numbers. Every console we make until launch will need to go out the door. There is the possibility of our executives simply not revealing the yield issues to us because they don't want to hurt morale. I doubt this is the case.
Points 3, 4, and 5 I have no idea.
6) This isn't news. Marc Whitten has publicly said that the every console will be a dev kit functionality will not be ready at launch and added at a later date. More info will be shown at Gamescom.
7) Not news again, the same day Marc Whitten revealed the Kinect does not have to be plugged in, we confirmed there will not be a Kinect-less Xbox One at launch.
On the possibility of this happening March/April 2014, I have no idea. But to say the Xbox One's launch numbers will be a fallout is unfounded.

So a confirmed XB1 dev (according to Reddit) has shot down a lot of what Cboat has to say? Interesting. Either the XB1 dev is lying, or Cboat has just guessed wrong (or has wrong information given to him).

The thing is, some of what Cboat says is so obvious I really don't see how he can try to pass it off as "Truthfacts". The idea of a Kinect-less SKU has been mentioned for months, even before MS confirmed that the Kinect didn't need to be plugged in. I mentioned it months ago. Also, the rumour that the PS4 may make an October release was also mentioned a month or two ago.

CBOAT was also confirmed to be in a position to have insider info by admins/mods on neogaf. We'll see what was right soon enough! :)
