What surprises me more is that its Windows 7 and not 8

Dev-environment is older than Windows 8, for sure.

Pretty normal? Well then why does Julian Ringwall from GamePro tweeted this? He could have added "pretty normal" to his tweet.

X1 Demos are not even running on dev kits.

Well because it is Microsoft. So any little thing that seems out of order needs to be national news. Just like the story about them paying publishers to only show their games. People are up in arms about that, but don't realize Sony does it as well with games like Assassains Creed (every year), Theif 4 and other titles.

People are putting a negative spotlight on Microsoft for doing normal things in the industry just because of the DRM thing. The cultrue we live in sadly likes to ride the negativity wave once ONE bad thing happens.

We can go on and on about it. Like Microsoft isn't realising in Asia in 2013 and people start asking if Microsoft is behind that much. Well if you look at the sales there is actually a buisness reason why they are not. However people just want to run with them having production issues.

Well that was quite obvious wasn't it? You can't expect games at E3 to run on retail hardware, 6 months before launch. Sony is probably doing the same thing. As a matter of fact, these are target demos. Actual games aren't gonna look as good. And that applies to both consoles.

And to be perfectly honest, I am more concerned with the PS4 right now. That thing is disturbingly thin. How the hell do you fit an HD7850-7870 equivalent of a GPU in there?

It is usual - welcome to the reality of gaming. Since when are you a gamer?

So what? Some games do, some don't. It's up to the devs. This is not an XOR to all games.

Exactly. 100% agree.

Another example:

The Xbox One needs an internet connection. This is confirmed for weeks or even months. Why can't we just accept that by now?

No, as soon as the MS-support-Twitter-Account confirms this to a random Twitter user, we make a thread about it and are in rage-mode for 5 or 6 pages.
Don Mattrick confirms it, we make another thread about it and go nuts for another 5-6 pages.
Phil Spencer explains this - another thread.

So IF you don't have any internet in your house and NO internet at all on your smartphone, the Xbox One is not for you. We know this by now.
Can we just go back to discuss the games now?

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Maybe every Xbox One game is also on PC

Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

hmmm it doesn't need always on.... it needs to check in once a day.... so i'm pretty sure a dial up internet connection could be enough for that.... which means anyone with the possibility to have a land line should be fine....

that 24h check in is and as always been a non issue.... people just like to bitch.....
