the xbone's main advantage is the developers don't have to put in the effort of having a dedicated server.

..and that's something i care about why? what's the consumer advantage?

You care about it for a few reasons:

1. Xbox One games will run on the fastest cloud server on the market

invisible to me.  don't care.

2. You will not have lack of server bottlenecks and other issues you get when you have other companies running their own servers

i haven't had any problem on ps3 to date which is supposedly the inferior online experience.  again, don't care.

3. You won't have servers shut down for Fifa 2014 in 2016 when EA decides they want to save money

this one, however, is a good point.
