Quoting from slide 2:

«Network operators that want to provide the best possible user
experience for Xbox One Users:
* Provide IPv6 Connectivity»

Gamers tend to be a demanding bunch. I can tell from a ton of forum
posts and such that a common problem of theirs is that the Xbox (360)
reports the «NAT Type» as being «Moderate» or even «Strict». If word
gets around in those communities that a reliable remedy for such
problems is to switch to an ISP that supports IPv6...

Kudos to Chris and Microsoft!

Anyone have any information on the PS4?
