SeventyX7:
The "always on" thing pisses people off because it's taking choice away from the consumer.
"I bought my xbox. It's mine. I can do with it what I want to because I'm free, it's my property, and it's my decision."
Always on says, "Nope, you don't get to play your xbox you paid 300-500 dollars for unless we say so! Btw, you can't go over to a friends house and pop in your game and play there. Have a nice day, because we already have your credit card information."

Quotes are coming from here.
--- Quote ---What about members of my family on the same console?
YES. If a game is installed on a console, anybody who uses that console can play it through that console's parental controls. But what we don't know is how many accounts this will apply to: four? Five? Two?
Bottom line: you can only share games if your accounts are on the same console and parental controls are set up to do so.

--- Quote ---Will it work without Kinect?
NO. Xbox's UK marketing director Harvey Eagle said at last night's Microsoft-hosted stream that Kinect requires to be attached to the console in all cases, and this has since been echoed elsewhere. "The all new Kinect is now an essential and integrated part of the platform. By having it as a consistent part of every Xbox One, game and entertainment creators can build experiences that assume the availability of voice, gesture and natural sensing, leading to unrivaled ease of use, premium experiences and interactivity for you," says Microsoft's Xbox One FAQ.
However, developers will not be mandated to use Kinect in every game, Phil Harrison clarified to Eurogamer. Another nugget of information: you also can't turn off Kinect's microphone, says hardware program manager John Link (via Polygon). It's always listening.

Da fuq?!
As has been said, that always on kinect with its 1080p camera is creepy as hell.
Sakubo:
I don't plan to get the new xbox but like most people it will really depend on the games. If the xbox somehow gets tons of rpgs which are the only games I really care about I would probably still end up getting one. I mean that was the only reason I bought the 360 because I wanted to play a Tales game. But seeing as I think most companies wont be as interested in making games that only work on the new xbox I figure the new playstation will end up being the better purchase.

IF I was planning on getting a system, I would most certainly get a PS4. The hardware seems to be better, and you don't need to check in with your mother every day, and the license to the game is attached to the disk.

PS4 is not backwards compatible either so in that since of making games for a new system they are both the same.
