Xbone revealed how his Gaming Experienced Changed according to Amazon Review
I'm really happy with this console since I bought it. I wasn't thrilled about being forced to pay for the kinect as i didn't think I'd ever use it. But I'm finding the more I use it, the more I like it. I really like you can use it interactivelly in game. Instead of using the comma rose menu in BF4, I can just simply say a command like "I need ammo, give me a ride, flank left. etc." to the kinect and my in game character will repeat it. It's a neat feature. Also, if you're playing with a somebody that doesn't speak english, whichever command you say into the kinect will be translated to the native language your reammates have selected on their system. That's really cool.. I strongly believe developers will continue to evolve and incorporate this into their games. This is mainly because the kinect does all the work. It doesn't take hardly any extra programming.

This is something that PS4 can't do nor may never do. The reason I say that is every xbox comes with a kinect (built in mic/camera) while the PS4 only comes with a headset. Now PS4 guys will argue they could use the headset mic, but not everybody uses headsets for gaming. I bet 50% of gamers use tv speakers or surround sound speakers. So there would be no way to communicate via mic for those players without buying some type of periphial device.

Now I will say the PS4 has a litte better graphics than the xbone. You won't notice this on tv's smaller than 50" though. The new controller is way better than the old 360 controller to. The buttons are way more crisp and the deadzones are much improved.
