The editors liked

  • Tracks a larger room area
  • Gesture control is more versatile
  • Better in uneven or no light
  • Improved videochat
  • 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
  • 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
  • Beautiful graphics
  • Great gameplay experience
  • Subtly redesigned
  • Extraordinarily comfortable controller
  • Blu-ray disc playback
  • HDMI input for pass-through from Freeview/Sky decoder

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
  • 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
  • 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
  • Menu system is an awkward mix of 360 and Windows 8
  • Space-hungry
  • Will not stand up on its end in ‘tower style'
  • Not compatible with Xbox 360 headsets
  • Some features currently missing for NZ users (voice commands
  • EPG)
  • Gold paywall
  • Controller still uses batteries
  • No OneGuide in UK

  • Its high price and imperfect voice control and TV integration keep the Xbox One short of must-have territory, but the inclusion of Titanfall for free (for new purchases) helps Microsoft's console hold the line against Sony's compelling PS4....

  • Play classic Jeopardy as well as other fun modes, You can play solo or with friends in multiplayer, Leveling system encourages players to come back for more
  • Presentation doesn't look or sound like Jeopardy, Online multiplayer is a ghost town due to design mistakes, Overpriced when compared against other trivia games

  • Abstract:  It's rare -- unprecedented, even -- that Engadget re-reviews the same product. But game consoles are a curious exception. Though the hardware stays the same, these machines receive myriad firmware updates, sometimes long after launch, that make them even...

  • Windows 10 makes the console more responsive and easier to navigate, Most backward-compatible Xbox 360 games run well on Xbox One, Now costs less than the PlayStation 4
  • Kinect voice commands still don't work reliably, Navigating the console remains sluggish compared to the PS4, Still missing features from the Xbox 360 like system-wide game defaults
  • In the two and a half years since the Xbox One first came out, it's become a fundamentally better product, thanks to last year's Windows 10 update which made the UI faster and easier to use. That said, the console is still saddled with various quirks...

  • The console is no longer the confusing, stark black box that it once was. Like all gaming consoles, you have to decide whether it's worth investing in for the exclusives and the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Program. I think that it is...
