Was this your 2nd or 3rd website that your customers are transferring from?  The same customers that had this "annual renewal" subscriptions for the previous interations?  Was this... screw it, I can't even continue with your horrible analogy. The fact of the matter is, it's a feature that was included in X360 so people can manage their data and it's not there now. With a 500 gb HDD and the size of installation on both consoles it's a shitty design flaw not to include this at launch. With so many people mentioning it out of gate it is obviously "needed" now not later.

No it's not. Even if you bought every single game plus it's DLC, you would not use up all of your hard drive space. Not to mention you can very easily delete your games (your saves are saved in the cloud and can't be managed yet).

So no, it is not needed at all right now. They should definitely add total file management by the springtime though. People are mentioning it right out of the gate because it's a nice feature to have, and they want it added, not because they need it.

Fair enough then. So the next PC i buy i'll tell them it doesn't matter what size hdd I get because I don't need to see the storage capacity or need to manage it in 2013 because any content I have such as games, movies, music etc I'll just delete it when i get the error message "Not enough storage" on my all in one system..

So your problem is with the Harddrive size, not the lack of true management. Because what you just said, and what's actually going on with the X1 are two different things. Not to mention you're totally disregarding the fact that the such functionality will be added with an update (probably in the same update that allows for any external harddrive to be used as storage) and that said update will most likely show up sometime in the spring.

Right now, in it's current state, the X1 doesn't need true file management. You can delete any games, apps, or DLC (and I'm sure movies, music, and TV shows as well) of your choosing that you downloaded/installed with absolute ease. I'm not saying it's not a nice feature to have, I'm saying it's not needed in the Xbox One's current state because the main part of that functionality is already there.
