I,m not console guy myself but just out of curiosity - what turned you away from Xbox One ?
Microsoft said at their E3 show that xbox one would be a must online console and use the cloud function to boost graphics and all games sold will be locked to the console and require online to even play, and you cant sell the game or if the console crashes get the game working on a different console. So microsoft wanted in short: demolish the second hand amrket: you have to get the game brand new directly from microsoft and it will only work as long as microsoft has the servers up for the console, once they close them: you wont be able to play them anymore or have to get the next console they release.... So they control what you can play and when, charge max profit as stores wont sell second hand games, remove any chance of playing the games in the future and its a service now type of service, you dont own the game.
They got so much backlash that they changed it but to this day you can tell the console was meant for online must and cloud use, although they changed their minds they showed what they think and they hate people being able to play games from previous owners and not buy the games directly new or being able to own the games for the future. After that they lost me, remove my owner right and I f**king walk away.
