People that don´t use the Kinect and complain about the UI I can undertand.

You guys are doing it wrong.

As much MS changed the console throught out the year the fact is that browsing using the controler pad is one decade behind touch screen, and it can´t compete with mouse+keyboard on PC.

Selecting your option item by item is slow no matter what Sony or Microsoft do. Voice comands (specialy if they are natural language) are a welcome feature that I hope it to get more atention.

IMHO Sony financial woes have tied their hands hands this 2014, they basicaly wasted their momento from last year DMR/Resolutiongate. Going into the second year none will talked about how evil Microsoft was with the TV,TV,TV and 24h online check.

MS did it wrong, by creating a UI which tried to make a peripheral device essential to its operation.

The only buzz MS has going in to 2015 is dumping kinect, dropping the price, and Halo MCC. And none of that has really got people excited other than Halo fans. People bought thses consoles in 2014 with expectations that 2015 would be a delivery year on new gen only games game excellence. Both companies have much to prove and need to deliver next year.
