This more affordable Xbox One bundle drops the Kinect and matches the price of the PS4. Microsoft has also killed the paid Xbox Live Gold requirement to access entertainment apps
Microsoft's Xbox One offers impressive graphics and a solid list of exclusive 2015 titles. The Microsoft console currently edges ahead of the PS4 with a better selection of media apps. The console's fall-2015 dashboard update is a noticeable improvement

The editors didn't like
Higher price than competing PS4
Partly because Kinect 2.0 is included
Potential heavy-handed game trade-in
Sales restrictions
Requires cloud "check ins" to keep operating
Most apps require Xbox Live Gold membership. Between voice and gesture commands – there is a lot to learn. No direct support for your cable's DVR system. Controllers require AA batteries. System heats up in use. You can record gameplay
But only as video
Party Chat only holds 7 people and sometimes you just can't connect to your friends party chat
No alerts for friend requests
No built-in network video streaming functionality to play video files elsewhere on your home network
Workout video offering in
Case is boxy
Heavy
And about as big as the original Xbox
Many launch games don't pack much of a visual punch
Controller still uses AA batteries and proprietary headsets
Voice commands fail a good 10 to 20 percent of the time
System requires incredib
Big bodied
With no up-front USB ports
Installing
Patching games is slow
Somewhat confusing
Ad-filled interface
No game broadcasting
Hard drive is not upgradable
Xbox Live Gold subscription mandatory for many features
The Xbox One's dashboard is still confusing at times and the PS4 generally delivers slightly better graphics and performance on multiplatform games so far. Selection of must-have titles is still weak compared to that of previous generation consoles
The Xbox One's new interface is still more convoluted than the PS4's. In general
The PS4 delivers slightly better installation times
Graphics and performance on cross-platform games. The Xbox One also lags behind the PS4 in its selection of indie games
Presentation doesn't look or sound like Jeopardy
Online multiplayer is a ghost town due to design mistakes
Overpriced when compared against other trivia games
No social integration
Xbox Live Gold is essentially a requirement
Bi
Bulky desig
Lacks TV DVR capability
Voice Commands
Some Launch Titles
Fledgling App Store
No backward compatibility or legacy game options. Voice controls and facial recognition aren't available on Kinect-less $399 version. Gesture controls don't work consistently. PS4's DualShock 4 is a better controller
Voice input still hitormiss. Does live TV but does not let you control your DVR. No broadcasting gameplay (yet). Rechargeable controller batteries an expensive addon
Not standard
Clunky TV integration
Uninspired design
Kinect voice commands are unreliable
Lack of App Channel content
$100 more than a PS4
Kinect as a game instrument remains unproven
Xbox Live is essential for most apps and functions
Launch lineup could have been stronger
Features may be overkill for some
No DVR control
Requires Xbox Gold membership to stream from some services
Some streaming services available on Xbox 360 not yet on Xbox One
Can stop playback to say “hi” to a new user that has stepped into the room
The most expensive console available
Limited selection of exclusive titles worth playing
Missing key promised functionality at launch
Kinect voice commands still don't work reliably
Navigating the console remains sluggish compared to the PS4
Still missing features from the Xbox 360 like system-wide game defaults

L'editor per i video registrati è immediato e potente. Skype integrato ha il suo perché. Con SkyDrive i contenuti salvati sono accessibili da qualunque dispositivo
Fra cavi, Kinect e alimentatore esterno, tutto l'insieme è ingombrante. Avrebbero potuto inserire una batteria integrata nel joypad, invece che vendere a parte il kit di ricarica

präzise, breite Unterstützung für Spiele, Bluetooth

Die Xbox One wird ihrem Namen prinzipiell schon gerecht, hat aber noch immer zahlreiche Kinderkrankheiten. Die Steuerung des Receivers ist vollständig nur über die SmartGlass-App möglich, was mich persönlich gar nicht weiter stört, da ich sowieso die App ...
