Microsoft har så sent som i sommer overvejet at lave en udgave af Xbox One, der ikke har noget drev til bluray-skiver og dvd'ere. Det er Microsofts Phil Spencer, der i et interview med OXM fortæller, at man seriøst overvejede en drevløs konsol lige efter E3-messen.
"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."
Ville du købe en Xbox One, hvis den ikke havde noget optisk drev, eller anskaffer du stadig de fleste spil på fysisk skive?
