11 Things Microsoft Wants You To Forget About The Xbox One

8. The Fact The Still 360 Handles Better

One of the biggest problems that became immediately apparent as soon as retail units were shipped to reviewers and customers, was that their were some core features missing on the Xbox One, that are actually on the 360. Wait, what? Aside from the voice-control stuff, in terms of the options open to you through the dashboard, the 360 actually has more going for it? You'd be right in thinking Microsoft were are crazy for bringing out a newer piece of technology with fewer capabilities, but it's exactly what they did. From a really boring 'My First Menu'-looking system that has zero customisability outside of colouring some icons, to a general lack of friendliness when navigating between programs, the One feels like a massive step back in terms of functionality - and that's before you've tried talking to it. Since release a couple of things have been patched back into the console, like checking your achievements without leaving the game and being able to start a chat between multiple friends, but with these solutions barely breaking through the stymy of negativity it's done little to turn the tide in their favour.
