I'm on the fence about it. I would only get it because i wouldn't want to be left in the dark on an xbox360 but here is a few things i dug up to give it a "fighting chance".
- The xbox one is in all in one package entertainment system. Sure the starting cost is $500 but you can do almost anything which means it draws in more various people who maybe enjoy watching movies or listening to music more often than playing games. I use netflix 80% of my time on my 360.
- It requires an internet connection to play. So what? Do you live in the stone age? Are you a caveman and do not have internet? Is there really anyone in your neighborhood that you know of that doesn't have internet?
- licences for games to play. Now this one pretty much sucks and there is really no good rebuttal for this one. I agree it sucks that you have to pay for a license for every game but that also means games are going to be cheaper to buy...(you just can't share them with friends)

costs too much, for too little. even though i'm a pc guy, if i was to buy a console it'd have to be a ps4. my $50 digital tv set-top-box can do everything the xbox one can bar play games, so i hardly see how that's a ground breaking feature.

Why don't you go out and count all the countries/states that are annually facing natural disasters like thunderstorms in which a trees could fall on power lines and cut off the electricity from an entire city? What kind of an age we live in if people actually accept the fact that our furniture decide to brick themselves when they aren't fed electricity constantly.

The PS4 has the same features of netflix, I also believe reading it'll cost extra money to watch on Xbox One and have no extra fee on the PS4

People's internet connections DO go out believe it or not, I've had no internet for a few days plenty of times, at which point I'd just switch over to my console which I'd now be unable to do.
- licences for games to play. Now this one pretty much sucks and there is really no good rebuttal for this one. I agree it sucks that you have to pay for a license for every game but that also means games are going to be cheaper to buy...(you just can't share them with friends)
I doubt the price will drop honestly but that's to be determined upon release.
