  • Will require semi-always-online : You need to 'GO ONLINE' on your Xbox ONE (srsly, wtf), at least once per day for the CONSOLE TO WORK.
  • Xbox is now focused on TV and SPORTS! It's a SET TOP BOX NOW! NO JOKE! Called the 'all-in-one' entertainment system. Chances are you'll still have to pay to watch the sports and tv anyway...
  • There is ZERO innovation in the controller (Microsoft says it's more ERGONOMIC)
  • Still have to pay Microsoft every month to TALK AND PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS.
  • Kinect is still bulky and evilllll...
  • NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE WITH XBOX 360


MEANWHILE IN PLAYSTATION 4 LAND ALL IS GOOD
You are an idiot.

1. The Xbox One is not a bad name. Xbox 720 has always been the rumor of the next name, so they called it One instead which (IMO) shows that they're thinking outside the box more.
2. Who said it'll block used games? I highly doubt that.
3. Games will be tied to your account, but they will be on the cloud which is way more convenient.
4. No, they won't. AND you won't even need to take your disc over there! The games are installed on the cloud so all you have to do is log into you account on your friend's Xbox One and you can play. Don't have to re-buy the game.
5. Games will NOT have to be installed on the hard drive. They made that clear/obvious when they explained the cloud at the reveal. The games can be installed on the cloud which is a lot more convenient than the hard drive. You can also play them off the disc if you do not want to install them anywhere.
6. That is a false rumor. The Xbox One will NOT be like EA in the sense that it will always need to be online to work. That'd be idiotic. It will work offline.
7. They are actually focused on EVERYTHING. Not just TV/sports. They just didn't say much at all about gaming at the reveal due to E3 being like a month away.
8. HOW IS THERE NO INNOVATION IN THE CONTROLLER? They made over 40 changes to it! That's more changes than if you compare the iPod Touch 1G to the iPod Touch 5G! Idiot.
9. Xbox Live Gold is an amazing service that, yes you do have to pay for, gets all of the new DLC before ANY other console. The Xbox 360 got DLC months before the PS3 got the same DLC, which is one of the reasons why they have to charge you for Gold (they have to pay people to get the DLC before other consoles)
10. Kinect has been vastly modified and (while I agree that the 360's Kinect sucks) is now amazing. It links everything together and has a new skeletal system for a very enhanced experience.
11. THE PS4 IS NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE WITH THE PS3 EITHER

and finally, if you want to try to argue and say that the PS4 is going to be better, you have NO PROOF. The released specs for both the PS4 and Xbox One are practically the same. They both have the same processor, amount of RAM (yes, PS4 will have GDDR5 RAM compared to Xbox One's DDR3, but that's not much of a difference), etc. The Xbox One also has a LOT more features that the PS4 does not have; mainly the voice control/recognition and hand gestures that can let you multitask.
