This is in 1080 and it's 3 years old pewdiepie's vlogs are still 720
Fuck pewdiepie
I know right
Jcbugatti true words ;)
He uploads Alot of things in 720p. Its faster to upload and easier on Hdd space. Though if nothing is wrong dont fix it. He only needs 720p for alot of games and his face. Austin however...being tech channel..has a standard of being in 1080p.
Still pewdiepie should really upgrade
Phil Spencer saved XBOX ONE after that dick Mattrick almost killed the brand.
+TS Prism Both consoles need to die so everyone can convert to the glorious PC master race.
Or play Wii U. Wii U is the only good console.
Skyfoogle Persona 5 is only on a PlayStation console. Nothing you say can ever beat that. I'm sorry.
TS Prism The Secret of Monkey Island.
+TS Prism when there are no more consoles. console exclusive companies still want to make money
+Skyfoogle all of them seems good.. all of them =have disadvantage and advantage
PC MASTER RACE?? i play pc a lot but just stop interupting (ok.. how to spell that)..
* Looks at all dislikes *
Well, Xbox One users in a nutshell.
+MrSmartyPants Sure? I guess, that would make sense. Calling the xbox one a tech failure was really reaching, after all.
Well, here's my problems with it:
1. They may have said it didn't have to be always online anymore, but they lied. You need to be online for several things, including for DLC to work.
2. Updates automatically make you offline, which disables a lot of stuff. Then, when you do have the time to update, it uses the network again, which destroys the point of turning it off in the first place.
3. You need to purchase games off the store if you want to have them permanently. You can scratch your game disc, and it won't do shit for you. It doesn't for a product code or anything.
4. A lot of exclusives that I want are on PS4. (Yet my little brothers wanted to get an Xbox because they wanted roblox on there, which they don't even play anymore. I want to play the Last of Us!)
I had an iPhone once and I tried to use Apple Maps to get to my friends house and it led me to the country side
jesse panosh butt what if he lives there
Masterzz 57 He lives in a downtown area
jesse panosh that is crazy
jesse panosh I used it once and I reach an abandoned hospital

Windows Vista?... I guess you've never had the pleasure of using Windows ME
yea i know
One of my systems is still running Vista. It wasn't MS's fault hardware manufacturers were late to the party. And yeah, ME was a train wreck.
I never had such pleasure as now because when I started to use Windows 8.1 (Back in August 2012(Beta 1 windows 8.1) when 8 was existing)
IRQ1Conflict
I know, I remember back in the day I had a Toshiba laptop with a Core Duo processor and a 1Gb of ram, It ran Windows Vista pretty damn good!!
IRQ1Conflict Yea man, I my old computer which I got in 2008 had Vista, but with "massive" 2GB:s of RAM it never crashed. My only ever problems were that somehow when I let my sister clean the computer from dust (back then I was still kinda intimidated by computers), she had unscrewed the power supply main power cable insert, and eventually when I one day happened to move my computer a bit, both poles of the plug connected the case. That caused a short-circuit and it made a loud bang and bright light. Nothing to do with Vista nor this video tho, although I guess it counts as a tech failure?
Before watching video
Why so many dislikes???
"Xbox one"
oh
Yup because of the bandwagon little kids.
they are all butt hurt
+QR Code Stupid Xbox one fans...they really need to switch to nintendo
Ty535Plays lol
+Ty535Plays really Nintendo the company that literally used puppets at E3 2015
So if I buy a Xbox One and plug it into my TV, I can watch TV?! That's genius.
+Igorcastrochucre Actually the idea is you're able to plug your cable box into the xbox one, allowing you to flip between TV and games in the matter of seconds, as well as freeing up one of the HDMI slots in your TV.
SquishyPon3
You think that something described like this would get a minor, however notable mention, not be the center of the whole spectrum of features XB1 has. I just made that joke because of the way it was advertized as a "Entertainment System" rather than "a console with new TV and internet features"
I have two HDMI port in my TV, so I plugged in my computer and my TV modem in the other. if there is something good on TV I can switch, but I mainly watch shows through my computer.
win everywhere. got a wireless keyboard and mouse, all working fine even in gaming. if I want to play with a controller I plug in a Xbox 360 USB controller and done. plus I can play all the older console games and most titles come on PC too.
I m not sure that u can just connect ur xbox one and watch tv.I have ane xbox one and I was not able to watch tv just by connecting it.however,u can plug up ur tv box to the xbox one and.d THAT will work
+ybnrmalatall A satellite TV box would work on the xbone as well, along with anything else that relays info though HDMI. Including a PS4 and PC (Don't try it though, input lag is horrendous as it just wasn't designed for that use) Really I don't see the point in insulting one another. the Xbox one is cheaper and barely weaker, PS3 is a little better but pricier. all it comes down to is what gimicks you want to fall for (be is Playstation or xbox gimicks)
I play PC. I don't really care what people buy.
the biggest test failure is............. youtube 2016
"test"
hero of time I like you avi lol aa fam
lol scandal of youtube views youtube GOOOO BACK TO NORMAL
attack helicopter nooooooo it was fine then but now it's dead
Bruh that's the year your comment was made
The biggest tech failures are iPhones, iPods, iPads, and Macs.
r u a druggo
iPads also, Fanboy?
As far as I can tell, the closest thing mentioned to a faliure is a Mac. The hand-held iThings have been quite successful. Having said that, I should probably mention that I'm not that I'm a fan of any of these products.
its an easy target, so no easy targets at this moment, let it rot.
Yes
Windows 8 is amazing, it was designed to run on ARM so everything was cut down to be lean and mean and have the smallest footprint possible on both memory and CPU. This translates to huge benefits on desktop computers getting this same cut down lean and mean subsystem.
Its the stupid interface that nobody likes..
VanillaMilkShark Windows 8 is amazing, Like Barnacules said. The interface is very user friendly and smooth. It looks really nice. I'd rather a windows 8 phone than any kind of iPhone.
***** I like 8.1 better because it has the 'Start' Button
Plain , outright lie. Microsoft was never good on memory management and Windows 8 isn't any better. I only installed it to learn my way around it for any problems my customers (or i) might face.
Create a dynamic ram drive , crank it with some videos and shit , poof , BSOD , because instead of throttling the application , it systematically kills system processes and it doesn't seem to get enough of it. Low memory algorithm knows no bounds.
Linux solved this shit years ago , you'd think they would take some clues. Plus if you optimize it for a smaller memory footprint , it's gonna be way slower than it would have been in terms of performance.
ARM architecture doesn't have a problem with memory , it's cheap. They should have written an adaptive algorithm to determine the amount of memory footprint built-in apps and system processes leave on the Ram. oh wait , Linux community have already done that too. Such a shame.
***** He said Windows 8 was designed to use a smaller footprint because it included Arm support , that's windows RT (Piece of shit if you ask me) , some of that code may have rubbed off on the x86 version but it's footprint is no smaller than it's predecessor possibly even worse. I was a little subtle about it i admit , but these could have been made out from my previous comment so i didn't digress.
biggest failure on launch day would have to be ps4
Didn't ps4 make more sales compared to Xbox 1
Yes but ps4 was shit on launch day, almost everyone had a problem
Joshua Plantan yeah, on the first day, what do you expect?
Jack Lee Xbox one also had some problems
Jack Lee I got my 64 on the 1st day and had no problems :]
When you know the 9K dislikes are from Xbox fans. XD
Ikr i liked doeh i play xbox :D
I disliked cuz I'm a Xbox fan lol
+CODFeniiz same its ok now
yup
lol
I was expecting something about the Virtual Boy
Gabe Halstead All I've see are fails from the past five years... take into account the issues from the 70's+ like the virtual and the power glove and the list gets longer. HTC first has nothing on them.
Bradley Palmer maybe because what happened in the 70s is pretty irrelevant and we kinda wanna know about modern fails. Plus no one really knew what they were doing with technology in the 70s they were kinda just experimenting with stuff. So its much more interesting to see modern fails because technology has progressed to such an extent that it makes these inventions even more ridiculous.
Vladislav Tereshin the name of the video wasn't 'top 5 tech failures in the last 5 years' though.
StrangeworldEU The 70's???? NO THE 90's WOW!
Gabe Halstead Yeah, you know it was bad when Nintendo made the guy who invented it show it off at a gaming convention AFTER it had failed.
I agree the Xbox One is a tech failure, but I don't think it deserved #1.
IT DID
cbnunya
Well at the time this video was made there definitely was not 2 million XBONEs leaving anyone's shipping center and it was one of the biggest tech flops in history.
Thts only because people are dead set on gettin a xbox one tht they don't know the ps4 really is more realistic
It deserves #1 not just because of the tech... its more because of all the hype that it has. Coming from Microsoft as being one of the largest and most wealthy tech business, and they decide to completely fail on making a console. That's why its #1, due to the hype/overrated.
cbnunya Sorry for your confusion, I am not comparing consoles, this was strictly geared towards Microsoft. I do not own either of them nor am I a PlayStation fan boy. I also do not plan on buy either of them, my PC out performs both of them so you can re-think about your wrong assumption.
Its the fact that the Xbox had more publicity, and for your sake, was projected to have higher sales..... that's where it failed. The hype... Microsoft's competitor crushed them in that aspect.
I am not saying that the console has failed, bottom line.
Every dislike is just an angry fanboy
Yup.
My main console is an xbox one but I kind of wish My friends and I all moved on to ps4. It has a lot better games and exclusives. All Xbox has is halo 5, I do have that game it's fun but it's campaign SUCKED horribly.
exactly
to be honest apple maps is still behind
I like everything about your videos except that godawful "heeey guuyys this auuustin".
it hurts me
lol me to its creepy
Really the Xbox one is here? I don't care who beats who, xbox or ps4, it's not a "failure" when the console has made millions upon millions of dollars. It did what it was supposed to do, which was to have people who had the 360 upgrade. Maybe didn't beat ps4, but does that really make the console a failure? We went from things that were scrapped, to things that just didn't work, to the xbox one. I don't think I could see bias any more clear in this video.
Also, biggest failure on my book would be those google glasses things
This was before the Xbox One came out. This was before they fixed a whole bunch of issues, i'm pretty sure his, along with everyone else's opinions have changed upon the actual release of the Xbox One. This was Published July 10, 2013 and the Xbox One came out on November 22, 2013. So yeah. That's what i think is going on, hope i made sense :D
Oh okay haha that makes sense! I got a little angry there, but still, why call something a failure when it never came out? I can understand something that got cancelled.
SunnySplosion It's because of the way they introduced it.
SunnySplosion ... "why call something a failure when it never came out?", "Also, biggest failure on my book would be those google glasses things" ...think before you type, Google Glass isn't out of a open beta yet, it isnt a released product.
Pretty easy to get your hands on them. Thousands of people own them. Look it up dude, huge difference.
can we add windows 8 to this list?
agree
windows ten was an improvement on 8.1. 8 was vista. 10 was 7.
uLgZ SevenSlayy As someone who primarily uses it for school and media, i have no problem. 8 is what totally slowed down my surface pro 3
Windows 8 and 8.1 wasn't too bad, and that the OS was tablet and touchscreen friendly. Despite that it was not Desktop friendly, and confusing. If you tried the previews, it wouldn't be so bad.
yes
you can
You didn't mention Windows ME
windows 9 lol
I think he just didn't want to acknowledge its exsistnence
If there is Windows Me, why not You?
Zachary Legaspi windows ME was good for its time
Worst recent tech fail is OBVIOUSLY the Wii Mini.
exactly! XD
Its not meant to take serious though. Just some small thing that Nintendo released for an even cheaper version of the Wii
XD well yeah. But they also disabled the online services on regular Wii so its not a big deal anymore
That's strange, have you tried going into an online mario kart race or something like that?
*****
It still works fine on Wii. We use our Wii to stream netflix on a daily basis. Not sure where you're getting your info.
I don't much like the Xbox One but I think this video was far too early to call it the biggest tech failure before it was released. It's probably going to bring in higher profits than the 360 so I doubt Microsoft will call it a failure.
sega 32x was a failure
Tommy Whitaker You're correct, so was the Saturn which is what my pic is from. Still a great console, but 32X wasn't so good.
+Landale Star you like Sega dont you
Tommy Whitaker Yep.
+Landale Star and sega CD was a failure watch angryvideogamenerd video
Blah...I had a LOT typed out, but after re-thinking it, I realized it's really as simple as this.
The Xbox One didn't belong in this list because it hadn't even been released when you posted this video of Tech Failures. It was a huge announcement failure, for sure, but it hadn't even been released yet.
I don't like Microsoft, and I don't pretend to, nor do I support all the Natzi crap that they tried to get away with. But I just don't think a tech announcement failure belongs in a list of tech failures. I, at least, see them as two different things. And, in fact, you even mentioned that it will probably be a solid release after they decided against the Natzi Box One.
I'm sad the wii u sold so poorly I have one and it's a really good console that has very fun games on it and I feel people should give it a chance
Yeah!
whats a wii u?
Regulinecolt009 It's life
Are you kidding me u don't know what Wii U is!!!
ameer naser i do but i'm trying to forget about it
I agree with no.1, the xbox one launch was a complete disaster!
I'm not saying the console itself is a disaster. just how Microsoft presented it.
Da Juice Games Yeah, I mean, now that it's out, it's amazing. But the way they made it look at E3 was like it was something they pulled out of their ass.
Da Juice Games The community is, seriously look at these comments! :D
Bobbie Perez Fanboy much?
lol you think it was worse than any of those other things, then you're a fanboy
Hey Austin, Not sure how a tech can be a failure if it wasn't released yet. I think that was a little premature. Was their press conference a failure? Yes. However, their console is not. It sold 3 million + units so far. You should be calling the Nintendo Wii U a failure before you call the Xbox One a failure only because it took the Wii U a full year to hit those numbers.
Even if Microsoft didn't change their DRM model. It still has to be released to the public first and face its fate. If it doesn't sell, then, and only then, can you call it a failure. That way you can analyze the loss of profits for Microsoft and judge which spot on a top 5 list it falls under.
Just a tip.
then there's barbershop failures
Wow, he looked a lot different then.
Yeah like a potato
@UCbMoiU8r_cSSsowhvJB8vuw bro shut the fuck up
This is what happens when a 20 year old starts talking about the worst tech failures ever. How about early video phones (from before you were born)? The Amphibious Car? The space shuttles? The International Space Station?
+tarstarkusz The ISS was a tech failure? Ookaay..
+MMedic Yes. Most scientists agree, It didn't explode, but it's useless.
+tarstarkusz You left out record players for cars. LOL
+tarstarkusz Sounds like pretty short sighted scientists.
+DashCamAndy There's also the Titanic!
windows 8?
Haha even if it looks like a tablet OS is it still running very smooth.
Nils Andersson Ström Compatibility though...
MadGameCowe true but im still going with 8.1 on my new build. Most games and accesories are compatible with 8.1 and pretty much all future games and accesories will be.
too bad mine didnt install :/
Got an error trying to upgrade to 8.1...
MadGameCowe I had no problem installing it
Biggest tech failure? The new RUclips comment section
now the xbox one is better than the 2013 version
way better
Kevin Wesam yeah
Xbox one is best
k0d3star i agree
nah, PC master race
It was the LAUNCH for the Xbox one that was bad. Later updates definitely made it better. Let's not forget the backwards compatibility too
+Nano TheWolf I think this video was far to early to call it a failure, sounds really stupid since the Xbone is more profitable for Microsoft than the 360 was.
I don't know how good BC is on the Xbone but I'm keeping my 360 because some games will never be playable.
You know this made in 2013 You guys are dumb
+Adam2K .S yeah... Lol why you people hating oh wait this video sucks
or just get a PC and have backwards compatibility for everything
+Nano TheWolf the backwords compatibility shit is crap, they are releasing download games that dont even play as good as the original on the fucking 360, until they can fix those issues, i cannot say that its compatible
If Xbox one is really a failure then why does the people of faze prefer Xbox 1
I like PC. However, I have nothing against consoles. Honestly though, I'm not wasting my money for multiplayer on Xbox Live "Gold" or PS "Plus"
/r/montageparodies
who gives a shit about faze, its a group for call of duty no life jerk-offs.
wow thats brutal
but its true. =P
I don't think he should have talked about the Xbone, it hadn't even come out yet. It wasn't a tech failure as much as a company failure.
The Xbone?
Red Kell If you're too lazy to search it, then you would have been too lazy to reply. So my guess is you're trying to be ignorant?
Red Kell He means Xbox one.
flj7 I am being condescending and I own an Xbox one
***** If you're talking about the Video, then yes, quite an obvious, and irrelevant statement. Why do you even mention it?
In my opinion the biggest tech fail is Windows ME. It was so crappy and unstable that people who bought a pc with ME preloaded would buy Win 2000 alongside with it and install it on their pc. It was so glitchy, even the startup jingle could hang.
2,621 people are butt hurt Xbox One fanboys.
I am an Xbox Fan and I own 360 and I see PS 3 wasn't the console for me but I do agree with Austin :( Xbox one isn't the console I buy in 8th Gen, PS4 is way impressive hardware and tech , even in motion controlled games I think it will beat kinect 2.0 as seemingly not updated enough
***** how does that work if xbox ones specs are wayyyyyyyyyy better than the ps4
Sammy Striano Nope, it's reversed, they are close but PS4 wins in specs.
PlakieKaas But the game comparison
Sammy Striano What are you trying to say with game comparison?
It's pretty unfair to call something bloated just because it has higher system requirements. It's like calling a desktop environment bad just because you can run a window manager with much lower specs. All of that eye candy and extra 'user friendly' navigation features require better hardware to run.
you're correct, it's bloated because it's PC windoze
step out of the 90's
You're right! How's this. it's bloated because it's bloated. Simple as that.
And yet, it was still better than XP.
I don't think the Xbox One was as much of a tech failure, as a public-relations failure. I'm so glad they fired their public-relations guy and he is working for FarmVille now.
>Xbox One
>#1
>"Because DRM"
Yeah, this video isn't dated at all.
>complaining about 3 year old video being dated
conspiiracygaming >complaining about complaining
it was mostly a disaster because of the backlash to it
Chuckles Helicopter Wigwam Jones To be fair how could he have known things were gonna improve the way they did? Also, who gives a shit if he's complaining about complaining. Just because you complained first doesn't mean you're immune to criticism.
You forgot note 7
I bet most dislikes on this video are Xbox fans. Please listen, he is talking about launch only!
I'm watching this on a Windows Vista ._.
get windows 7 dude, it's way better
of course i am talking to the guy with vista :P
sorry about that
WHAT'S WITH THE RANDOM COMMENTS?!?!?!
***** Whats the point in buying windows 7?? its basicly the same as vista but looks a lot prettier, but that doesn't particularly bother me
You think these are tech failures? I'm wondering how you reached 1 million subs with videos like these.
Word.
Duh.
***** I have stopped watching :)
Jorge B. I was just thinking the same thing. Calling xbox one one of the top tech failures in recent years? Microsoft has always been iffy on presentations of new tech, but over time they end up being pretty good. I should start a goddamn channel. I'm sure I could get sponsored if this guy did it.
Edit: I just looked at his videos and he's been at it for 6 years. Wouldn't be surprised if half his subscribers or more subscribed then promptly forgot.
Mutantcy1992 Because XBox 900p at 60fps is better than the PS4 1080p at 60fps rite? Have fun starting your own channel you ignorant fuck.
Windows Millennium. The thing crashed on its own lol it was so unstable.
For all you Xbox One lovers, you just have to realize that it is basically Windows 8 in a box. A very terrible one.
PS4 IS THE BEST CONSOLE EVER.
pls thumb this up i wanna fight people.
Dude playstation sucks all your games sucks and are bland as hell. #NintendoFTW
+Rizwan Ayub Have fun playing GTA V and The Last Of Us on your Wii U, bro.
Dude those games are the same bland racist fps games plus I'd rather play good not bland games on the wii u like Splatoon, SSB4 and Mario kart 8 than you're stupid crap.
Pc master race
+LazyOtakugamer HD (Roynoris Senpai) board game race
The worst tech failure: Anything Apple
+Alejandro Muniz its all overpriced
but i could get a laptop with the same or better specs as an apple one for less price
+UnrealProductions Yeah, Apple is only #1 amongst all tech companies in terms of not just sales, profits and market valuation, but also product quality, innovation and customer satisfaction. Yeah... total failure :P Always trust some random idiot troll on the internet
+connor milner yeah thats true. But what would the build quality be like? The screen? It probably would get hot and loud by just opening a browser. The touchpad is probably small, made of plastic and overall crappy. The display probably low res and bad colors, bad black values. Overall it probably is made of plastic and if I lift it on one corner the other one hangs down like a pizza, that hasn't been in the oven long enough. And the battery life? 2 hours?
Don't get me wrong. Nothing wrong with preferring normal laptops over MacBooks. It is just that especially when it comes to laptops, that specs is not everything (in my case actually, it comes almost last, cause any specs I get nowadays will run my OS smoothly).
When people are dissing Apple Laptops it's always the same "I can get better specs for half the price". Yeah but can you get the same build quality?
true but thats mainly with the really low end cheap laptops the higher range ones are just as good as apple but lower price
Did anyone ever realize that the old Apple Maps logo had the marker going off of a bridge?
My biggest tech failure in MY opinion?
Google+
It WAS the least popular and least downloaded social network. Roughly around 2012.
That was until RUclips and some other websites started to grasp it around the near fall in 2013.
Now its the new facebook? What?
Somehow people let this slide, I made a huge fuss about it on multiple videos. Anyway, that is my story on the worst tech ever!
Chad Dwarson
OUT!
The Apple sigh made me lol hard! HAHAHAHA!
Xbox one is dying!
911
Wii U Wii U Wii U
Lol
Comedy gold :P
Great one. loved it😂😂😂
Thank you :)
+Explorer65 GENIUS
The biggest failure was probably the iPencil.
lol
It’s actually a great stylus
TheMidnightAssociation shut up isheep
TheMidnightAssociation I agree, but Apple should include it with their tablets and it should be less bulkier in my honest opinion. It should be along the lines of how the S-Pen is. Not exact, but it should be inspired from an actual pen or a pencil.
BleachBorg that was real?
You can't really call the Xbox One a tech failure when it's selling well.
This video is old dude.
I love xbox and i love windows8.
Damien Hartley Look! A Microsoft employee!
to be honest Microsoft makes bad products on purpose to promote the next, for example vista?garbage win7 amsome, win8 wtfh
Windows ME should be replaced with Vista
He is to young to remember that OS... THAT was far worse...
EliteGeeks
I noticed this too, how he's pretty much only going after tech that's within the past 7? 8 years?
Do you want to know somthing funny? Windows Vista can be upgraded to XP...
***** Well i talked about Windows ME not vista but still funny fact
from personal experience, I had a windows ME computer from 6th grade (when it was brand new) to the end of high school. I pretty much only used it for word processor and a few PC games I'd installed as I didn't have internet access at my house until college, but it always ran perfectly fine. Now, later in 2007 I upgraded to a Vista laptop and it was super buggy. A lot of programs would regularly crash. Granted, it could have been partly my fault as I did not regularly run driver cleaners or defrag, but based on that, I have to say that I think, overall, ME was probably better than Vista as a core operating system when compared based on the tech that was available at the times of their launches
Windows 8 is a failure
Yes! Yes! Yes!
No! Windows RT is a failure. If u don't know what it is, it pretty much a shittier version of windows 8. It comes from Microsoft still. Windows RT biggest failure is that is doesn't allow to run downloads. When u run for example minecraft that you downloaded, it says 'you can only run downloads from the store'. My laptop I brought was $400 and I can't do shit with it. Fuckin hell
***** I never thought there was a windows version worst than 8. Damn.
*****
yeah u are
SHUT UP apple fan and if you're sony fan vaio uses window 8 so fuck you
As much as I love Sony, I'd have to say the last 2 Xperia Zs... The Z4/Z3+ was plagued by overheating and wasn't much of an upgrade from the Z3 (really only "upgrading" the processor and removing flaps... Oh, did I mention it's battery was 200 mAh smaller than the Z3's). Then the Z5 launched and it was a great improvement over it's predecessor, adding a fingerprint scanner, using a processor that overheats less, and upgrading the camera (and a slight design change), but it took over a month to make it to most markets, which is fine,but even after it made it to the market,there was a lack of promotion and marketing... Then to make it even worse, it didn't show up in America until 5 months later and ditched the fingerprint scanner when it did come to America. Not to mention, there was absolutely no promotion for it here, no carriers wanted it, and they wouldn't bring the phone everyone wanted over (Z5 Premium). Now you have the new X series which doesn't go on sale until summer time.
I got a VCR player in the loft that looks like an xbox one..... only different at least my VCR doesn't break down and have annoying 10 year olds on the other end screaming at me...
The xbox one never crashes for me
egil larsen or good model
I like playstation , but no way was the Xbox one a failure. It might have sounded bad at first but it's a pretty solid console now.
He meant before it was launched. Before it was launched it sounded really illogical to even own. Like some of it was like this: Must log on everyday, need wifi, can't use used games, disc only works with one console, etc.
Not better then the ps4. Just throwing your money away really when you buy an xbox one. Because the ps4 is 100 cheaper then the xbox one. And also. It's 50 dollars a year for online on ps4. And 60 dollars a year for the xbox one. And not only that. The ps4 runs in 1080p. Well the xbox one is running in 720p. So really. It was a failure. Go by the facts and stop throwing away your parents money.
RcaMan100 it's been at 400 for the longest time now lol and I'm pretty sure they cut it to 350 for the holidays. Plus, unless if you're playing on a tv screen bigger than 32" you won't notice the difference between HD and Full HD ;p
Matthew H
I use a gaming pc I don't use console. just saying.
Justin Osagie
Same but on my PC (Because I have smartphones,tablets and consoles (not xboxes)) I play with an Xbox ONE TITANFALL LIMITED EDITION Controller.
Ummm the first one...... it isint out yet, so technically not a faliure yet, would love it if it launches off and is successful cause sony needs competation.
The point is that when they announced the first prototype it was a disaster, to fix most of the things that were wrong they practically had to remake it. Which they did making it into a solid competitor. Many companies make mistakes, Microsoft were quick to realize they have made one and fixed it before launch.
Biggest tech fail iPhone X, whach the unveil, face id took 3 tries
Windows Vista isn't that bad, to be honest (hell, I'm typing this comment from a Vista machine!)
Windows Millenium Edition was way worse.
Buggy system restore, Blue Screens of Death when you plug something in, no BIOS and in general - just a very slow and clunky OS.
why are you using vista? its a big and slow like an elephant.
No it's not. Runs absolutely amazingly on a PC from 2003.
Haha, my old PC has Intel Pentium M 1.73 Ghz with a 128 MB integrated video card. (more like video chips lol)
Haha, give me that computer, I bet I'll have fun there. :D
I've used worse computers.
Without a doubt the Virtual Boy from Nintendo. The moment I saw it I was like they cannot be serious.
You made my day with that xbox one failur.
I remember when apple maps made me and my mom go down the highway for 2 hours and it kept telling us to turn left. into a barrier
The worst failure is pewdiepie that's my opinion but tech wise it's I dont know
We have Fnaf, anime, most popular gaming RUclipsrs, etc
I stopped the video when he listed the xbox one. Listed something as a failure that hasn't been released yet is stupid. Even worst is that is #1 on this list.
well they did say that xbox was for tv like about 20million times we want games not cameras that can stay on 24/7
ConnerSuper No reason to call it a failure. Just poor marketing from Microsoft.
drink15 .... it wasn't poor marketing they intended to realease the system with entirely diffrent features. Literally the only reason that console exists is because they back pedaled hard. Hell 99% of the hardware and infrastructure was designed to support specific features that aren't going to be implemented it's a monstrosity of patches and unused features. The PS4 alternatively, launched in the way it was supposed to, it has all the features it was designed with.
BG213121 nevertheless, still can't label it a failure yet.
You can't pretend that the original xbox idea didn't fail. It did, the console they are going to be delivering is different entirely. That's what I was rationalizing in my argument.
apple maps is shit. I tried to get to the cinema, but i ended up at sobeys...
Dogepocalypse Where do you live as sobeys is in atlantic canada im from saint john nb
Watching this in 2018, I really wish he still did these top 5's
Anything Apple, dont tell me how to use my tech. To make any Apple worth using you need to Jailbreak it and then you have all the forced proprietary cables. To top it off they over charge. You would need to pay me to use any Apple product.
How can one of the biggest products ever sold on any market be considered a failure? Apple devices have flaws, with updates breaking apps, cables having on-board computers dedicated to coding and decoding thunderbolt-to-HDMI things because thunderbolt is too weak to handle HD resolutions uncompressed (it compresses/uncompresses into H.246 codec or something causing a loss of quality and compression artifacts) and also all their cables are extremely short and they tend to fray and break apart after extended use. Bending phones. Still, they are definitely successful products.
Zadamanim WRONG again Apple sucks
CostFrostPlayz™ • SG & Montages no u
Zadamanim no I what? exactly apple phone users are either considered (bad boys) for no reason, or classic white girl going to starbucks.
CostFrostPlayz™ • SG & Montages no u
How in the fuck is Vista listed as a bigger failure than Windows ME? This "top ten failures" is ignoring major tech failures from the past. What about the Atari 5200
The atari systems were the greatest thing to humanity since TV...
Not the 5200. That was a load of crap.
no i dont know about that i have them all and there all very good
Besides your opinion on how good they all are. The 5200 was a huge commercial failure. The Atari Jaguar CD may actually have been a bigger commercial failure and tech failure though.
I have a windows vista.. But it runs fine to watch this video. So I Don't care about your opinion.
But i do have a windows 8 laptop but it's as bad. It ain't made for gaming.
The ignorance
NutkeyDoesMinecraft It is made for gaming though..?
No not at all... It has a graphics card that can't even run space enginneers on steam...
NutkeyDoesMinecraft Why are you commenting? This last comment is so ridiculous. The hardware of a computer has absolutely nothing to do with the Operating System used on it.
Austin: whats the biggest tech failure?
Me: you
lol, I love how he claims the Xbox One is the biggest tech failure multiple months before it's out. That's just unfair, you might as well claim that the Steam Box is the worst console...
But it's not, we all know that. Xbox One had terrible PR and extremely bad reception amongst the media and the fans, the only reason it's still got decent sales is because of their U-turn.
But still. He claims that the Xbox One is THE BIGGEST failure... and I can assure you, there have been bigger failures than Xbox One
Yes, but Xbox One was hyped so much to the point that everyone expected it to end all console wars.
But it was, so shut the fuck up.
Xbox One was not a failure at all. In 24 hours it sold a million copies, same as the PS4.
wii mini... no internet aand no gameCube stuff
Yea, that probably should of been on there...
definitely. i haven't even seen it in the stores. probably because it sucks
nmc8300 I have lot's of times. It's only in Canada though.
DragonFireXY liar. I live in the u.s and ive seen then in Wal-Mart
Dawson Depetris Maybe it changed?
How the FUCK was Virtual Boy not on this list?!
i know right
Hey... Goiz... This. Is. Auzztinnnn...
Windows Vista isn't a gadget... and you're judging the Xbox One before having ANY information on it. I haven't watched the whole video, but I'll take a guess that you start talking about DRM blahblahblah, PS4 had the same DRM plans, they just played off of Microsoft announcing it first, and decided to reconfigure the whole PS4 and never announce it, You know very little about technology, so I don't understand why you're making videos about it.
Where PS planning on still allowing you 5 copies of a download as it is on the PS3?
And you can talk?
tech doesn't need to be gadgets
Maybe dont judge before you actually watch the whole video. If you had time to comment, you DID have time to watch the video.
PS4's D/load policy anyone?
Windows 8.1 is the worst
Windows 8.1 is awesome if you de-metrosexualize it. Chop off the gayness on it. Solid.
its actually a really good OS . i mean they have tried to do something that now one has tried to do yet!. make a computer OS that will work well on touchscreen and non touch screen computers... I know several people that prefer it to Mac's admittedly they all use touchscreen laptops. some even prefer some of the "metrosexulized" apps as you put it. for so many reasons it's one of the better OSs they have released. the footprint is small. It's simpler to use. it way more intuitive. That is if you're willing to let go of the old and embrace the future.
I'd agree OderBang. However, It's targeted by design at the touchscreen/tablet market. It's horrible if you don't have a touch screen. The intuitive part is for swiping/sliding your fingers across the screen, NOT using a mouse/keyboard.
***** i dont agree, i got windows 8 on 2 non touchscreen pc's and its way better than windows 7.
i like the new metro home screen and just everything
5 minutes of testing? Excuse me? I am a Microsoft Partner... I have 5 copies of every single OS they make including things like Visual Studio etc. I think not sir. You're talking to a 17 year veteran in the computer science and technology industry. ;) I'm not talking out my ***! Like I said, it's perfect on a tablet/touch screen. No one I know or talk too... appreciates the "metro" apps they provided/forced upon us. They like what they had before. Yes the performance is MUCH better I do agree with that 100%. I run it on ALL the computers in my home *5* and I'm very happy. The only device it's not on is my Son's iPhone. I own the Windows Phones also. Nokia Lumia 1020 for home, and 925 for work phone... Seriously, I just don't appreciate the new interface. And that's preference, and my right to disable/change it. I don't have to live with though. ;) My opinion and preference are mine. ;)
sony's servers which are never online. The worst part is that you are paying for be able to be online to the PS4 network. Next after that EA servers.
Yea
+Xeoroux all console graphics suck
I'm watching this video on my ps4 with PSN on those servers the "never"work. Swing a and miss troll
iPad 1st gen initially was a failure too since they stopped upgrading iOS up to iOS 5 when Apple could have upgraded it for iOS 6 and iOS 7 as well, and didn't had a front facing camera to add FaceTime in 2011. But after the iPad 2 the rest of the iPad became one of the best selling tablets ever.
Isn't Google Maps still available from app- store?
Yes, but that app came MONTHS after apple released Apple maps! In the meantime people had to use the mobile Google maps site, which was kind of a disaster in its own right.
Ignaz Kevenaar Let's not forget why people had to use that site in the first place (twofold because Apple Maps sucked and because Google wasn't allowed to have their Maps on the App Store, both of which are Apple's self-caused problems)
Caleb Roenigk don't forget though, the maps app in iOS has always been an apple developed and provided app, the new one included flyover and turn by turn and most importantly vector graphics to reduce the data usage when in maps mode.
The agreement between apple and Google for use of the dataset did not include turn by turn so in order to include turn by turn mapping apple had to do one of two things
1) change their agreement with Google (which involved including a Google login into their apple maps app a condition which Google knew apple would not agree too)
2) Get a different dataset (which we all know is what they did)
And Google were not prevented from writing a maps app, they didn't need one as apple did it for them in the first place and they were too complacent and didn't expect apple to end their old deal early (12 months early in fact)
They wanted a maps app made by them, then they got it when they changed their TOS and apple could no longer have apps that interfaced with there data, case in point: RUclips. Apple didn't allow ads so Google finally told Apple they couldn't do it. Same with maps, Apple wasn't trading GPS data with Google as they liked it so they made Apple remove it.
Google+ yes ...
Extreme failure, I mean seriously, when did they take there product off the market? Never.
How can xbox one be a failure before it's even released?
it's been released for 1 week. And the ign reviewed it. The whole this was bad
GModTrolling I was talking about when this list was created, not the current date. He had no idea if the Xbox one would be a failure. Sure it failed at many times pr wise but this list was about tech failure.
Yemto NO! WE ALL knew about it's failures before. With the whole DRM, failed conferences, awful prics, 720 p etc
GModTrolling I still don't think it should have made the list, since it wasn't officially released.
Because its launch was really bad and a massive PR failure
3 things certain in life
1. Death
2. Taxes
3. HEY GUYS THIS IS AUSTIN
The title of the countdown does not really match the content. This countdown says the Xbox One is basically the worst tech product ever made... Maybe they announced and introduced it lame, but I can think of products worse than the Xbox One. I mean, you gotta say... I think things tablets they needed to discontinue after 6 months because they have the worst specs and could barely compete with the iPad, are worse gadgets than the Xbox One. NO I'm not an Xbox fanboy: I like the PlayStation 4 better than the Xbox One, but in my opinion, this doesn't make good sense.
Correct me on any English failures, I'd like to learn as much as possible. Thanks!
Plus this video was posted nearly 6 months before the console was ever released. He refers to the console's reveal as the console's "launch."
But why does that make the whole console the biggest tech failure of all time? Because the launch is not the product itself
Funny thing is, Ipad is better than the other tablet except one thing. Samsung now has the best costumer satisfaction. Performance, simplicity and such the Ipad wins.
Yeah, i just read it in the newspaper, Ipad wins in every category except for costumer satisfaction. I don't get why it does not loose in performance/price though.
Am I the only one that thought that guy was Kenny from 'We are the Millers'?
yes but Kenny has annoying eyebrows
And still people don't realize that you can actually take off the kinect...
But your still paying 100$ more for the kinect and if your not gonna plug it in then it's just gonna be a waste of money
Then why would people buy it if they're gonna justify it with sometghng they don't even want in the first place?
And there's the reason why I NEVER buy anything day one.
thats true
I wouldn't want to pay an extra hundred dollars for something I never use.
take a shot every time Austin says "flat out".
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was a big flop due to exploding batteries.
this video was uploaded 3 years ago, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was released 5 months ago.
i dont understand why everyone bitches about price. its only $100. its the same price as last gen, and i dont remember anyone bitching about the prices as much last year and the ps3 was $600 for the bigger model
Doesn't matter, it's still more expensive than the Ps4 and worse, so...
who cares if it's more expensive
Because when the PS4, pretty much the same console except a little better in pretty much every aspect costs less than it, why would anybody pay an extra 100$ for something that is slightly worse? Also if cost doesn't matter why not just buy a PC, literally better at everything but with a heftier price tag.
i think you mean pc is worse in every way. I gamed on a pc maybe 3x in my life and can not stand it.
Better/more titles, better/more control options, better game prices, better graphics and performance (assuming you have a capable computer), it can be used as a pc (obviously), the list just goes on and on. I guess I can understand some games feel better on the couch and with a controller but you can always hook up your pc to your TV and use a controller to your liking. It's okay to not like pc gaming but you can't really deny that it outclasses consoles in pretty much every way other than price (although you can argue about price since it's an actual computer too, not just a gaming platform)
The wii u is way more of a fail than Xbox one
Peter Clifford that's what sales numbers indicate wii u is a decent sized flop for Nintendo. The company is slowly choking itself out of the mainstream market
Peter Clifford coming from a company that sold most of the consoles last generation
You have to remember this video was made almost a year ago, this was at the time Microsoft was vigorously fucking over the Xbox One with "features" that made many want to boycott the Xbox outright.
The Xbone is actually selling very well, they're not too far behind the PS4 in sales. The real damage is to Microsoft's reputation, not their sales.
I never said the word "success" to describe the Xbone, I just said the Xbone is selling very well, at least here in the U.S.
My list of Top 10 Tech Failures :
#10 Wii U
#9 Ouya
#8 Windows RT
#7 Surface Laptop
#6 iPhone 7
#5 Xbox Kinect
#4 Modular phones
#3 Galaxy Note 7
#2 Apple Watch
#1 MacBook Air (2016)
its such a bad failure it took me 5 mins to remember the name: ZUNE
I actually used to love my Zune when I was in AIT in the US Army. Had plenty of space, a good High Res touch screen, and I didn't have to have apple itunes installed on any of my devices to use it.
*****
Very true!
how is the xbox one a tech failure? it isn't even out yet. yes they made a lot of mistakes and i prefer the PS4. you cant call something a failure if it hasn't even launched yet.
Well yea i mean if apple told you that the maps where gonna be fucked up before it come out then you would know its a failure just like Xbox said all that was going to be on there system BEFORE it come out. Get it?
One word: Bandwagons.
starkiller18 It is a failure. The original design and all of the hardware were chosen for features that aren't going to be implemented. The concept failed, and if you think that a system designed to run with specific content that is not there anymore is going to work well... pffft hahahahahahaha. The PS4 was designed and built to be what it is currently the xbox one is a backpedaled patch fest.
Consider the day this video was made. That was before Xbox One became the new Xbox One Eighty. That name is called by some people for a while only for that week it changed.
Xbox One intended to force players to go online daily and there were many flaws. Xbox One Eighty deleted many of those problems. Now we just call it Xbox One and forget stupid idea ever happened.
BG213121 It's an everything machine making the thousands of dollars you've spent on a computer or blue ray just got wasted... > - >
Which is why I don't like it as well.
Why isn't iTunes Ping on this list? Lol
9,600+ Xbox Fanboys&girls disliked this video.
I just bought a windows vista... what a mistake.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
oh shit !
The xbox slim it was terrible I give that console a 2/10
PS3 Slim is even worse. No backwards compatibility whatsoever.
noobs! ps4 was way better than the gaybox one
Kane Hunt lol have you even played it?
Kane Hunt Ok you ignorant peice of shit tell me why you think the xbox is better
Gaystation
nelsonkai Gaybox One that's what they where going to call it because it is so gay
nelsonkai Microsoft is not for gaming play station 4 is better
The biggest tech failed should of been the explosion
