Forums - Microsoft - So....I got a Xbox One

d21lewis on 30 March 2014

A lot of people will disagree and have the bulletpoints to back up their opinion but, like you, I'm enjoying the Xbox One way more than I expected to.

The PS4 was pretty hyped so when I got it, I was doomed to be disappointed. The Xbox One was getting trashed pretty hard so it turned out to be a better console than I expected. The only thing I have issue with is that the controller uses AA Batteries (I use rechageables and they haven't died yet...but still). It really is a well designed quality device.

The interface that I was worried would be overly complicated was really simple. One screen for my favorite apps, one main screen. One screen on the right for....I can't remember. I never use it. The controller feels great in every way. The more people try it, the more they'll like it.

The scren on the right is for adds by ms and sponsers, you might want to peek it every now and then. ofcoruse when something huge like titanfall becomes available it's advertized on the main screen but stuff like plants vs zombies I only ever saw on the right.

I agree. The PS4 is awesome and deserves all the love its getting but Microsoft partnered up with people since they couldn't make the games themselves. They know how to back up all of their weaknesses.

This is what is so difficult to articulate on forums to people that don't own an Xbox One, and particularly only own a PS4.

Both consoles are a lot of fun, but the Xbox One just feels like a better experience at the moment.

This could easily change with more features and games - I fully expect both consoles to look very different in 2, 4 and 6 years.

Who buys 2 of the same $500 console? lol

Anyways, it's a win for you though so congrats.
