TV

Even though Sony has the market cornered on the whole "for gamers
By gamers" phrase
Microsoft makes a pretty compelling case for the title. With more platform-exclusive games
An eye on the indie scene and its promotional Games with Gold deal
The Xbox
This more affordable Xbox One bundle drops the Kinect and matches the price of the PS4. Microsoft has also killed the paid Xbox Live Gold requirement to access entertainment apps
Microsoft's Xbox One offers impressive graphics and a solid list of exclusive 2015 titles. The Microsoft console currently edges ahead of the PS4 with a better selection of media apps. The console's fall-2015 dashboard update is a noticeable improvement
Robust internal specs
Oodles of potential
Improved controls
The Xbox One is a media powerhouse
Starting off with the new and improved Kinect and HDMI-in features. The new Kinect is a significant improvement over the previous iteration

The editors didn't like
Kinect must be connected to console
Not built into one
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
But we're not in love with the idea of monolithic system taking up a quarter of our media cabinet. The Xbox One is big
Bulky a looks like it was designed to replace the VCR
Not the Xbox 360. The controllers
Thankfully
Ar
The Xbox One's dashboard is still confusing at times and the PS4 generally delivers slightly better graphics and performance on multiplatform games so far. Selection of must-have titles is still weak compared to that of previous generation consoles
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
It's big. There's no question that Microsoft's latest box is a behemoth
Being larger than both its predecessor and its rival
The PlayStation 4. But that's for a reason. Microsoft has made sure there's adequate cooling inside
So there won't be any repeats of the Xbox 360's infamous Red Ring of Death. Still
You can’t help but wonder if it could be it a bit slimmer. It also comes with an externa
The design is big and bulky and hardcore gamers (and specsheet fanatics) may be disappointed that some games aren't turned up to 11....yet
Flagship features still have flaws
A big
Inelegant box
Flaws hamper every flagship feature
Big
Ugly box
Not the most accomplished Blu-ray player
Some games still run at 720p
Expensive
Small initial games catalogue
Inferior graphics
Confusing UI without Kinect
Poor sharing options
Ugly unit design
Gets hot
Separate power brick needs accommodating
You need to have the console on to watch TV using pass-through
Voice sometimes ignores you
Parents will need to keep a closer eye on kids
Minimal customization
Struggling to match the PS4 on raw performance
Big and bulky
Superceded by the Xbox One S with Project Scorpio on the way

Great Controllers, Kinect 2.0, Multitasking, HDMI Pass-Thru w/ TV Control, Some Great Games
Voice Commands, Some Launch Titles, Fledgling App Store
