Xbox One What should MSFT do to make this "all-in-one" successful?

[diamondback8]

No matter what we will all say, MSFT isn't going to backdown from achieving this "all-in-one" aspect of the new console. So in that sense, what should MSFT do to make it successful? What should they do to convince you that it's the console to go to, whether it's gaming or entertainment? (Or as some will say, for coffee, tea or pizza? XD haha)

They are focusing on the concept of getting an all in one version for Xbox One. That's why they haven't said anything about gaming for a while.

From what I read online they did say something about having a separate team that will work on gaming and the rest are focused more on entertainment.

Yes, they do have a separate team working on gaming but the team is a bit smaller just like what they said.

I know right. They've been so into the concept that they have not fixed some issue on their patches.

Not really sure. As Anomaly0302 pointed out. MSFT has been way too focused on trying to build the all-in-one that they've not been fixing some of the issues. Many want gaming, many want the entertainment, many like the balance, etc... but there's still issues to be had. So they got to at least focus on fixing the issues before they go forth with trying to be the "all-in-one".

I agree, they have to settle and fix every issue first before they start working on the project.

They better or else, they'll end up being like Arkham Origins developers. Why? The developers revealed that they're focused MORE on completing the DLCs RATHER than fixing the bugs and glitches the game has accumulated. Would you believe that? I hope MSFT doesn't end up being like that: putting out what they feel is best for the consumer instead of fixing the problems consumers are having now.

It all depends on how they can make this thing happen.

That's true. It all depends on how they can make this thing happen. Still too early to tell but if they do end up doing what the Origins developers are doing, it might spell disaster. But still too early to tell. We'll have to wait and see.

 

[Jedioutcast]

They should really concentrate on Kinect since they are attempting to hard sell this technology. It is great, when it works. But, if you are trying to justify the extra 100.00 dollars for pack in technology that works only if you're in an optimal low noise surrounding, then you need to perfect it... Or at least make it close to being flawless.

when i look at the all in one and what i tend to expect over time is tv app similar to time warner cable app but integrated in with the tv tuner..

for entertanment purposes they need to start looking at ways of getting ppv events and such streamed directly to the xb1.. i use to get on the ufc app monthly to catch up on the free fights,interviews,the upcoming card.. they could do something similar to nfc app with the ufc app have polls per event and acheivments based on your predictions. it is one app i miss a good bit..

they already have a movie buy/rent option but i dontthink they have figured out how to sell it to the market thru xbl... if it was done like kiosk/redbox where you rented it but had 24 hr's of streamability at 1.20-1.99 a movie on new releases it would or could push purchases... but they would have to have the new releases.. ill even go as far as having friday night movie specials for .99 cents...

as for music a pandora app would be nice.. unfortunatly without paying for it you are stuck with commercials which would be a pain on console. i will admit i miss games where you could use music on the system for sound tracks. this is especially tru with games like forza5.. is always fun to jam out while driving.. this would also be killer when they release the 3rd party external hd where people will have 1-3tb hd's i just hope it stays stable when playing games and info is transfering thru 2/3 devices.

the biggest hurdle with going above and beyond what is already in place in the market with entertainment is licensing.. most companies want money to have a corperation get heavily invested in their business.. the nfl app on xb1 is a good app.. but to get that in ufc/hocky,boxing ect ect microsoft is going to have to shell out big money with little to no return.

This. The sc_shark makes some very good points here. MSFT, if you're reading this, take some good looks at what this man is saying here. His points might just get you closer to what you're trying to achieve with the "all-in-one"

They should really read this. That's a lot of things that they can take in.
