Constantly Improving
It’s true, the Xbox One did struggle a bit out of the gate when it released at the tail-end of 2013. This was mostly due to a faulty message and the fact that the competition seemingly hit all of the right notes. But a lot has changed since that cold November. Thanks to Phil Spencer and the rest of the team over at Microsoft’s Xbox division, the company’s latest console is constantly improving, providing newer and better iterations on all of its features while also throwing in fan requests to sweeten the deal.
Since launch, we’ve seen screenshot functionalities introduced, sharing fine-tuned, Free Games With Gold, backwards compatibility, mods, Play Anywhere, and more. It is a console that has been, and continues to be, molded by its fans. That’s actually saying a lot. While one of its competitors is also doing its best to give fans what they want, Nintendo has been struggling with putting something out that consumers are actively looking for. On top of that, no major changes ever seem to hit the hardware.
The Xbox One actually changing over time is definitely a big deal. The console today is very different from what it was two years ago, and chances are that a year from now it will be even better.
