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

Will not stand up on its end in ‘tower style'
Not compatible with Xbox 360 headsets
