People keep saying Xbox One has been doing everything right after launch... But that just shows how wrong the launch was. All those "right" Xbox One has been doing is just "copying" the competitor.
Removing DRM
Remove Kinect for price parity
Remove apps like netflix behind a paywall
Give free games like ps+
Remote control or streaming through windows 10
Sure they have improved their OS but this was inevitable after making kinect optional.
All those improvements it's not them gettinf better than the competitor but catching up the competitor.
Now Backward compatibility is totally them and deserve all the credit for going that way.

I guess you missed all those monthly updates that make every major PS update look small.  

Their OS is just fast now. Way faster than the competition and its predecessor. 

Like I said after removing kinect they had to improve their OS. But do you think "faster OS" sells a console?

DRM, Price, apps behind paywall, free games, BC, remote control, those are all the things that changes from Xbox One launch that you can count as argument to sell a console. 

And I also say that right now they are the one doing real BC. 

Xbox One has changed a lot but most of those changes are to look more like their competitor.
