Having purchased both, I was initially shocked at the way MS were directing things and thought I would end up mostly on PS4 this gen using my Xbox occasionally for the exclusives. In fact, it's the opposite. The X1 has had so many good exclusives and the multi plats have played just fine too. I still consider my PS4 for the exclusives and when a multi-plat game is noticeably better but that's it. I feel MS have seriously turned the X1 around and it's by far my favorite platform atm.
Unfortuantely people feel the need to resort to bashing the platform they don't own and as the PS4 has had the greatest/immidiate uptake, it's defaulted to the majority of people/media bashing the opposing platforms, one of which is the X1. And yes, it is the media too. I will never forget Gamespot's article about how poor the X1 was. Only 1 out of about 15 staff actually owned one and of those that did not own one, they had the nerve to complain about things like 'Settings is impossible to find', when in fact all you needed to do was press the Menu button on the controller.
Personally, I am glad we have sites like Digital Foundry comparing platforms and constantly shining the spotlight on weaker platforms because it encourages competition the next time around. In my opinion however, power is the only thing the X1 lacks (and the gap is not as larage as some would have you believe). Being a proud owner of both platforms (yes, both X1 and PS4 are good systems), I prefer the games, OS, features, controllers etc of the X1 (the PS4s extra grunt cannot be ignored however). With that in mind, the X1 definatly should not receive the slack it gets.
