For the record it could be that the XBOX 1 will sell even better than the PS4 even with all of these flaws and that's probably what Microsoft is betting on. All this hate are coming from people who would buy it anyways.

At this point, Microsoft is running scared. They're looking at the possibility of Sony shipping 3-4 million units by Christmas while the Xbone might be looking at < 800,000 in the same time frame. This isn't even a sales forecast - it's a prediction of how quickly these companies can build consoles. While the console war isn't over right now, if this were to happen, then it
would be.
They can't even market properly because the people behind the scenes are terrified, and have no way of effectively communicating their ideas.
And this is the least of Microsoft's concerns. They still might have to finalize their hardware, they still don't have mature development tools, and all of the games are going to be behind. The Xbone's ship date might slip to December, while Sony is teasing at a late October launch.
Here's a good example of Microsoft's woes:
