Myself I like the Xbox One better then my old Xbox 360.I think it's only going to go uphill for the X1 from here.Not disappointed at all.What about you,are you sorry for having your X1 console?

I'm satisfied with my Xbox One. I enjoy it more than my PS4, but not as much as my Wii U and I don't think it is as great as the Xbox 360 was.

Yes absolutely. it's my prime console this gen and likely my ONLY console this gen, unless the NX wows me to be that complimentary console.

Overall, It has everything I expected to have, from controllers, games, exclusives, and a better online service.

No, my gut reaction would be to say not at all but I do like having the ability to see what Microsoft is doing.
Other than that it's not at all.

The Xbox One was a bad idea that they tried to fix but instead somehow made worse.

They showed it as a multimedia console and I was happy with that. Power was sacrificed to be able to be an overall entertainment device. Digital only was also a huge selling point for the console.

Once people threw a fit Microsoft went away from being a complete media device and mainly worked towards games. Problem is that they still don't have the power to compete against "other" consoles this generation when it comes to power and the gap widens each year.

Because of the power issues we've see the Xbox One lose out on over 150 games so far this generation. They've lost exclusives like COD and instead have paid a lot of money on poor returns like Tomb Raider.

Also because of the focus on just games we've seen the multimedia options regress to where they're worse experiences then we had a generation ago.

The UI is a disaster and is so buggy and laggy even after all this work that it puts people off the second they start up the console.

The controller is a step back from the 360. The first one was just obnoxious with it's lack of a headphone jack but even with that fixed the sticks are too loose and the oddly shaped controller design reminds people more of the Duke when it comes to overall accessibility.

Xbox Live isn't the draw it used to be. Don't get me wrong it's still the best but it's by the slimmest margins. Games for Gold is a pretty weak program and still uses the outdated release schedule that is not consumer friendly.

The thing people should know is this. Microsoft already took a hit to the security side of things when Stepto (Stephen Toulouse) left. Just a few weeks ago they also lost E (Eric Neustadter) and that should worry everyone. He was the one of the people who created Xbox Live as everyone knows it today. He was the one who knew what scale things had to be to work smoothly. People thought he was crazy when he suggested the size of the infrastructure needed for Halo once it went online but he was right. He has an uncanny ability to see what others can't. For years he was Microsoft's little known weapon. Him being gone is a concern with 2016 being the start of real cloud based computing for games.

I don't regret my two Day One editions but I don't consider them quality purchases.

If I had to say one good thing about the system it's that I enjoy the textured sides of the thumbsticks.

I'm gonna go with, Yes, but the Xbox 360 is better at the same point of time.{Lifespan} The only exclusive game I enjoy was Rare Replay which was my most played Xbox One game and as much as I like Halo 5, it got boring very fast and I couldn't even do my Legendary run gameplay at that. I'm sorry but as much as I like Xbox One, Xbox 360 still does it better since it's pretty much the only console to have 100% BC and it can still play original Xbox games despite some games have framerate issues such as KOTOR.

But next year's Xbox One line up looks really promising with 4 new IP games: Quantum Break, Sea of Thieves, ReCore, and Scalebound. The only 2 games I'm interested is just Scalebound and Quantum Break and not sold on the other 2 games just yet.

Yes very satisfied with it, no major complaints, I just want to see a more improved My games and apps app and the ability to play background music soon. I'd like an official wireless MIC as well.

Also I've been playing a lot with the Elite controller during the last few days, and I'm finally getting used to the back paddles now, loving them with Halo 5 that is pretty much all I've played in the last few days. I basically got what I wanted out of Xbox One so far it has met my expectations and my real issue is finding the time to play games, a full time job will unfortunately get in the way of that ....I miss my younger years when I had more gaming time :)

Very satisfied! I've owned/tried all the consoles this gen, and found Xbone to be what suits me best. And will be my primary console this gen.

I do like the UI of the Xbone better than my PS4s. I bought a bunch of games cheap for it on black Friday and am pretty happy. It's nice they're adding backward compatibility with the 360 too.

Xbone really needs good exclusives for non-enthusiasts to really want the system (Other than Halo and timed exclusives). Otherwise, the system may be traded in for me eventually.

Yes, bought one at the end of August 2014 and haven't regretted it. It's the best current-gen console but I can't say it's better than the Xbox 360 was at the same point in its lifecycle but it was a different time. These days devs are a lot less willing to take risks and creativity is at an all-time low. That said, with games like Forza Horizon 2, Killer Instinct, D4, Sunset Overdrive, Dead Rising 3, Gears of War Ultimate Edition, Forza Motorsport 6 and Rise of the Tomb Raider. I can't really complain. There's also all the multiplats but I play most of those on PS4.

Yeah it's nice but comparing it to 360, the greatest console to ever come down the pike is a bit unfair. :P

I just got an Xbone for Christmas. I had no intention of getting one, but my wife got it for me. She got the 1TB holiday bundle with Ori, Gears, and Rare Replay, as well as one free game which we picked Dragon Age Inquisition. All that for $320(US). At that price, the xbone has been good.

I really hate the long game installs. It's ridiculous. At this point, I've just put games to install overnight. I also do not like the UI, but I'm hoping it's just a matter of time until I get used to it. But I'm not seeing the snap feature, and good God what pain it is to get to the "redeem code" screen.

On the positive, it plays good games :) I have a PS4, so I'll most likely stick to xbone exclusives, or that rare game that may be up to par or better on it (supposedly Dragon Age has a more stable frame rate). But I also have Destiny, since my multiplayer friends are mostly on xbone.

Oh, and that Killer Instinct Classic! I was such a huge fan of the arcade. I'm so happy it's now free with gold. I would have bought it anyways, but this was a huge reason for me wanting the xbox. I'm hoping more people get it now that it's free and that an online community pops up for it.

I waited until the Kinect 2.0 was unbundled from Xbox one then I bought the console. Xbox one is good. Plus I like Halo and Gears of War franchises so the Xbox one was going to be a must buy. Glad that Kinect is now gone from Xbox one.

Satisfied, yes. But no where near the greatness of 360.

The installs are a bitch! Like for real! 360 didn't have this significant problem. MS definitely went a step back and the UI is a cluttered mess. Say what you want, but that's what they gave us! It's not abysmally bad, but navigating just seems awkward.

Yes, I have had the console since about October. I was a huge supporter of the Xbox360 last generation, but went over to the PS4 this generation to start off. So far I am really enjoying my time with the XboxOne.
