Some games on xbox one also allow you to play as it downloads. That is up to the game though.
I love snapping an app. Ps4 doesn't have it.
External hard drive support. Ps4 does not.
I love how achievements show you exactly where you are with a progression bar. Ps4 does not.
I like how faster downloads are on xbox. Ps3 and ps4 are slowly. Tested this myself and xbox was always faster.
I love the media features. Something ps4 just got but xbox had it longer.
The support it gets and the feedback page. Again something so my just did. Playing the catch up game.
Dual WiFi antennas is a plus. Ps4 does not.
WiFi direct in controller. Again ps4 does not.
Xbox live better than psn IMO. (Remembering that hack)
Xbox live alsos you to customize profile and have a wall with posts and comments. Dunno how it is on ps4 since I sold mine months ago.
There are several more reasons why I prefer xbox but don't remember them now.

I haven't noticed a faster download on my xbone. Xbone is also snails pace slow at installing a game compared to ps4. Could have taken two naps waiting on sunset overdrive. I think xbone does most things as good as ps4 but the terrible ui kills it. I still to this day feel so lost every time I get back on it so I just stick to playing a game and that's it.

Please, PSN is still talking about adding folder updates in the future, while xbl is right now about to get Cortana making gaming a lot easier. No more going through a bunch of menus to get something you want or pausing a game. Just say "Cortana invite joe to my party".

For me the best function is playing ps4 games

When I get home tomorrow (and get some sleep), I'm gonna make a thread compiling all of the features of the big three and maybe even the Ouya. I'll post what I've used personally and if I miss anything, others can offer input as well.

Hopefully people will leave more educated. Of course, it somebody else wants to make it first, I am quite lazy!

Maybe he means 360.  The best I've seen on Xbox One is five mins for Sunset overdrive (before updates).  Ryse probably took six hours!

 

*edit* of he means downloading from the web and not install speeds.  Still, Titanfall took forever to download when I got it (day one). I couldn't even play it that day!

Why i left PC gaming

That play and go feature is also on xbox one. Was downloading Forza 5 and at a % (5?10? or20? not sure) you can start with the career and do the first career races etc.


Play GO also works with physical discs. In a minute or so, with some games even less, one can start playing. I hear it's not exactly the same situation with the XB1.

Sort of, you will need a Kinect. But these kind of things make gaming so much easier. Can't tell you how annoying it is trying to start a party in mid game.

Shareplay alone is miles ahead of what any other console is doing. Being able to jump into a friends game in seconds across countries is mighty impressive. It works great.

With newer games, it's faster but still not ps4 fast.  The fastest I've seen on xb1 was about five mins (Sunset Overdrive--and from what I hear, it's gotten longer since launch).  The fastest I've seen on ps4 was...... instantaneous (Onechanbara Z)
