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

Abstract: When Microsoft launched the Xbox 360 eight years ago, it was "just" a game console that could also connect to the Internet to play online and download smaller games along with DLC packs. Oh, and it could also play DVDs (or HD DVD discs if you bought the s...
Kinect is a powerful UI Tool, Multitasking is fast and easy, Games showcase strong performance and increased graphical fidelity
Lack of App Channel content, $100 more than a PS4, Kinect as a game instrument remains unproven, Xbox Live is essential for most apps and functions
