  <blockquote><em><a href="#584174">In reply to Ron McMahon:</a></em></blockquote><p>As originally envisioned, the Xbox One had to be online all the time to work, and when asked about how this would work for people on a submarine, Microsoft's Don Mattrick&nbsp;told an interviewer they'd have to stick to Xbox 360.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.engadget.com/2013-06-12-don-mattrick-xbox-360-offline.html&quot; target="_blank">https://www.engadget.com/2013-06-12-don-mattrick-xbox-360-offline.html</a></p><p><br></p><p>It was only one of several launch-year gaffs that hurt the Xbox One early on. Oh, and Mattrick was forced out of Microsoft for this screwup. </p>
