Kinect must be connected to console

Gesture control still a novelty to many
"Xbox
Go home" voice command
Voice input still hitormiss. Does live TV but does not let you control your DVR. No broadcasting gameplay (yet). Rechargeable controller batteries an expensive addon
Not standard
We don't don't know about you

Not the Xbox 360. The controllers
Thankfully
Ar

The Xbox One's new interface is still more convoluted than the PS4's. In general
The PS4 delivers slightly better installation times
Graphics and performance on cross-platform games. The Xbox One also lags behind the PS4 in its selection of indie games
Hulking brute of a machine
Lack of killer launch titles
Eye-watering price tag

A big
Inelegant box
Flaws hamper every flagship feature
Big
Ugly box

Big and bulky
Superceded by the Xbox One S with Project Scorpio on the way
