Xbox One uden optisk drev

Microsofts Xbox One er som bekendt udstyret med et blu-ray drev, så folk stadig har muligheden for at spille fysiske kopier af deres spil.

Men så sent som i sommeren 2013 overvejede Microsoft at udgive en version af Xbox One som var foruden det optiske drev. Det fortæller Microsofts Marc Spencer i et interview.

"Obviously, after the announcement and E3, there was some feedback about what people wanted to change. There was a real discussion about whether we should have an optical disc drive in Xbox One or if we could get away with a purely disc-less console, but when you start looking at bandwidth and game size, it does create issues.

"So we decided - which I think was the right decision - to go with the Blu-ray drive and give the people an easy way to install a lot of content. From some of those original thoughts, you saw a lot of us really focusing on the digital ecosystem you see on other devices - thinking of and building around that."

Hvad mener du? Gik Microsoft den rigtige vej, eller skulle de prøve at gå forrest og kun fokusere på digitale titler?
