The Xbox One launched today, and many reports are already surfacing on issues that range from the “green screen of death” to the fact that the console “eats disks”.
Of course many are taking the reports as the evidence that the Xbox One has some nasty and widespread hardware issue, exactly like they did with the PS4, only to discover afterwards that the problems affected less than 1% of the consoles Sony sold, which is well within industry standards for electronics.
The only thing demonstrated by the issues on the Xbox camp, is that hardware issues don't pick sides, and neither should you.
Today’s 1.46 update includes ŠKODA Vision Gran Turismo, two other cars, new Café Menu, and World Circuit Events.
Gori: Cuddly Carnage is out this summer, an adult-themed action platformer featuring a hero cat with a hoverboard that fights against mutated toys who destroyed the world.
If you want to try your hand at some of the new bending abilities in Fortnite, be sure to head to one of the elemental shrines for a scroll.

*Applauds* Well said Abriael. I said a week back that people shouldn't be so hasty to bash the PS4's failure reports, and that they shouldn't think the X1 will be immune to hardware failures. But did they listen? Nope. I hope the failure rates continue to be as low for each console, broken consoles suck.
Though i must say (and i can only go off what i have seen myself) that i think PS gamers have been much more mature about the X1 issues then the MS gamers were about the PS4's issues last week. I haven't seen any nick names mocking the X1, no bitter troll comments, no poking fun, no false "widespread" accusations. Make of that what you will.
@Abriael
Im sure there has, i just haven't noticed it anywhere near as much as last week, im only talking about N4G though.
Those that have been around a few launches in our day already knew issues would happen. Only on the Internet world everything is blown way out of proportion. Not many take into account the millions of products being manufactured and shipped around the world. They just see this one guy over here. A person over there. Sure people are going to have issues. But again, 376 people vs a 1,000,000+ sold in 24 hours is not even a problem at all. Seems like people want to start more drama then just enjoying that we have two new consoles on the market. Which doesn't happened often at all.
While I'm not happy that some ppl are facing these issues on x1 im definitely happy that x1 fanboys that ridiculed the PS4 are dealing with issues as well.
Yeah its funny how quiet it got after problems started showing up with the X1.
its the launch of new consoles this sort of stuff happens :(
anyone can link to support forums to make problems look worse than they are but at the end of the day this stuff happens on any side of a console launch :(
but the good thing is greatness awaits us all when its really comes to it :D
