can you briefly summaries? don't want to click obvious clickbait. it just rewards the sinners.


A lot of people seem to be missing the point of the video, so here's a summary for those who keep jumping to conclusions or are just saying stupid shit that have nothing to do with what Jim's actually trying to say.

What Jim is not saying

  • The Xbox One in its current state isn't a good console or doesn't have games et cetera.
  • The Xbox One isn't worth buying.
  • People shouldn't be happy with the current state of the console.
  • The Xbox One should die off.

What Jim is saying

  • MS started out horribly, treated its consumers like shit and blamed them for their own shortcomings; after the constant deceit about how certain changes to DRM, kinect and many other things are impossible, they apply those changes like it's no problem.
  • People shouldn't just immediately perform fellatio on them for deciding not to treat us like total shit anymore. It's not that they performed an action in the interest of consumers, it's that they performed an action after they realized that their original ideas backfired.
  • The original vision of the One and the current state is significantly different. The original vision is thankfully dead.
  • Devs/Publishers/Industry should try to treat the consumer with respect from the get go and not lie to them and try to deceive them.
  • We shouldn't be thankful for them backpedaling and doing the bare minimum, they should be thankful that we still support them now after all they've done.


Don't treat people like shit. It's literally all the vid is about. How is that so hard to understand?

He raises some great points in a harsh way. Worth watching !

Thanks for the synopses good sir. The title is most certainly click bait, but I had  a feeling the guy was most likely making valid points.

Before bashing Xbox One for graphics people should remember PS3's 1080p promise and Motorstorm and Killzone CGI graphics.

He hit the nail on the head, honestly. The Xbox One failed miserably to meet the expectations it so boldly and stubbornly set out to meet. Kinect was a bust, original content did not pan out and all the back pedaling and u-turns were disgraceful. Of course, to a loyal xbox fan, Jim is being a total fanboy and a "hater"

The only good thing is maybe now thEy can focus on what Xbox division does best : GAMES. REALLY FUCKING GOOD GAMES. Not live TV, not original shows, not fucking watercoolers. GAAAAAAMEEEESSSSS.

Jim's rant might be true, but that clickbait title didn't make a good first impression!

I find these harsh claims againt Xbox One wrong. Its a good machine. Consoles should focus on 60 fps gaming, new exciting IP and interesting multiplayer.

He's not complaining about Microsoft reversing their original vision, he's upset about their constant lies. Saying you can't just turn off the always online, or that XBO will never come without Kinect. A lot of early adopters bought the XBO based on Microsoft's statements only for them to backpedal damn near everything they said. 

Isn't that reversing their original vision though? I don't really how they can win either way...

MS: XBO will never come without Kinect

Gamers: STOP FORCING THAT POS ON US!!

MS: You can now buy the Xbox One without the Kinect

Gamers: OMG YOU LIARS!!

It all just seems really pointless to me...

Shit changes, I don't really see the big issue here they're changing to appeal to more consumers.
