Xbox 360 Glitches Reported Elizabeth Millard, newsfactor.com
37 minutes ago
In an informal online poll, some Xbox 360 users have
noted that they are seeing glitches in their gaming consoles.
On the Teamxbox.com site, run by Fox Interactive unit IGN
Entertainment, a poll on the forums indicated that
between 14 and 16 percent of respondents are
having problems with their machines.
Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - news) has not reported any major
issues and has noted that any difficulties are only
in a very small number of the consoles.
The Xbox 360 was released on November 22, and online
discussion sites have been filling up with reports on the
gameplay features since then.
Current Issues
In the Teamxbox.com forum, about 100 users
have reported issues with their consoles. Problems related
to possible overheating seem to be the most common issue,
with machine shutdowns as a result.
Users have reported that their machines shut down
after only about a half hour of play, and
troubleshooting efforts uncovered heating issues.
The results of the poll are unscientific, and are not being
seen on other parts of the Web. Some observers
have pointed out that users experiencing problems
would be more likely to report them on the site
than users who are happy with their Xbox 360
experience, which would skew the poll's results.
Also, there are a number of satisfied users also weighing
in on the Xbox 360. Currently, about 600 respondents
not only have reported no trouble,
but also have praised the console for its interface
and controller functions.
Wait and See
Possible problems with the Xbox 360 are likely to
be limited in scope, noted Forrester Research
analyst Ted Schadler,
simply because the consoles are sold out.
"Clearly, it's a hot product because you can't get one,
" he said. "There's a serious shortage in
available units, which is interesting,
considering the holiday season is so close."
But loss of holiday dollars could work out in Microsoft's
favor if glitches really do have to be fixed,
Schadler added.
"A staged rollout might be a way to minimize
the impact of any issues, if they exist," he noted.
