Xbox One turns 10<\/strong>. Launched on November 22, 2013<\/strong>, in nearly every corner of the globe, Microsoft’s hardware<\/strong> has brought joy to millions of people worldwide over this past decade, and one could even argue that it’s still doing so, as the console continues to receive a vast array of current games (similar to what’s happening with PlayStation 4). But how was the Xbox One’s initial launch?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

The initial steps of Microsoft’s console were quite tumultuous. Announced on May 21, 2013<\/strong>, in an incredible show, anyone who experienced that moment will remember it for one aspect: “TV<\/strong>.” The word “TV” was mentioned countless times during its presentation, to the extent that it became the central focus above the actual video games. The presentation was so disastrous that just two weeks later, during the E3 2013 conference, Microsoft completely changed its script to talk about video games instead of television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for gamers, the hardware’s advantages<\/strong> weren’t truly emphasized. For example, the fact that the Xbox 360’s DVD bid farewell to make way for the well-known BluRay, as well as its GPU up to 10 times more powerful than the Xbox 360<\/strong> thanks to AMD technology and its 1.23 TFLOPS\/s of power, its 8-core AMD processor, 500 GB hard drive, or the 8 GB of DDR3 RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This television-focused approach in its first show caused a lot of uproar. Phil Spencer, the current head of the Xbox division, confirmed that they failed in how they marketed the Xbox On<\/strong>e. Even the console’s own employees couldn’t understand why everything revolved around television despite how well the console itself and its initial games had been developed. To make matters worse, there were very controversial measures, such as including Kinect as a mandatory part<\/strong> of every console or the most controversial of all, the one that limited access to games borrowed from friends or family<\/strong>. The mockery was such that even Sony dedicated a parody video that has become part of gaming history with over 20 million views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
