The 360 was near perfect in every way as far as gaming functionality went.
I've had the Xbox-one for 3 days now. Haven't stopped using it, and here's my thoughts.
1. The multimedia functions are simply amazing. I used to have 4 remotes to run my system. Now I can control EVERYTHING via voice and gesture. I can't imagine going back to 4 remotes now. Seriously, if I say watch HBO it instantly turns to HBO.
2. User interface. It's a damn mess. Again it was near perfect on the 360 but now it's unnecessarily complicated. For instance, on 360 inviting a friend to a game was a 2 step process. Now it's so complex I need a god damn diagram.
3. The games. They are amazing. Dead Rising 3 is the best damn zombie game ever. Ryse, despite the reviews is fun and gorgeous. Forza 5 is the best racer ever. Battlefield 4 is having online issues but it will be patched later (typical for EA & Dice). Assassins Creed IV is the best in the series. Call of Duty Ghosts was a waste of my damn money. Killer Instinct looks great when my kids/grandkids play it but I suck at it. Kinect Sports makes my back hurt and Kinect fitness makes me want a beer.
Long story short this system needs some serious patch work to get the UI on par with the 360.
