Well weaker hardware and lack of Japanese games or bunch of indies are a con a guess even though I don't care about those. In my country the biggest con is that it's not Playstation.. casual gamers etc won't even consider X1 and some of them don't even know what it is :S Most of my friends are Xbox gamers, but couple of them bought PS4 because "it's Playstation and more powerful" and now they're complaining they can't join the fun with us X1 gamers playing SW: Battlefront, Fifa, Gears, NHL an so on..

It has very few pros where it matters for competing ...

I agree with most of this. It's sluggish and still somewhat buggy. I shouldn't have to wait 3 seconds every time I want to snap out of a game.

Something inside my X1 controller is already broken. It still works but the right trigger feels funny. I have had 2 360 controllers and have had no issues ever.

I hate the UI and the console itself is indeed ugly and scratches easily on the glossy bits.

Also:

Many games can't even run at the native resolution of my TV from 2008 (1080p).

Certain games bog the system down to the point where I need to do a hard reset (black ops 3 being the worst offender).

I have to pay to play the thing online. This is and always will be a con on any system.

Its games just aren't as much fun as the exclusives PC or Wii U (I do like the MCC though) and unless a game is really buggy on PC there is no need for me to buy a multiplat on Xbox One.

It takes ages to boot up from a hard reset and as stated before this is a common occurrence.

Games need to be installed to play (it seriously felt next gen when I put a new game in my 360 and it just played), but the disc still needs to be in the machine.

500GB standard HDD makes the above point even more painful as games require up to 60GB to install.

Kinect sucks. It's been in a drawer collecting dust for almost 2 years now. Maybe it's improved though, I'll check when I get home.

None of my friends have one which is probably the result of many of the above points which means I can only play Wii U and PC games with friends online.

Many games run at 30fps which would benefit from 60fps. As far as I can tell this is due to the underwhelming CPU.

Apart from that stuff it's pretty good though.

Not when the AAA games Gold members get are usually games PS Plus subs already had months prior.  And Sony is having flash sales almost every week, with further discounts for Plus members, so not really accurate, either.

@ OP

Is this MS propaganda?  Any system has flaws, even the PS4.  The problem with XBO is it has greater flaws than the PS4, which helps make the PS4 the majority purchase.

The main one is probably weaker HW that launched at a more expensive price, and is now the same price as the more powerful PS4.  That weaker HW usually ends up causing games to have a lower resolution and/or framerate.  The PS4 also has a larger library, which will only get larger compared to the XBO, as some smaller/mid-sized devs will choose to focus on the PS4.  MS are milking its largest IPs, causing a dip in not only quality, but also sales.  And because of a lack of sales, MS is going to start investing in it less and less as the years go on, which means we'll probably see a repeat of the exclusives barren last couple years of the 360 for the XBO in 2017-2018. 

 In my book they're 1983 to 2008 games, not 2015, so they don't count in your logic  ~.^

Just to point out the difference in your considerations, I don't want to participate in the debate about exclusivity.

PS3 is a mess on this front. I usually kept trophies offline and just synched when I wanted to update to the site.

Care to give exemples?

xbox one has no cons, its perfect. just like the OP's abilities to properly form a paragraph.

GOD BLESS YOU

The X1 takes up more space.
