Nice top 10. I sure could go for some 2 and 3. Especially 3. I use the PS3 for everything the PS4 can't do on that front (I have 3 PS3's and plan to buy a 4th), so it's not too big a deal for me.

Sounds like a PC does all of these things and more. And as long that is the case I wouldn't even get an Xbox if it was free.

There's at least 10 things the 360 could do that the One can't. Or the 360 did better.
Plus, the OS is still lagging and way too slow. They promised a fast OS that never lets you wait thanks to processor core and RAM just for the OS. But not really.
So no, the One isn't awesome yet. ;)

Make the thread!

I'd do it myself but I'm writing the "Why PS4 is awesome" thread right now.

What are some of these things? Honest question. Never used an XBO.

With reason #5 then the title should be "10 Reasons Why Xbox One 'S' is AWESOME"

Great list! I wish the PS4 had a better media support like the XB1.

"And even then, the amount of cloud storage is severely limited." that has been updated for a while now and we have 10gb for game saves.

I agree with all your points, I personally don't own a Xbox, by the way, the option to change your gamertag is also huge lol, it shouldn't be, but because of sony it is.

Anyway, I bought the PS4 at launch, because, it was the better console especially with how the Xbox was originally promoted and launched. Hardware Wise the PS4 is currently still the superior console. However, software wise and support wise especially with Backwards Comp working like a champ, and even improving many games.

It would be a difficult choice for me to buy a console if I didn't have one and the decision between Xbox One or PS4 would be close.

For me however, Next year I will enjoy all the console-experiences on PS4 and when the Scorpio Launches, I will switch from PC+PS4 to the Scorpio instead of upgrading my current PC. So I will join in all the good support you already have next year, but I am glad you are seeing (as many are) that Xbox is on top of support right now.

If they can get some of the Third party games (like NioH, Persona and stuff) on Xbox One and make some good exclusive deals and deliver with the Scorpio (which I think they will, since the amount of memory WILL make a difference, its proven on PC and whatever works on PC seems to work on consoles these days) I think Microsoft will really start catching up in 2017-2018

Do you really want to use all of those remotes for your TV, stereo, set top box, etc?  Of course you don't.  If you have an Xbox One S or an original Xbox One with Kinect, you can control all of your devices with your console.  Want to turn your home theater volume up, fast forward your recording , or change the channel?  It's just a button press or a voice command away.  It's not uncommon for me to say "Xbox, watch HLN" without even looking at the console or peeking my head out of my blanket. Nice little bonus.

 

But fuck them for not having HDMI CEC support. It's 2016 for fucks sake.

 

Ps. I do really like my Xbox One S though.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
