“If you look back at the Xbox 360’s launch, what it was in 2006 when it launched is completely different from what it is now,” Hryb said in an interview with Canada.com . “We didn’t even have things like the party system or the ability to support external storage when we launched the Xbox 360. So we are absolutely committed to adding new features to the Xbox One over the course of its life span.”Hryb said the team working on the Xbox One “are gamers themselves,” so they want to shape the system into something gamers can enjoy.“We’re going to continue to refine the system and make it what the Xbox fans are expecting and what they want,” he said. “We’re listening to the feedback every single day. I’ve already seen some changes in the operating system internally with what we’re building.”The improvements aren’t just limited to the box. Hryb said “refining” the Kinect is a priority moving forward, as it’s part of Microsoft’s overall system approach.
