Next, there should be a NextGen console, and both the PS4 and the XBOX One made a good impression. I have decided, and it did not regret me for the Xbox One. They eliminated many weaknesses of the old Xbox, and offers more than just the opportunity to play. Microsoft continues with the Xbox One, the concept "Multimedia" really great to! The most important for me AT A GLANCE
+ Super Quiet
+ Multimedia
+ Super App Concept
+ DLNA capable in combination with the Synology DiskStation
The Xbox 360 was nice, but (felt) hummed like a helicopter. No comparison with the XBOX One - to watch a movie on the console without any problems, without feeling disturbed by fan noise or the like. And that brings me to the next highlight - the XBOX One can be much more than just a "toy". I have both a Netflix and Prime Instant Video account. For both, there are apps, so I can easily access directly from the console of my favorite movies and series and see this. In movies and photos that I have stored on my network hard drive (my private little cloud of Synology DiskStation), I can access via the app Media Player and play them.
The App Store can still make use well and is perfectly integrated: Two Games (DLC) I bought on the XBOX iPhone app "Smart Glass" while I was traveling. These were then automatically loaded onto the XBOX One, so that they, as I was arriving home, ready to play already existed.
The new controller is even better in the hand than the old one, and the previous game titles, which I have zockt (Metro, Far Cry 4, Tomb Raider, Diablo III) have made powerful mood. Since I do not play (more) online, I can not say anything on this point. Also, I've bought the version without Kinect, because - I personally do not see the added value of voice and gesture operation beyond absolutely sufficient me the old school games, and - at least for now.
In conclusion the XBOX One is exactly been the right choice for me: I can gamble the latest games, watching movies, embed the NAS network hard drive and have thus a panacea has been found in terms of the living room multimedia, still to no more noise makes as its predecessor. Prima, strong buy recommendation, 5 stars!
