Penello "really, really sorry" that the Xbox One UI hasn't been publicly shown

Examiner: "We're only two months away from the launch of the Xbox One and Microsoft is still yet to show the user interface in a public manner."

[Regis]

Well he should show a video to rectify this

[TomShoe]

"We're sorry"

How many times have I heard this before?

[elhebbo16]

reminds me of that south park episode with the BP oil spill.

edit: seems foxtrot already said it.

[Magicite]

That Penello is a joke really, where did Mattrick got all these people?

[wishingW3L]

"we are sorry" is becoming synonymous with MS. XD

[JokesOnYou]

Why apologize show things when they're ready, again whenever hes tries to be sincere folks only sling more mud, when a sony exec says we're sorry or something genuine like Yoshida for example about ps4 reveal no console, No Last Guardian or the terrible Gamescom streaming footage or when Cerny admits Knack is a "secondary purchase", its all good because see thats just sony being honest with their fans. lol, so many hypocrites.

Heres a fair assessment of the latest UI demo:
http://arstechnica.com/gami...

-For the most part it sounds as if so far the UI is working properly with still some minor bugs to workout, I imagine their priority is to get everything running as smooth as possible before launch. Secondary is showing close to finished UI functionality, I dont recall any hands on public demos by the competition either but maybe I missed it.

[xHeavYx]

It's probably taking a long time because Penello is working on his fact sheet

[DigitalRaptor]

@ Jokes

All I can really respond to that is, the UI is basically Microsoft's whole sell with the XB1. Before they showed games, it was all you guys were talking about, and they haven't shown it yet, along with all those supposedly integral features that aren't there at launch.

That is not comparable to them not showing us a console that we know will be console-shaped, or a couple of games, or a live streaming issue.

[wishingW3L]

oh Jokes you're always a joke. How many times MS has said that they are sorry in the past couple of months compared to any other company, ever? Maybe you have short memory spam but it has been a ton of times due to the multiple 180's. 0_O

http://cdn2.dualshockers.co...

Sorry!

[FragMnTagM]

When did Microsoft go Canadian?

I kid I kid.

[Army_of_Darkness]

@frag.. shut you're face eh!

[dmeador]

@Wishing3WL

I cant remember them saying they are sorry, just changing things bc the public outcry was much more than anticipated . And the "flip the switch" statement is a ridiculous point jumped on by PS fanboys. Its stupid how political the console wars are getting. He made a generalization that accurately reflected that it wasn't a 2 second process. If you have ever worked in tech, you know that even if something is achieved through a seemingly minor code change, there are many, many ripple effects. People worked a lot of hours to put changed into place quickly

[Eonjay]

There is no need to be sorry... just show it. Problem solved :) The system launches in 60 days and I'm sure they want to give it a public showing before hand.

[Eonjay]

"We've booked to do it a couple times, and my schedule hasn't allowed it. I wanted to get this demo out publicly sooner."

- Okay this isn't a valid response. Why do we have to wait for his schedule? Just take it over to IGN, Cnet, or Gamespot and do a sitdown. Anyone can do it, it doesn't have to be Penello, and it doesn't have to be a 20/20 special report with Barbra Walters.

[UltimateMaster]

Of all the things Microsoft did and should be sorry for. This is not one of them.

[UltimateMaster]

Start by being sorry about the DRM ordeal first.
"Which they were not, btw. The only thing they're sorry for is that it blew up in their faces."

[UltimateMaster]

*Sigh*
Get a Life, JokesOnYou.

[4Sh0w]

UltimateMaster why because he speaks the truth?

Sorry for what? The guy is just being nice there isnt anything to even be sorry for and as usual you haters cant resist attacking him. We've seen more about every aspect of the X1 than ps4. Sony did one little walkthrough on stage with I believe it was Yoshida, nobody has had hands on with ps4s UI functionality running realtime showing us with independent people using it but once again all the n4g sony fan kids pretending like micro is the one hiding something. I can see there being more issues for ps4 when it launches like the touchpad not working during the live on air demo at TGS because nobody asks sony anything or they simply say hey just wait everythings coming in the future and its fine. The positive scrutiny from real gamers has been good for X1 though, so the console has improved, Ryse & DR3 are better off from the bad press and constructive criticism from true fans, so its all good but the level of hate on this site is ridiculous some of you need to focus on what sony isnt saying because karma has a way of biting haters in the butt.

[Gekko36]

@All Since when is a VP required to pull out a trampoline everytime a news reporter says jump?

Answer: Never.

That reporter is a right cheeky twat!

[NoLongerHereCBA]

Atleast he isn't afraid to say "I'm sorry". Glad they are able to say that some things didn't go the way they should. People complain about everything. Then they should apologise because of their mistakes. And when they do it's also not ok? Tjeez.

[NukaCola]

Well sorry is better than the typical MS arrogance that we have to deal with alo the time. They should do a video to showcase the UI. Even if it features stuff that is unusable at launch, we can at least have a better idea of what we're getting.

More importantly, who is supporting Jokesonyou's biased trolling PR bullcrap? 8 bubz now? Why would N4G let a troll make it to a mod level?

[mewhy32]

"We're sorry" is becoming the repeating theme from micro$oft.

[Sarick]

@joke When you take into account the most recent history of failed promises blotched accoutrements and overall anti-consumer nature of Microsoft's PR department you can't just condemn everyone who shows mistrust or disdain.

You also fail to take into account the retroactive opinion of the community. It should be very clear that when a company gets a large following of people hating them. There is a very good reason for that. Likewise, if a company gets a good reputation in the eyes of public its because they're doing something RIGHT or the competition is doing something horribly wrong.

There is no mind control going on here. Everyone isn't being paid for their subjective views. They aren't all hypocrites like your personal attack comment states.

I believe all people have the infallible rights to generate their own opinions based on personal insight. Not because they have shallow views or loyalties but because they've been given the free will to express themselves without ridicule.

Flat out calling people hypocrites to insult them is by no means constructive or privy to any professionalism.

On any level the comment posted by TomShoe is based on reality. Sure he's implying that the representative may be lying. Lying is sometimes the nature of being a corporate representative. His comment is simply taking into account that such matters are ALWAYS apologetic.

Nothing more nothing less.

Please don't insult the community. I've tried my best to be fair and humbled to others. I've never received a well said for being straight up that I'm aware of. I try my best to represent the best understanding of all views before passing judgment on others. I don't have friends bubbling up from popularity pyramids or alternate accounts. I would hope you would choose the same path.

Lastly: You have so many disagrees yet the comment gets "well said" +bubbles despite the obvious trolling and insulting nature of your post. This defies all reasonable logic. No offense to your fans but who's supporting these disruptive comments. IMHO, the anti-social nature of your comment should count for -bubbles not well said even if there are partial truths. So please, try and keep it classy. By doing so you my gain more sincere respect in the community.

[JamieL]

@ Sarick
Wow man, on this site you call out Jokes for this? Are you new here? After all the "MS sucks" and "PS4 fo life", comments on here that get a "well said" and 100 to 1 agree to disagree ratio, and you call out Jokes for this? You may not agree with him, but his comments are at least rational. If that bothered you then this is NOT the site for you, that comment is tame and professional for this site.

[andibandit]

@sarick

you must be stoned off your ass if you think n4g represents the general opinion

[Sarick]

@JamieL & andibandit

Did I say anything or do anything immature by appealing to the community. I'm saying if we don't like how the community is organized or run we don't have to support it by promoting destructive comments.

I looked at his comment. I didn't deny there is some truth in it. I can't speak for others but as a being of free thought and moral understanding I'm capable of modest restraint.

I don't see any reason why someone would become so upset over "How many times have I heard this before?" The comment jokes made is relevant to a point of his own inception. I haven't seen much from both Sony or Microsoft's UI. Such comment applies to either company and its representative not just Penello.

As I've already said. I haven't seen much from Sony or Microsoft's UIs. I wouldn't go so far to be insulting about the ignorance of others for one generalized comment that applies to everyone.

In that respect I'm simply appealing to the intelligence of others to support a firm moral stance. That stance is to just hit agree or disagree without supporting derogative comments that promote disruptive attacks.

For the record I'm not new. I just feel I have a higher understanding behind the psychology of most N4G members. I'm willing to dismiss most reactions but to what end if others don't follow by example.

[madpuppy]

You should be amazed, Microsoft has never apologized for anything they have done before this.

[JokesOnYou]

Sarick for the record while I do appreciate what is obviously mostly other members who support the xbox brand supporting me I have never asked for bubbles or cared about my bubble count. When I joined this site years ago I was just as immature and irrational as any of the worst fanboys past or present. I justified my behavior back then as what I saw as "tit for tat" but long ago realized I only lowered myself and represented myself in a way I didnt like. I like to think although admittedly I'm no saint and I will let some know not so nicely from time to time, still I'm better off without anger. Ive apologized and although its the internet where we are all anonymous and I dont want to sound cliché but Ive just tried to be true to myself and never let others affect how I feel or dictate what I say. I'm right sometimes, I'm wrong sometimes but either way its how I genuinely feel when I comment. See its not impossible to turn over a new leaf but I keep this account instead of starting over so everyone can see my flawed past and I remember where I came from. lol

Now on this issue I stand behind my statement that calling out Penello for simply saying he's sorry for basically not showing the UI publicly is hypocritical when you consider the general reaction to the topics in regards to sony being honest about some things that didnt happen, or weren't as first perceived. It's not even a case of a lie or mistake, he's really apologizing out of nowhere.....also its fair to point out their direct competition has shown far LESS of their UI functionality so again I FEEL like its very hypocritical on many known sony fans part to bash Penello on this issue. I do respect and appreciate you disagreeing in a very rational manner. Either way I'm not here to convince anybody about me or this subject just saying what I think and let folks make up their own mind.

[MRMagoo123]

they have shown it the same way they show their multiplat games .......on a pc, its windows 8.

[Naga]

@ MRMagoo123

Dev kit = Xbox One. Dev kit =/= PC.

They have already said the Dev Kits are exactly the same as the retail console. Please refrain from spreading lies.

[Sarick]

Are you sure? I see the some relevance to your reasoning. They'll clearly want to keep it analogous with their PC OS and mobile devices to promote cross platform acceptance.

I my doubts the XB1 OS will be a direct parallel to windows 8. I assume it will have some overlapping relationships comparable to Microsoft's metro interface but not be a complete variation of windows 8 itself.

[bligmerk]

There is the undeniable proof there, believe it was every third party, including "console exclusive" had high-end gaming PC's for their stage and booth demos at TGS. This is after rage-bragging a few weeks ago, they would have "hundreds" of XBone pre-production units at TBS. So, they didn't have enough to give to their third party partners or did the third party partners basically say wanted their demos to be on a gaming PC? *cough*Titanfall*cough*

[ZeroX9876]

I'll tell you one thing though, I prefer them to wait and have a good and well made UI than rush it like they did with X1 at the beginning. better not show anything and wait for it to be "presentable"

[windblowsagain]

Problem is, nobody wants that type of UI. It's horrible on windows 8, it's horrible on windows phones.

Nokia made a big mistake going that route.

[mcstorm]

That's your opinion. I would take the Windows 8 and Windows Phone UI over IOS and android any time. IOS is just a list of Icons and Android is a updated version of Windows Mobile's UI. None of them I have ever liked.

Also Nokia never made a mistake by going down the Windows Phone rout and sales prove this. Nokia were flapping and going the same way RIM have just gone. Nokia now have one of the best selling phones on the market in the Lumia 520 and have made the Lumia Name a big name along Galaxy and Iphone in terms of the general public.

Also if you think Nokia should of gone Android this is also wrong. The Android market is flooded by devices and owned by Samsung and Nokia would not of been able to stand out just like HTC are having the same issue with the One.

I am not saying Microsoft have the best products on the market and im not saying Sony, Apple, Google ect are too as it is a matter of choice but ide rather have OS's that look fell and act different to each other rather than everyone just copy everyone else.

[showtimefolks]

MS we heard your sorry after every single xbox one mistake, just don't mess it up please

[-Foxtrot]

"We're Sorry"

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Had to....if I didn't someone else would of :)

[Xsilver]

u beat me too it.

[Fireseed]

While I find it funny and all... some part of me thinks that you actually think Xbox is comparable to the BP oil spill.

[buynit]

Nope... Ms is much much worse than that Spill! /s

[SegataSanshiro]

What does "would of" means? I see that everywhere and nobody even explains to me after I ask a million times!

[-Foxtrot]

Means the same as Would have but it depends on where you were brought up and how they say things round that area. They say it's "not correct" but to be honest, I've heard a ton of people say it. I don't think no one cares to be honest. I live in Newcastle by the way so I feel like it goes along with Geordie slang

[SegataSanshiro]

Bad grammar is bad grammar, just because everyone does it doesn't make it "alright to do"

[cell989]

lol dat southpark episode, thats how I picture Penello and Larry Major/MAjor Hyrb/ Nelson Hyrb/Nelson Larry or whatever his name is

[jhoward585]

I'm not interested in seeing the Xbox One UI right now...I want to see some game demos.

[Regis]

That too

[XB1_PS4]

With all the supposed "magic" that Kinect bring to the UI, I kinda want to see some demos of just navigation.

[Animal Mutha 76]

Oh that's ok Albert. It doesn't matter too much, I'm not worried. You guys have great form with the UI. Its a changeable thing so I'm sure you will change several times during the X1s live span as you did the 360.

Just make sure the thing plays games really well out of the box and you can tinker with the UI to your hearts content.

I don't buy a console for its UI but if you can include a good one that would be nice - cheers :)

[Summons75]

Yeah but considering MS now a days it will look not to much different from the 360 and a near clone of windows 8....such an ugly design too.

[pacostacos]

to each his own i guess i like the design and it seems alot of comoanies are going yhat route when designing their UI's now

[ceed911]

Yeah the tiles are nice and it will keep getting better with feedback.

They created a whole new OS appearance on something that hasnt been changed in like 15 years, of course it wouldnt be perfect, but it was more about people being set in their ways.

[Newman96]

They pretty much showed the Xbone's UI at their press conference in May....

[Caleb_H]

We're really really really sorry. Just not sorry enough to show you it. Or is the xbox one not ready yet? If MS knew what was good for them they would stop throwing fuel on that fire.

[Kuse]

They showed the UI back in May, but not the latest build of course...

[NoLongerHereCBA]

Don't come with facts, people here don't like those.

[Kuse]

Sadly that is the case, its why I rarely post on this site anymore. It's just a cesspool of rabid fanboys.

[BG11579]

Penello is sorry because of a leak video about the UI?
They are capable of asking for forgiveness for this kind of stuff, but not for the the DRM and the 24h connection.
Their logic escapes me...

[Tctczach]

If they did would your feelings not be hurt? Please. They shouldn't have to apologize.

[BG11579]

No you're right, why should Microsoft apologize for the meaningful things.
They must like ex-fans turning to the competition...

[buynit]

If them taking the drm stuff out before it launched wasn't enough to capture you then im sure an apology would have still escaped you..

[BG11579]

When they announce the patch to remove the DRM and 24h connection, the message was that they had listen to the complains of the players about it and decided to please us. In a sense, it was like "See how great we are because we listen what the consumers complaints". There was no "sorry" or "mea culpa" or anything addressed to us.
The truth is, if they really had listened to the players, they would have change the policy long before long before the presentation. Just after the tweeter revelations/flame-war with the ex-artistic director for the Xbox, for example.
The real reason of the change of policy was the difference of pre-order numbers between Sony's and Microsoft's console. Don Mattrick annd pears were all like "Hell, we are not selling at all! In the next board meeting we are going to get killed by investors. We got to do something or we are death.". (There was even a news about this meeting board at N4G later on). And the thing is, they still believe that their long term vision hasn't change at all (you can also check that out here in N4G).

So yeah I'm pissed with them, but I got good reasons to be so. So, don't you make excuses for them, it's up to them to apologize and to change accordingly to those apologies.
I don't hate MS, I hate what MS has become.

[buynit]

You feel entitled don't you lol... Seriously your feelings was hurt sooo bad that the only way get over it would be an Apology?! Over something that wasn't even sold to you yet..

At that point ms didn't do a massive show and tell to get enough feed back to take it out, these consoles are expected to sell in the millions yet ms was supposed to change everything before millions got to know about It?

I don't know any more then you do if ms changed it for the gamers or the pre orders and as a gamer i couldn't care less what the reason was as long as it was removed. I don't need to hear im sorry or for ms to send me a love letter all i want is the games but in your case its about loving the company Right?! What a bunch of sad new gen games we have..

[Methadone]

Ah...so the UI and entire Xbox hardware have something in common...the MS reps are really really sorry about it.

I would...just joined N4G been hearing a lot of negative news about it from youtube comments but most of them are sensible...taken a bit far but sensible.

Xbox brand is basically on death row....so let it have its fun in the cell playing with Mr. Jingles and tell us your sorry after the dry headed execution.

[lawgone]

In English?

[lawgone]

LOL... 7 disagrees with "in English?" What, you would say that comment is not all over the place? Someone please explain that middle paragraph to me. Oh wait, you're not disagreeing that it can barely be read. You're disagreeing because he said "Xbox is on death row" and I didn't applaud his fine writing skills for that. I see.

[lawgone]

This site has become laughably pathetic. Yeah, this is just like the BP Oil spill. Holy sh*t you guys live in your own special little world. Probably has little dragons and stuff flying around like that childish "greatness awaits" commercial too.

[DigitalRaptor]

You had to go ahead and invalidate everything you said with that last sentence didn't you?

The sense of humour is lost on you guys. I really think Microsoft's actions, and everyone's reactions to them have damaged you.

[lawgone]

So you were ok with my first comment but object to my joke and say that means I miss the humor. Interesting. But no, I just vehemently dislike irrational people and there's nothing more irrational than a console fanboy. They make diehard liberals and conservatives seem tolerable. And I would say the same (and have) to XB1 fanboys, there are just far fewer of them here. It is inarguable that N4G has become a Playstation site. They try to pretend they're not by throwing the occasional XBox article in here (which is immediately voted down) much like Fox News occasionally has a kind word for Obama. It's become a bad joke.

[ziggurcat]

maybe the UI is part of their secret sauce/super secret NDA that doesn't actually exist (no one has shown any proof), but people still keep referring to it because misterx says there's a secret NDA?

[Methadone]

If NDA stood for NO DAMN ADVANCEMENTS then maybe...

Mr. X is like that guy that throws a party then gives a speech about how there is another universe that everyone who attended the party can go to after drinking a nice cold cup of arsenic Kool-Aid.

Poor followers on that site...I almost feel sad for them. It's like their waiting for cancer results only to find out they still have it.

1.31tf system heavily customized with all kinds of doodads just so Microsoft can promote to casuals and make a profit while their pansy ass shareholders who never touched a game console can be wowed by all the "TV and Social future proof" bullshit. Makes me sick how people can follow being thrown under the bus!

They suffered with DVD9 last gen limiting games..now they have to deal with a 50% weaker console..I guess they just gotta #dealwithit

[meatysausage]

There is only a small handful of Xbox idiots that believe that guy. Most gamers are fine with the power levels. That misterx guy says he is a Xbox fan but complains about the next gen to levels. If he cared that much he wouldn't even be touching anything but a PC.

On topic, There's no reason to insult however, just enjoy your console instead of bashing, it gets old

[NoLongerHereCBA]

@eggnog93, I actually like reading and posting at MrX's website. Too bad he likes to remove posts/not allow them if you do not agree with him or if it's not completely positive. Much more interesting to read those comments though than here.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

There is nothing to apologize for. Neither company has really "shown" of the UI as a core presentation. Its been seen here and there running and to be frank like others have said I expect the UI of the Xbox One to go through changes over its life time.

Now I will say this. Showing off the UI working similar to what they did with Destructoid or ShackNews is something they should get a video of and out to the public pronto. What those sites described from their recent time with it is that magic that consumers need to see.

[Nocando]

Enough with the apologies already, it's annoying me and I pre ordered the damned thing.

[_cyrax]

well, sony actually opened their gamescom conference showing the ps4's UI

[voodoogts]

"We're sorry." Sounds similar to when Sony had to lay off thousands of workers and selling their buildings because the business struggles to make profit.

[LordMaim]

Before you start down that road, look at the Xbox Division's finances. The Xbox (zero?) never made a profit, losing four billion dollars during its lifespan. The 360 lost another three billion and has only started making money in the last three years, but its a drop in the bucket compared to their other divisions, and not nearly enough to justify the PR black eye the Xbox One launch has given them. ValueAct pressed for Ballmer's resignation, and now they're pressing for Microsoft to sell the Xbox Division entirely. I doubt you'll get a "we're sorry" when that happens.

[Regis]

In case you didn't know ValueAct only owns 1% of Microsoft Ballmer owns 19% which do you think will have the better voice.

[LordMaim]

You tell me. The board fired him to appease ValueAct. Now ValueAct has a seat at the table that he no longer runs. As a result, stock prices went up. Ballmer doesn't own 19% of Microsoft. Not even Bill Gates, who is the largest individual shareholder, owns 19% of Microsoft. Ballmer owns under 5%, and he can't block a popular opinion alone. The Xbox Division's operating margin for the past 12 months was just 8.7 percent, versus 34 percent for the entire company. Its a constant source of PR issues, and has a direct affect on the value of Microsoft stock, as was seen after their disastrous reveal of the Xbox One in May. ValueAct aren't the only voting bloc that views the Xbox Division as a liability, and ultimately the vote will come down to profits.

[BLow]

Hey check this out:
http://www.playstationlifes...

Just trying to help you keep up on the latest news. The funny thing is that when you buy a new building you have to fill it with people. Over 2,000 for this one. Sony doesn't have the advantage of selling an OS on over 90% of the computer market. But their gaming division is just fine. Times are tough and have been tough for years but I guess Sony was the ONLY COMPANY that had to lay off people...rolls eyes...

[rbluetank]

i remember when Sony got hacked awhile back. KAZ came out on MAY 1 2011 and bow his head with Sony execs. KAZ and Sony execs did this on tv for a long pause. KAZ then said that Sony was Sorry for what had happen. this is why I believe Sony "sorry" over M$oft sorry.

[Hicken]

It's the difference between how the two companies are run. And it's reflected in the fanbases of their products, I think.

[rbluetank]

true!

[mochachino]

"I'm so sorry I haven't shown you the UI yet"...

"As I continue to not show it to you"

[corvusmd]

I'm not sure it has to be shown, it looks so straight forward and simple that we already know how it works....that's the beauty of it actually. Sure it'd be cool if they released a video of it being used, but honestly I doubt any of us would learn anything. The only thing I can think of is how to use the Snap feature without voice command...but that might just be hitting the Xbox button...

[christocolus]

take your time my good sir,....you are doing good....nov22 is almost upon us now.

[Automatic79]

Ui looks great from what was posted in another article. Simple yet effective.

[MacTastic]

first off, to people complaining that N4G is a playstation site. Please remember that this site is cyclical. When the 360 came out this site was all about the 360. Now the tides are turning and the ps4 is getting more news. As far as the UI is concerned I am sure it will work just fine. Do you people buy games for the UI, I didn't think so. And its not like any of us have had hands on with the either UI. So seeing it does little for us.

[strigoi814]

I think Websters dictionary would change the definition of

Sorry (sō-rī) - microsoft famous word after E3

[strickers]

Microsoft have never been ready for 2013 launch. Thus is why Kinect has few languages, 3rd party exclusives were bought last minute, They announced that XB Indie games won't appear until next year, they dropped 8 launch countries and haven't shown a UI ( adapted one at that. Not even started from scratch).

[strickers]

And sharing DVR stuff is Live only at launch. Struggling for parity with PlayStation.

[GreenRanger]

Jump In, Apologise.

[Gamer_til_i_dye]

How comes we were being told last week that the Bone was rolling off the production lines? Surely it would roll off with the O/S pre-installed and we should not be hearing this close to launch there are bugs that need ironing out with production in FULL SWING!!!

[Wikkid666]

It's called updates

[KYU2130]

Actually they may not be completely satisfied with the UI and how it is presented. I have seen a few vids of it online and if you look carefully its actually quite bland and drab.

They could still be tweaking it and you would have to do a day 1 update to bring the system up to speed.

Hence the no show of the UI. Imagine the backlash they would receive if that did happen.

[AvariceisOrange]

I want to see it either A: when its done. Or B: when we need to do their job for them and fix it. This UI is the defining feature of the new Xbox. If it's not crystal, they might as well be selling us garbage.

[ALLWRONG]

MS probably wants to keep features quiet as long as they can since the competition tends to copy them at every turn.

[BadlyPackedKeebab]

They need to show that the system is ready. I am going both in the next 12 months and originally thanks to Forza XB1 was going to take priority. Nagging doubts based on not wanting a half working console while ms sort their house out has me tempted to go ps4 first now. This lack of demonstrating to us that the system is good to go is doing more and more harm to a console that is already so far on the back foot its fallen over.

[DevilishSix]

MS is way behind. Honestly if they are still trying to smooth the UI out and work out bugs. This should have already been complete and ready by now for launch, consoles are being manuafactured. My guess is a Day One update just to get the UI loaded and operational, because MS is not ready with LESS than two months to launch.

Wonder how complete the software will work for those with no internet.

[srd4484]

How are they way behind? Please answer that. We've seen as much dashboard as we've seen sony's. We've seen more games played on a real XB1 than a real ps4.

[Call_Of_Doggy]

...srd4484,....
not sure if serious :/. Cuz, what you just wrote is dog shit

Woof!

[Mr_Luke]

@Call_of_doggy

I think srd4484 is joking. I mean, it can only be a joke. I hope... right? O_o

[srd4484]

Prove me wrong then. Post some sources that the public has played on a actual PS4. Simple as that.

[KYU2130]

if they force a day 1 update the software will not work at all without the internet. Let me rephrase that, you will be able to surf the pages but you may not get to play a game or use any non-internet required features.

[Lboogieskells]

Cancelled an Xbox One pre-order today.
+1 Sony,
-1 Microsoft. #RetailFanboy #badcustomerservice

Less than 60 days away and the UI is still a mystery.

riiiight. I'm sure you never even had one. We've seen as much UI as sony has shown.

I never said I had an X box 1 pre-order. But to clarify my statement.

Today I cancelled a customers Xbone pre order and it felt good to do so.

I read that as "Really, really sorry UI isnt ready yet" according to CBOAT an MS insider on NeoGAF circa August 2013.
@ srd4484 you sir, are out your fucking mind OR a shill. Ive seen guys on N4G land explain thousands of times hardly any Xbone games are running on X1 dev kits, their mostly Win7 or 8 PCs with GPUs that blow the mid range HD7790 in the Xbone away.

I would say that they don't really have anything to apologize for. As consumers we look to them to make things for us to enjoy, BUT as a consumer (if you're looking to purchase their system, I'm not) you should at least have the common sense to not be a product loyalist and expect them to be more organized and together with their platform this close to launch. Some may not like at 2 months as a long time, but before you know it Nov will be here and they have yet to show. Common sense will get you a lot further than looking for a reason to defend this lack of development this late into production. It's like you're about to get married in two months and your fiance still cheats on you. But you're like "Its OK. As long as she isn't cheating after we get married." And anyone who says that that's ok, really may need to reevaluate themselves.

If it resembles Windows 8 in any manner, it would be best that they NOT show it.

This is supposed to be the startup tune for the XBone UI:

Oh! Thought that photo WAS the UI.

I don t have a "dog in the fight" re PS4 and XBOne but this guys excuse for not showing it is far worse than the delay in presenting the UI-

He wants to show it, wants to do a public demo but his schedule has been too busy??? The problem I have w MSFT/XBOne is the people representing the company/console- I know they are all very smart, but they assume the rest of the world, particularly their own customers are both dumb and naïve.

If they just address issues with a little bit of truth and sincerity, they would not have looked nearly as bad to date- Its like they can t help themselves from reverting to BS instead of addressing the issue s head on- even if he said "no comment" or it s not reday to show yet would be far better than "my schedule is too busy"- He is not the only guy at MSFT that could present it and considering his responses so far, he may want to find another person to present it- Bill Gates is not as bsy as he once was- get him to do it

What....ya'll wanna see the XBox One dashboard?

The kid of some parent (presumably fired now) uploaded a youtube video of the XBox One dashboard UI a couple weeks ago, effectively leaking it for the whole world to see. From the video, you can see the UI is still in Beta form...so it probably wont look exactly the same at launch. You can also see the controller, the kinect 2.0 and the XBox One itself, in the video.

This is legit, folks. No way this is faked or hoaxed. Check it out:

well at least his been honest ! just like yoshida is right ps fans..lol you guys are taking this too seriously..

[Godlovesgamers]

"Penello "really, really sorry" that the Xbox One UI hasn't been publicly shown"

Oh no sweat 'Nello, I wasn't getting an Xbone after I heard about your companies links with the NSA and government spy programs, so it alright, don't hurt yourself.
