wccftech

New Xbox controller finally supports easy screenshot and video recording features at a single button press
Two decades of Xbox titles all supported in one easy platform, all taking advantage of the new hardware one way or another
Whisper quiet even when running next gen titles at 4K
No need to purchase new accessories or games to enjoy next-gen features
Quick Resume a godsend when waiting for your fellow hunters to hop on Monster Hunter World or Destiny 2

Quick Resume functionality hindered with recent pre-launch software patches
UI can be unintuitive to navigate for specific features
Optical audio, HDMI passthrough, and Kinect ports all phased out from Xbox One
The true innovation of next-generation gaming hasn't been realized with this console launch
1TB of storage won't be enough with game installs still hovering around 50+ GB per title
802GB usable memory on the 1TB SSD because of Quick Resume and other OS features
