That was awkward to read.

Thee points.
1) You can't combine awesome and fact. What makes something awesome is subjective - thus can not be a fact.
2) Voice commands are a feature of the kinect - not the xbox.
3) Several of these like "I have to manually download my save data" make it come off as INCREDIBLY lazy.

You mention it as for xbox one - but stuff like "4k-blu ray" is for xbox one S.

edit; So the title is for Xbox one S users with a Kinect.

That's actually a decent point...

So this list is actually people who own an Xbox One S, who also bought the Kinect and the adapter (since the Xbox One S doesn't have a kinect port)



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I made a list for that other console, too.  I added VR.  I can only talk about my experience.  I'm sorry. I'll edit the OP  :(

Eeehhh It's not a big deal. You included PSVR in the PS4 list and obviously that's also going to depend on the hardware you own.

It's not a Sony console and it gets exclusive game releases during holiday season ;).



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

I've had my gamertag since January 2007.

I doubt I will ever replace Xbox as my main console.

What awesome about PS4...

It needs only one reason and one reason to trump your 10 reasons.

1. The Last of Us Part II

Which is why it's only three pages long.

Sorry but if WiiU has no gamez, then XbOne game ... maybe



#1 is awesome if you enjoy even the occasional EA game. You can literally be paid a dollar by EA to try Access for a month any time an EA game releases that you wanna buy. The value is great. I look back on all the corporate apologizing regarding PS4 not having it and the doomsday fear about this ruining the industry on the Internets when this was first announced and laugh.

#3 is great too, I always use my Xbone for media because of this.

#4 is awesome. When I had to replace my Xbone I popped Fallout 4 in and it downloaded the last save I had on my other device for me with no input required. Dat cloud.

#7 is one of my favorite Xbone features. I use it less with Cortana because she is garbage, but it's still a good feature to have.

#8 is equally great and an incredible fan service for people who own the console or are thinking of upgrading. Plus they go a step further and make sure every 360 game on GwG are backwards compatible. Still loads of 360 games I plan on buying down the line to play on Xbone, like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. Almost pulled the trigger on LO for $9 today but got too many other games to play.

#9 I use this one less now too since I have disconnected my satellite box from my Xbox One, but I am thinking about hooking it back up. I got voice delay through my old cable provider. But I love snapping the achievements app while playing a game.

#10 I would replace with that sweet, sweet controller. Easily the greatest ever imho.

Nice list. A lot of these are why I use my Xbone way more than my PC, PS4, or Wii U.
