Microsoft Xbox One

If you want a pure game system, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 are in a dead heat. As a media streamer , though, especially if you subscribe to cable or satellite service, the Xbox One is a better bet.
Pros:
  • New interface is intuitive and accessible
  • Powerful hardware
  • Incorporates live television with OneGuide, HDMI passthrough, and USB tuner supports
  • Limited Xbox 360 backward compatibility
Cons:
  • Kinect integration and voice commands have been de-emphasized to the point of almost being completely dropped
  • Current backward compatibility list is very small

Microsoft Xbox One Review

If there's one word that defined Microsoft's approach with its Xbox One when it launched in 2013, it was "disruptive." The new hardware challenged our notion of what a video game console could and should be, for better and for worse.
Pros:
  • Powerful OS is user-friendly and built for seamless multitasking
  • Kinect v2's well-implemented voice recognition is a new "button" for your controller
  • Improved internal hardware translates to smooth game performance
  • Cable box interconnectivity is great for TV watchers
Cons:
  • Limited
  • occasionally non-intuitive voice commands
  • Bulky
  • hefty form factor
  • Snap same-screen multitasking is debatably useful

Xbox One Review

It's fair to say the Xbox One hasn't had the easiest introduction to the world. At its announcement it was derided for a host of deficiencies compared to its big competitor, the .

Pros:
  • 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.
Cons:
  • 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
  • The Kinect's legacy is still a blemish

Excellent price for Xbox One Elite but when my son tried to play a game on it for his birthday nothing happened. Got in touch with the company wanting exchange and they just said get in touch with Microsoft as its under warranty, not good enough.
