I am actually inclined to agree with you! At the very least get a few more core updates out. Do not get me wrong, I adore what we have so far, but I am a complete elite fanboy and all I wanted was a remake of the 1984 game.
What we have now however is an acquired taste imo and ideally it could maybe do with a little more content before hitting the masses on console.
Well if it does come out on XB1 today, as soon as I get home from work I'm going to blow the dust off the silly thing, buy a copy of Elite, and partake in some mindless pew-pew
There's a lot to do first:

The game is scheduled for this summer: http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/04/elite-dangerous-xbox-one/
A PEGI rating does not mean the game will be on the market the following day.
This is a stark reminder of how digital downloads are killing the gaming industry. When you could only release on a physical medium the product HAD to be complete. Now, you can release with a "We can fix it later" attitude.
Look up Stronghold 3 and see what that mentality can do for a cherished franchise.

whilst I do not think FD will necessarily be guilty of this, I do intend to agree with you. So many games now are early bloody access..... hell just look at the steam sales. some games have been out so long they are almost in the bargain bin and yet they still have the early access tag.
I generally (ED was an exception) just wait for a game to be finished now before buying that way I will never get stung. hell, half the time it ruins a game playing when its half finished.
I do wonder how many of these "early access" titles will ever actually make it to full release?
that being said, as i said before, whilst I do not think ED is console release ready yet, I do not think it is half broken early access levels either.
for the record I remember saying to freinds ages ago (when I got my real xbox 1 just after it launched, complete with gorilla hands pad) that DLC and constant patches whilst nice in the short term was the thin end of the wedge.
10 years on and we started to well and trully get the fat end of it imo.... and do not even get me started on micro transactions... Again, something FD may be sniffing around with their cosmetics, but have not fully gone in to EA style yet.

Totally agree. We've gone from getting complete games to getting bug-ridden betas and paying full price for it, only for them to patch all the issues later ..if they can be bothered. (Not aimed at Frontier btw)

Expect it to be demo/pvp arena thingy for XBO, downloadable for free for XBO network subs.
Though I do already use the XB controller ,and i'm happy with that, is there any chance ED will support keyboard for the Xbox version?
I'm interested both because of ...well, chat ,as well as being able to map extra keys there. Not everything will fit the controller, not every function is needed that often

Yes like finish the pc version relesead in bared bones
Braben never follow that rule even when he was dealing with physical rules, even if it wasn't entirely his choice.
My understanding is that the XboxOne automatically supports a USB keyboard for any standard keyboard entry. It's also possible (and MUCH nicer than using the controller) to use SmartGlass for text entry in some apps. The Android keyboard just types both onto the SmartGlass and onto the Xbox at the same time. I have a feeling that the SmartGlass API is horrific though, as even Microsoft don't use it fully for things like their own CD Player. It's seamless for Amazon Prime though, so it'd be nice to think that things which can be annoying with a controller, e.g. panning/zooming the map, might be bolted into SmartGlass as an additional input type, or having a touchscreen Outfitting/Commodities interface rather than up/down/left/right/X/LT/AAAAAAARGH.
