If one is released pre-launch I'd guess it's tonight at midnight since that's when the embargo is lifted for Xbox One console reviews.

If it wasnt confirmed than why would you expect it to be a t launch? Who is going to cancel over twitch being delayed by a couple months at most? Come on use your head.
You love to hate on the X1 and MS though so try and turn this into a big deal.
Maybe he was just talking about watching Twitch streams. Doesn't make any sense otherwise.
You can still watch Twitch streams. They delayed the ability to stream from your Xbox, that's all.

On the bright side, twitch servers are breathing a sigh of relief, they're hammered enough as is. Popular streamer MANvsGAME was bitching for about an hour about all the shitty PS4 streamers with 1-2 viewers wrecking the servers and delaying his broadcast on his last show. :lol

Do you really think they can just walk in here and announce features which haven't made it in for launch? If so then you're incredibly naive.
People always like to focus on the negative, but with this announcement has come the information that you can upload clips straight to Skydrive, where the files can be accessed in .mp4 format and edited/used to your heart's content - something which the competition doesn't yet have implemented. It swings in roundabouts.
That in and of itself isn't enough information to work with? If it's not obvious by now that buying an XBO at launch is a larger gamble than usual for a variety of rumoured *and* confirmed reasons, what's really going to change the minds of people who have decided to stick with getting one at launch anyway?
HAHAHAHA! luveeet!

For those people that are so confused about "How in the world could this be delayed when Microsoft revealed a deal with Twitch before Sony did?"
I think many of you are forgetting that Sony announced the ability to stream your gameplay BEFORE Microsoft did. They may not have announced how, but that was a feature at their reveal. Sony built the hardware into the PS4 to allow streaming, without an impact on gameplay.
Microsoft may have announced the Twitch deal before Sony, but it almost appears now that Streaming, and maybe even Game DVR, were tacked on in response to Sony. Now Microsoft is still trying to get Streaming to work correctly.
Also, for those that are saying this isn't a big deal, nobody is going to do it, why would anyone want to watch others play games! I totally agreed with you, before last Friday. On my PS4, in just a few clicks of my D Pad, I can go over to Live with Playstation, and it immediately pulls up a ton of games currently being streamed.
This weekend, I watched a couple of streams, which were very High QUality, of NFS Rivals. I bought it 2 days ago just because of the streams. Last night, I sat back watching several streams of NBA Live, it was like a comedy. Game looked awful. I was also able to pull up some Battlefield 4 Multiplayer, and some Madden. It is instant.
So for me, streaming USED to not be a big deal at all. But now, it immediately impacted my thoughts about NFS Rivals, and I bought it when it wasn't on my radar. I also go to see first hand how Crappy NBA Live was, and realize I didn't want Madden anymore. All of this from my PS4, on my screen, without even searching for it. I clicked the icon on my PS4 OS, then clicked on a thumbnail of one of the current streams. Quick, easy, effective.

As always, Dent being a complete idiot.
That feature has nothing to do with the livestreaming feature. I have no idea why you even brought it up, it's off-topic.
Ars technica tells me to not read too much into those twitter comments.

It makes you wonder if anything else is delayed at launch or simply coming much later than originally promised.

Weak, had fun watching Twitch streams of PS4 games since I'm not getting one for a while and was very tempted to get one earlier. XBone fugged up.

Well you kind of just reworded the exact same post I quoted. Bishop reacted to information CBOAT gave him indicating it was something huge. We don't have that information yet because CBOAT won't (or can't) give it to us. This info he's keeping quiet about seems like it dwarfs any bad info we've gotten so far and could be useful to know for people planning on buying it regardless of whether or not it would change their minds.
Uh oh...some shit's about to go down.

We still don't have that chart.
What I was told by cboat via PM back on October 23rd is being actively cross-checked against issues as they come to light. Twitch functionality was one of them. I also told him/her not to put anything else from that list out there w/o real proof - I know firsthand how things can change leading up to launch, I've been through 4 of them now.
We take vetting seriously here, people.
I've wondered that if MS had it in the works that they would have at least touched on it during their initial XB1 reveal. I could totally be wrong but it does seem to me that the inclusion of streaming/DVR features on XB1 are more reactionary than anything.
Not just this, I watched Garnett Lee from Weekend Confirmed stream NFS and answer questions Saturday night. It opens up all kinds of new ways for games media to do coverage. Brad Shoemaker from Giant Bomb essentially streamed the completion of his Resogun review which was a great moment.
I can't fathom what this could be considering all the crushing blows already dealt to MS/XB1. If this is something really big though (as Bish kinda eluded to before from CBOAT), why it's not known is kind of scary. What effect is it going to have on the people who purchase this machine for $499.99? Is it something detrimental to their experience?

Wasn't that about showing off Xbox One at GamesCom? I don't think it was about Twitch at the time.

It feels like FUD when nothing substantial is posted, though. Now that the Twitch news checks out, does he have free reign to post the rest?

Cboat, we need the rest of the bad news ASAP. Consider it a public service for all those kids who will be opening up an Xbone on Christmas morning.

Seems like the best way to handle it in all honesty.
There's a lot of jaded people out there right now looking for an excuse to crucify cboat, despite all the good insider stuff he's leaked over the years. It's a case of wanting to shoot the messenger for bad news.

I'm guessing server crashes are going to be widespread and not just because of the sudden surge of people online trying to download the firmware or digital games.

Cboat hinted that this is only the beginning.
When it's enough to have CBOAT come out of hiding and Bish come out of the bunker to elaborate rght before a launch, you know shit is about to going down.

Is it possible you tell us the number of features he/she listed? under over 5?
I guess you guys are gonna have to wait until this Friday to find out, hee, hee, hee.
He probably doesn't want to risk getting found out by Microsoft's higher-ups (that is, if he works there).
