Sounds like nothing is going accordin to plan over at Microsoft. So to sum it up
-Yield issues due to heat problems w/ ESRAM
-Started R&D very late, much later than Sony
-Change in leadership apparently didn't work very well
-Entertainment focus forced them to lock-in 8GB DDR3 early which also forced them to use ESRAM to make up for the RAM disadvantage
-GPU might be underclocked to try and improve yields
-Development tools aren't very mature either, they are behind Sony
-6 Months behind schedule
-PS4 reveal + 8GB GDDR5 caught them off-guard.
-Reveal UI/OS wasn't real-time. It was faked.

As a tech enthusiast, who would be excited for an Xbox One right now? If given a choice, I think most would pick the PS4.

There are a lot of people who never read these or other forums. I know my friends and fam who own X360 were all excited about X1 until I told them about the DRM. I haven't yet told them about this news.

 

There is more people on those foruns who have no idea what is EDRAM or GDDRAM or GPU yilds...

None of the news means any thing, even if we could check them. Well, I´m current working in a project that is 18 MONTHS behind schedule, and this is not anything unsual. 

Those are vapor news, every single hardware/software developers face a lot of problems and uncertanties before a product was released. The Xbox 360 had several last-time designs chances and many issues carried over after the release. The RRoD was just one of them.
