Um  the one for the xbox oen doesn't require to open the xbox one. Its USB external hdd where you just plug it in and it works. If they went out of the way to give su that , then why didn't they go fro the 3.5 internal HDD not the more expensive 2.5. Afterall they ar efor the gamers and all about gaming according to their slogan. 1TB is tiny and i can get 3tb for the same one. Currently i have a 3tb external hdd for my xbox one and a 3th for my WII u. IF you buy the 1tb replacement, you will end up reinstalling your games stored on the cloud, That will again eat up  half of hdd and you will stuck  again in data management. I prefer external hdd support because you don't have to reinstall everything and  it won't consume the space of yoru hdd. If you  buy a 3tb external HDD , you get 2.99 of free space purely for new games .

then you comoketel missed my point. the XB1 didn't start off with external HDD support. and unlike the PS4 if you wanted to put in a bigger HDD you had to open the box, void your warranty and go through all sorts of hoops.

long story short, the XB1 wasn't designed for the end user to upgraded the internal HDD. the PS4 on the other hand was designed with that in mind. so for ms it was necessary for them to get external HDD support a quickly as possible while for don't it's a non issue. with $100 you can get a 1TB hybrid HDD. 

I agree with you, external HDD soupier would be really great I just don't think it's something don't is rubbing to put it. and for good reason.
