Honestly it's a really hard thing to explain just how awesome it is. I totally, completely, 100% get how Microsoft botched the initial launch of Xbone by focusing on the Kinect and ignoring games. The more that I use the kinect, the happier I am with it. It gets better with every update, and it really is the killer tech for the xbone that PS4 can't touch. The simple ease of saying "xbox pause" when you're in the middle of a netflix movie and want to get a drink or something, and then "xbox play" when you get back... It's terriffic.

Everything is easier and (mostly) intuitive. "Xbox, record that" in the middle of play without interrupting your play or taking you out to menus... seamless. "Xbox snap friends" to see who's online in a sidebar without taking your hands off the controller and making yourself vulnerable mid-pvp match. Things like that which let you keep doing what you were doing without needing to take your attention away from that activity - it's awesome.
