PERFORMANCE AND EXPERIENCE: The Xbox One performance did not let me down. Games are loaded fairly quickly and it never stood long for Downloads. The console is SOOOO silent and the Blu ray drive works like a charm. Regarding the specifications of Xbox One, in my opinion there is no difference despite people saying that is "a landslide victory to PS4 for RAM" and other stuff. I am not a graphic engineer, but people love to speculate how PS4 has a "magically" superior performance. NOT TRUE, I played Fifa14 for both and there is no difference, and for the other games will be the same, if not now, in the near future.
GRAPHICS: That's the controversial part of the comment that complements the above topic, mainly because of confused opinion of other's regarding particular aspects. Let me explain. There are games that were designed for the same pixel fulfillment (1080 p NFS Rivals, Fifa 14 and NBA 2K14) for both consoles and there are some that were not (BF 4, COD Ghosts, Assassins Creed 4), so for the first 3, there are no differences and for the last 3, the minimum differences will disappear with time when both consoles consistently launch games at 60 fps and 1080p and, in a distant future, 4k ultra HD quality. So in summary, differences are almost imperceptible and will disappear after the launch era.
GAMES: That's a major factor that made me choose Xbox One. There are really great expectations for some games exclusive for Xbox One that I could not resist. Namely, Killer Instinct, Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Forza 5, Quantum Break and Ryse. The games that I have now is Fifa and Killer Instinct. Killer Instinct it has been so well designed that I am actually learning how to develop long combos because of Dojo mode. It is an approach of a fighting game that really teaches you go all the way and I am enjoying this. It is still waiting Fulgore to enable Arcade mode, but this mix of Beta test and actual game is still fun. Regarding Fifa, either you know or you don't know what I am talking about how fun this game is.
CONTROLLER: The controller of Xbox One is really great. People are even commenting that is better than PS4. I have used both and don't think there is much of a difference, I just like the Xbox One better by personal preference. But the most impressive improvement was compared to the Xbox 360 controller. I hated that controller, maybe because I had a ps3 and when I changed to 360 in fighting games I could not do anything, but when I used the Xbox One, I adapted in SECONDS. There is the matter that it does not come with built in batteries and that's a downer. But here is what almost no one is thinking, if you buy rechargeable batteries you gonna fix your problem forever. They cost 14 bucks 4 batteries with recharger and you don't have to spend 30-50 bucks with Microsoft's built in batteries. So there is my money saver for you guys ; ). It comes with mic headphones to talk on line, which I felt it does the job just fine. Oops, almost forgot. Did I mention you can navigate with your Smartglass app? Yeah you can, and when you have to type some message to friends, just use your keyboard from your smartphone, that is soooo neat.
KINNECT: This might be the main reason why I went for One and not PS4. I used to think it was worthless on 360, but the home entertainment synchrony is really the way of the future. The voice commands to navigate and get in and out of games without having to quit is next gen stuff that we saw in "Minority Report" or "I, Robot". You can snap and do 2 things at the same time and you can navigate without your controller using your voice. The self configuration was quick and precise for Kinect commands. The only issue is sometimes turning On, but that affects very little my experience. The navigation using Kinect added to the output port to switch to TV makes an "all in one experience entertainment system" that seems to perk people up, although I haven't connected myself.
But here is the Cherry on the top: GAMES COMES DESIGNED FOR IN VOICE COMMANDS. That's an advantage that you can attribute to a next gen console. In Fifa you can say "Pressure on the ball" and configure to be ultra defensive, change formation and make the players press who has the ball or whatever combo set up you want. There are several individual tactical voice commands that can save you miss a play while tapping analog directional to change your tactics. In BF 4 for instance you can say "engage" and your peers will literally "drop the bomb" with choppers and the whole Shebang. The last example is in Dead Rising 3, if your dog barks in the basement, the hordes of zombies will discover you and feast you to the bones. You're NOT GONNA FIND THAT IN PS4 games, even if you purchase the eye.
PRICE: That can be the only actual con of Xbox One. That's a little pricey. They probably should have it at $450-480 to make it reasonable, but Bill Gates is already giving money so maybe he does not need to fine tune the perfect profit ration by lowering the price and selling considerably more. But people, lets cut the crap that I want to wait to lower the price to buy a next gen VG. THAT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF YEARS, so be smart and use your amazon store card and pay within 6 months to go smoothly, but don't give me that bullsh*t of is too expensive ... If you don't like the game library that's acceptable, but frankly, if you don't study or don't work and had lots of money and free time, you might be able to purchase almost 30 games that are out there and play them until 10 more are launched spread this year, so good luck with your lack of option problem!
ONLINE FEATURES: I can say that paying Xbox Live (Please people, pay $40 her at amazon for Gold and not 60 someplace else) it works well and maybe doesn't have as much as free games as PS +, but it might have in the future, who knows? The other aspect that PS + have an advantage is the game streaming. Apparently you will be able to pay and access old console games and playing them by stream. However, my friend Bill will not watch that parade and do nothing to be part of it. That will probably be part of Xbox One any time now.
So, in summary its an awesome console, that is similar to PS4 with the advantage of having in voice commands in games and fun home entertainment control by Kinect. Smartglass is an app that makes even more fun and can save controller batteries while navigating out of games. The downers are the price and does not comes with built in batteries, that can be ameliorated by spending 14 bucks or less with rechargeable batteries + charger. I would only also purchase the PS4 if I had most of my friends with PS4to play on line with them.
I decided to get the Xbox One first because it seemed like it fit into my desires more than what the PS4 offers. While PS4 certainly impressed me with it's promise of great next gen graphics, it didn't really offer anything else compelling to me (right now) because I'm not interested in "sharing" gaming content socially. I'm not famous and therefore nobody I know would be interested in watching my videos (probably not even my friends who play that game). I don't have a Vita, so would have to pay a couple extra hundred to take advantages of the second screen features the PS4 offers. While some of the exclusives look really good, there was no launch day titles that really made the PS4 of a must buy on day one. PS4 looks really good, but I don't have any problems waiting to buy it.
However, the Xbox One really drew me in because of all the "next-gen" feeling features that it included. I'll go through each of those features and my thoughts on them now. I should say that I've owned the Xbox One for a few days now and put in about 40 hours using nearly off of it's available features.
Games: This is the main reason people get the new consoles right? Ok, so maybe that's not totally true for the Xbox One because of all the media features it includes, but gaming is still at the center of what this console is meant to do. So far I have Dead Rising 3, Forza 5, and Just Dance as my games. None of these games is far and away better than the previous gen, but it is noticeably better. I expected this though, because it's not like we are going from standard def to high def like we did the previous generation. What really impresses me is the amount of content (e.g. zombies) on the screen at once the Xbox One can handle. I'm easily steam rolling hundreds of zombies at once with no slow downs. This is definitely in my opinion the best launch exclusive game. Forza 5 looks great and feels next gen, but the game itself doesn't really draw me in other than just for 15 minute burst racing sessions. Just Dance is a bit disappointing, but that is more a dock on the game itself. The Kinect portion works fantastically from what I can tell. Which leads me to,
Kinect 2.0: Wow, what an improvement. The precision is fantastic for both motion and speech recognition. I honestly don't think it's misinterpreted any command that I've given yet which blows my mind compared to where the previous Kinect was at. I can't wait till more games tap into this feature more. This might be the biggest surprise of the new Xbox One yet. I'm glad they made it such an integrated experience and bundled them together. It truly improves the experience. Yes, they could have made the Xbox One cheaper by not including it, but then it wouldn't be nearly as great of a product.
Interface: This is the part that I think needs the most work. I'm familiar with Windows 8, so overall I think it looks great and navigation is usually straight forward. There are just some things that standout. First would be the friends list and messages. It's much harder to look at your friends online and read messages than the 360. I'm hoping this is fixed soon as it seems a lot of people are complaining about it. Also I think the "pins" could be done a bit better. Make it easier to arrange them. Sometimes it takes too many actions to get to popular games/apps. This is made drastically easier by voice commands though which I've started doing every time.
TV Integration: This is the feature that I'm still getting used to the most. It takes a bit of time to relearn a new interface and way to navigation TV, but so far I think it's a big improvement over my normal cable box interface. Navigation is super simple with voice commands and it's a lot more customizable for getting to my favorite channels and looking at the TV guide. My favorite part of this is probably the "snap" feature where I can watch TV, but split the screen with something else. This has worked really great for me so far. I do think it can get even better though with better content to snap to the side. I also think the audio streams need to be able to get controlled. Right now they just play over each other which can be a mess. Should have voice commands to turn some on/off up/down. My wife also hasn't had much difficultly transitioning to watching TV through the Xbox. She's to the point now where she likes it more because it removes a lot of steps we use to have to do with remotes and she likes the voice commands.
Design: I'll admit that I don't really care about this that much. Is it big? Ya, it's bigger than my slim 360, but it fits on my TV stand no problem and I don't expect to move it. I like the look too. It's simple which I like. It's super quiet which is the most important thing in my book after my airplane engine original 360. The power brick is on the outside, but I don't care. That's hidden from view behind my stand. It keeps the Xbox One really low temperature which I hope increases its lifespan.
Controller: The 360's controller was my favorite of all time. It felt amazing in my hand and it was extremely durable (I only broke one, and that's saying something considering I'm a notorious controller thrower). The Xbox One? I'd say parts of it are better and parts of it are worse. It feels a bit more like a toy than the 360. It's lighter and feels a bit more flimsy. Maybe it's not, time will tell. The triggers feel amazing, but the best upgrade is the thumbsticks. They feel great and are easy to use. I don't expect any thumb fatigue from these. Lots of people say d-pad is upgraded which I'd agree with, but I didn't really have any troubles with the one on the 360. My biggest gripe about the controller is piece of plastic that seals in the battery at the back of the controller. I don't think it seals tight enough and wiggles around slightly which bugs me. I also don't like having to pay extra for a battery pack and charger. The battery charge lasts a long time so far, but it better with the price that I paid for it. Better have a long shelf life or I'll be pretty disappointed. The controller is extremely responsive, but so was the 360's controller. I'd say overall I like the controller a bit less than the 360, but who knows if that'll change overtime.
Other apps: The selection of apps for the Xbox One is good, but not great. It has all the standard ones like Netflix, Hulu, but is missing my personal favorite from the 360, HBO Go. They said they'll get that eventually and it can't come soon enough (the main reason my 360 is still plugged into my primary TV). Yes, you have to have XBL gold to use these which is a bit awkward. But my question would be why would you have an Xbox One and not have gold? If you just wanted to stream then a roku is way cheaper and smaller. Xbox One is mainly for gaming and XBL gold is super integrated into gaming and is one of the best features about the Xbox brand. Like I said earlier I'm not that sold on "sharing" features so I don't really plan on using like the Twitch app. Overall, the current selection is OK and what's there works well. It just needs more. I will mention that I'm a big NFL fan and like all the NFL app integration into the Xbox One.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase of the Xbox One. It definitely surpassed my expectations for how good it would be right at launch. It feels like a next gen system not because of significantly better graphics, but more because of the huge amount of features that really seems to be pushing this console into the center of the living room and the future of gaming. The Kinect is great, the HDMI input feature works well, and gaming is great to boot. It does have a lot of improvements that it needs. I expected this though. The Xbox One will only get better as they clean up some of the minor problems I had and once the gaming library starts to grow and there are more games that really make use of the better performance that the Xbox One offers. I'd definitely recommend somebody get this system if they have similar desires as I do for what they wanted out of a next gen console.
Pros:
+Kinect 2.0 is super accurate for movement and speech and offers great additional nearly all aspects of the console
+Games look great although not a huge improvement over previous generation
+Controller feels great overall
+Watch TV feature is a nice addition and really makes the console feel next gen and provide something totally new
Cons:
-Interface makes some features hard to get to and confusing
-Having to pay extra for controller battery pack
-System is still young and therefore not a large library of games
