Great was the outcry when the One was announced in the first quarter of 2013. After the 360 was acquired a large market share over Nintendo and Sony and Microsoft also created the best controller in the world, millions looked forward to the successor.
But no joy flowed through the WWW.
The console was verschriehen as alleged TV Box, with the appearance of HVS recorder and the Internet coercion (which in my opinion had its advantages ...
After all restrictions were removed by Don Mattrick, yet the One had to swallow the heavy pill. Even to this day sells the One is not nearly as good as the PS4 (with currently about 17 million), while the One around haunted with 11 million.
Nevertheless, I bought one. And regret it one bit.
The processing of the console is excellent. It is quiet (although I have a feeling it is sometimes but louder). The controller is more divine than ever before. The dashboard is a dream for me. It is modern, lively and exciting. The patch support is known just as awesome. Thus, the patches are based on the User Voices, which you create yourself under xbox.uservoice.com, liken and can get animals ...
The graphics are a two-edged sword.
She is very good for only console gamers. "Battlefield 4" for example, running at 60fps, high scale for PC graphics settings, but only at 720p. Supportet While the main competitor 900p. "The Witcher 3" on the One with 900p, on the PS4 with 1080p ...
Were relies on graphics and wants to play on console, should resort to the PS4. Nevertheless, the graphics of the One is very chic to look at. And sets out clearly from the LastGen.
Kinect is also quite good. Only drowned my television myself, commands do not always come to. The Motion Commandos also work great. Especially in games like D4 and Disney Fastansia a real pleasure.
Another feature of the One is the multitasking both. So you can listen to a broadcast on YouTube (the video stutter from YouTube in docked mode strangely), while one level up in Diablo. very beautiful.
Even the switch between the apps run smoothly. The One provides the ability to run multiple apps running in the background. The rule of thumb is a game + 3 or 4 Apps. So you can very quickly wechsel'n on Battlefield of twich from Battlefield on Skype etc. condition the Apps have been downloaded before. Otherwise is an approximately 3-4 seconds loading screen. Then it goes ratze Fatz.
Nevertheless, the One also has a pair of difficulties. Every now and then crashes a game or can not be opened. VLT. once a week the case, although it can be annoying. The controller sets sometimes (rarely made). Laggs in Dashbaord be it.
All in all, I recommend the One without restriction. Graphics performance is great (even if not the ne plus ultra) (with vibrating controller) probably result, the controller simply fantastic and a dashboard for.
The exclusives are far too loose competitive, even better on the PS4.
With Forza Motorsport 6 already comes the third racing game grenade while the PS4 rumgurkt with Drive Club.
5 Stars!
