"Internet Explorer will be one of numerous apps available on Xbox One at launch, Nov. 22."

I'd rather have no Internet than use Internet Explorer

Good thing Internet Explorer is gone then.

I don't know about you guys, but I have a PS4, and a bunch of other consoles with web browsers. I have 3 desktop PCs and a Laptop. If I want to watch netflix, use a web browser, or any of those other apps that come basic on an "HD Console" or "Smart TV," I do not need the Switch to do it too.

I've never owned a Nintendo console, so I don't understand how not having a browser effects people's opinion on the console. From what it seems, it only plays games. I wouldn't need it to play movies, music, browse the web, etc. I'm buying it for the games. Not features I can already take advantage of on PC.

PS4 has a web browser. Do I use it? Of course not.
