Well well well, where on earth do I begin how bad the console is.
Ok, let's start with price. Do you honestly expect something that's bad to be worth at minimum $500? Let alone $600 in other countries such as my own. No, something that expensive should be absolutely dazzling, not the hunk of rubbish it is currently.
Microsoft had the intention of making the DRM stick, if everyone online hadn't kicked up that absolutely massive fuss about it, it would've been kept forever. It shows Microsoft don't give a damn about us, they only took it away because it was damaging their sales so much it wouldn't be a profit. Them with that mindset of completely controlling us is not what I want to support ever, and thus, won't.
The price for spec ratio. Not worth it, simple as that. I can get a computer or laptop that is faster and has better specs for the same or less price that Microsoft are selling their new console for. Overpriced and underspec'd, completely not worth it in my mind.
Being made to purchase something you will not use and do not want, the Kinect. Myself and so many others, thousands of people, hundreds of thousands even do not want the Kinect yet we are being forced into purchasing the Kinect with the Xbox which is worth around $100-150 which we could spend on so many other things like games or completely unrelated items. At first you had to have it connected at all times, not they just say you can 'disable' it, which I hardly believe, because why would they continue to make you purchase it if you can switch it off and not use it? The Kinect can and I guarantee will be hacked, not just by NSA, but hackers who can easily and I mean, easily access your Xbox for whatever reason. People who are quite talented in hacking wouldn't have any issue finding a way to see what others are up to with the camera and/or microphone turned on. So don't say people are being paranoid over nothing, because that's a huge privacy issue Microsoft aren't dealing with.
Lack of decent first exclusives. There are next to no smashing launch titles that come for the Xbox One. You have Ryse, Forza, and maybe Titanfall, even then, Titanfall is heading over to PS4 and will stay there. These are hardly massive launch title exclusives, the PS4 has a huge amount more of great looking ones, and then a huge amount more of decent/ok ones. Unless you were some addict who had to try Forza for example because you life depends on it, then it may be acceptable, but even then it's ridiculous.
Hideous console design is another factor, you cannot stand it up at all while it's on, it has to be on a horizontal axis. For whatever reason Microsoft were stupid about their designing and made it an awkward thing to work around if your location of TV/monitor screen won't allow the console to be flat down.
Not backwards compatible, completely insane whoever that person was who made that decision. You cannot play the Halo 4 disc in the Xbox One, instead you have to repurchase it in the store and download it,. not worth spending money on a game that you already have and can't play on a 'next gen' console.
Concluding just some of my points, the Xbox One is completely and utterly not worth paying for, disregarding any one of the points I just proposed is ignorance and stupidity. I might just add I'm not supporting the PS4 either, even though it is better than the Xbox One, PC gaming is where you get your moneys worth and enjoy a lot more than these 'next gen' consoles that you seemed hyped about.
