Microsoft's next-gen console isn't looking so good

A brand new report has appeared online courtesy of an inside source who claims that the Xbox One is encountering big problems due to the Live online service, the Snap feature, and the special ESRAM designed to compensate for the slower DDR3 RAM.

The Xbox One is set to debut this November and Microsoft has been hyping up its various features for some time.

Now, thanks to Twitter user Thuway, who claims to have backed up his claims with multiple sources, the Xbox One is currently experiencing a lot of problems.

First up, the Live online service is a complete mess and developers are forced to dial back the quality of the multiplayer in their games.

Secondly, the Snap feature, when used in-game to pin applications to the side of the interface, almost always causes crashes.

Last up, according to a developer, the ESRAM is causing plenty of issues and acts as a bottleneck for the whole console.

Microsoft hasn't commented on these rumors, so take them with a grain of salt.
