Launching its next-generation gaming console hasn't come without a couple defective bumps in the road for Microsoft.
The Xbox One hit store shelves Friday, tallying stellar sales. Microsoft says it sold 1 million consoles in less than 24 hours. Less encouraging for Redmond: the terrifying grinding sound reported by some Xbox One customers after they inserted a disk in their new console. Some new Xbox One owners say their new machines are unable to read games or Blu-ray movies.
Microsoft acknowledged the problem to IGN, after that site reported that one of its consoles showed symptoms of a dead-drive. Microsoft says the issue affects "a very small number" of Xbox One owners. "We're working directly with those affected to get a replacement console to them as soon as possible through our advance exchange program," Microsoft told IGN. "Rest assured, we are taking care of our customers."
