J4MES OX4D 10,041 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Apparently Xbox Live has been down ALL day and people who have received an Xbox One for Christmas can't even play games offline because of the day one update! Is PSN still down too? Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/2085-christmas-is-ruined/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've always given a heads-up beforehand on their future attacks and have pretty much always been successful. The only one time they didn't carry out their claims was Advanced Warfare Day Zero probably because they were too busy playing the game! Twats.

J4MES OX4D 10,041 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 This must be a humiliating situation for Microsoft and their brand of so-called 'elite' servers. DDOS is extremely hard if not impossible to prevent but it's how companies prepare and manage such situations that matter. I'm willing to bet that most worldwide banks at some point get attacked this way and it wouldn't surprise me if some are being DDOSed 365 days a year but it's how they branch out information flow and connection data that prevents such overloads. The Xbox Live network is probably at minimum data capacity seeing that they've barely sold 10m units of the One and the 360 community has waned of late so them getting hampered this way with such a low personnel-flow just shows that their Azure breed of servers are pretty worthless at current capacity or standard. If they can't cope with the current traffic influx of human and manipulated data; it's not really going to bode well for the future.
