Could be fake, but.... (XB1 engineer talks)

Cloud computing, TV streaming with amalgamtion of services.  Frankly, I think MS's initial offering will be far from perfect, but I expect it to improve substantially over time.

Particularly for you, you're in the US correct?

Sorry for the late reply to this, Ive only just seen it.

Cloud computing isnt an advantage, because its also on the competition - http://www.polygon.com/2013/6/12/4424022/sony-shuhei-yoshida-says-ps4-cloud-computing-calculations

I live in the UK, where we already have really good TV functionality with Xbox and Sky. 

I see literally no advantages the One has over the competition or even the 360 itself.

Thats ok :)

Ahhh ok.  Yes I just saw that Sony has announced cloud computing calculations...a tad late to the party.

I think it rolls like this.  Sony made some funny jokes at Microsoft's expense to cover their own announcement that multiplayer will cost money.

As it stands, Microsoft has a once a day check in that can literally be performed with a mobile phone.  If you hate that, fine.

Outside of that, Microsoft at least matches all of Sony's features, and exceeds them with its TV offerings and Kinect.  Again, if you're into none of that, fine.

The real incentive is the apparently fantastic game sharing initiative for family and friends.  I say apparently because I fully acknowledge this needs a lot of clarification.

Then again, the Xbox ONE costs more money.  

So I think it comes back down to games, as of this moment, they have announced more, better looking games.  That may change between now and November.

I just think a lot of the Internet's reaction to the Xbox ONE has been ridiculous, particularly given it has predominantly been post-Sony's conference, and then mostly because of a series of funny jokes purely designed to cover Sony's negative announcement.

But then, the internet being ridiculous isnt unusual.
