1. Better exclusives in my opinion. I mean, Playstation 4 exclusives are not bad by any means ; they are actually pretty good, but they are not for me.

2. Integration with the cloud allows games to improve over time. For instance, in the near future, games can "outsource", if you will, effort required on the client side for physics to the cloud, thereby freeing up system resources. Of course, this does require an internet connection, but tell me this ; how many people do you know who do not have a basic high speed internet connection?

3. Improved community features. Getting banned for excessive swearing is great. It's one thing to swear once or twice, but swearing in every other sentence? No, that's annoying ad rude. Also, the reputation system sounds awesome ; you get paired with people depending on how good your reputation is. Want to act like a jerk? You'll get paired with them in servers then. It's kind of like a mirror.

4. People criticize it for a lack of particular focus for gaming, but I don't see the problem. Microsoft has just as much games for the Xbox One as the Playstation 4 does, but they are focusing more holistically on entertainment that Playstation 4 is. Is neither particularly bad or good? No. It really depends what you are in the market for, but I like the "all-in-one" approach that Microsoft is aiming for with it's Xbox One.

5. Again, people needlessly criticize the Kinect, but I don't see the problem. It's just a different way of playing a game. The idea that somehow games can't be good unless played with a traditional controller is ridiculous. I mean, Kinect games have been a hit or miss, but that doesn't mean the new Kinect has no potential to be something great. Even still, it functions great for voice commands if you learn to speak in a proper cadence.

Can you tell me about the reputation system? I've gotten my reputation demoted for merely leaving a game.
Is this going to an affect on me? I mean, with the release of a new console, there's always going to be those ass hats who will get angry at you for certain reasons unjustified.

@ToTheArkz

It will likely not affect you. If someone is demoted you for such a silly reason, it's likely they are trolling.

Good to know. Since the gaming community seems to be getting younger and younger, there will be a large influx of trolls inhabiting the online communities. While I'm planning on getting the Ps4, I still think that the Xbox one is a solid console.

Yeah. Those people demoting for no reason will likely be matched up with other trolls. So you won't have to worry about them as a normal player.

Maybe because it's frigging expensive?

2. Cloud sucks
3. "Rude" is subjective, thus it could be considered an unfair ban by some.
5. The problem isn't really the Kinect, it's the fact that despite it no longer being required there is no option to NOT get the Kinect.

1. Most of the games are not out yet.

2. Cloud computing is trash

3. You can get banned for swearing once, including in mature rated games. Ads on your dash board are annoying.

4. It's too pricey, and you can do the same thing on PC.

5. The kinect is a gimmick because it ups the price of the Xbox One. Although it is far more improved than the old one, I don't see many devs utilizing it because no one gives a crap about motion controls.

sure, it costs 500, but it levels out with an infinitely more powerful gaming pc when you count the cost of games

steam sales >>> psn sales and xbox live sales.

however,

steam sales >= e-shop sales (30 cents for super metroid. yus)

1. Most of the games are not out yet.

So? Games take time, which is why I kind of regret criticizing the Playstation 4 for it's lack of exclusives awhile ago.

2. Cloud computing is trash

I don't think you know what you're talking about; being able to outsource things like physics calculations to a remote server is awesome. That frees up system resources. Understand?

3. You can get banned for swearing once, including in mature rated games. Ads on your dash board are annoying.

No, you get banned for excess swearing.

4. It's too pricey, and you can do the same thing on PC.

So it's okay if a PC is all-in-one, but it's bad if an Xbox decides to be an all in one? I don't see why Microsoft can't try to cash in to an all-in-one market. If anything, it's probably more ideal someone buying an Xbox One than building a gaming PC of similar price.

5. The kinect is a gimmick because it ups the price of the Xbox One. Although it is far more improved than the old one, I don't see many devs utilizing it because no one gives a crap about motion controls.

Are you kidding? Kinect style games are huge at parties, they are big among older people. I remember reading how motion control games are being used to help those with Parkinson's...they do have their place. They may not be hardcore enough for you, but they are more relevant than you think they are.

1. You can't judge games that aren't out yet. The Wii U had a good amount of games for launch, unlike the 3 games (I think) the PS4 had and the Xbone had like 7?

2. That isn't how cloud computing works.

3. There are reports where this have happened

4. {C is far cheaper, and you can use it for far more things. I don't want to use a game controller to watch TV or browse the web.

5. The first kinect had issues detecting TWO people (I mean, the kinect 2 should be able to fix this), let alone four people. There was only one notably good game for the Kinect, Gunstringer, and even then it's just voice commands for any other game you may want to play(ex. skyrim, mass effect)

Any party games I would want to play are already on the Wii U, as you can play Wii games, and other previous console games on it (provided it's on VC) for nearly half the price.

Okay, but they look exciting to me so far.

"2. That isn't how cloud computing works."

You can't be serious.

"4. {C is far cheaper, and you can use it for far more things. I don't want to use a game controller to watch TV or browse the web."

A PC of adequate specs to the Xbox One is not "far" cheaper. And that's fine if you don't want to use a game controller for web browsing ; I personally like using it for the Playstation 3's iteration of Youtube.

"5. The first kinect had issues detecting TWO people (I mean, the kinect 2 should be able to fix this), let alone four people. There was only one notably good game for the Kinect, Gunstringer, and even then it's just voice commands for any other game you may want to play(ex. skyrim, mass effect)

Kinect games are still pretty big though, but I understand if you don't like them.
