10 Problems Nobody Wants To Admit About The Xbox One

8. Sensitive To The Touch

If you own a pet or have one of those annoying 'kid' things, you'll know all-too-well the plight of inquisitive noses and grubby hands accidentally (or intentionally, some would swear) turning off your Xbox One mid-gaming session. Whether you're facing off against an end-of-level boss or on the killstreak of your life in your favourite shooter; your dog, cat or child cares not for the importance of such things, they just want to touch that glowing white light emitting from your console. In fact, the console's power button is so ridiculously sensitive that the act of an animal brushing past the faceplate can be enough to power off the thing, causing you to lose any progress you might have made. Pretty much the entire internet has been calling on Microsoft to introduce some sort of feature that enables users to disable the 'button' entirely, but we've had no such luck as yet. The problem's gotten so bad for some, that they've resorted to asking for tips on how to child-proof their console. Try keeping it elevated and away from the reach of kids. Oh, you have a cat too? God help you.
