So for many people not thinking straight about the xbox one, heres some stuff cleared up.
#1: Yes Xbox One is not backwards compatible, but there will be the 360 game on the demand. So if theres a game you enjoyed on your 360 and you got rid of your 360, you can purchase them again.
#2: The Gold membership is being improved. Gold membership is bound to the console in a way where others in the house can access those gold abilities without needing the gold member to be signed in. Also playstation plus has been doing this but Gold has announced you will get 2 free 360 games every month for being a gold member.
#3: Always being connected to internet. Yes they do require that but if you paid attention to the features what the xbox one had and the games as well, there would be a significant amount of exploits or negative experiences you or others might come across without being connected to cloud.
#4: For people that enjoy retailers like Gamestop. Developers use the money to keep severs up and running, fix current issues in games that you play and also paying for the time and effort the devs and others put into the game. With Gamestop want to give people $30 for a brand new game then turn around and put it on their shelf for $6 cheaper than a new copy is nuts. They do so to make as much profit as possible without having to pay a middle man. They will also tell you well its not a popular title or sport titles loose there value quickly. Even though you bought that non popular title from them for $30 and they want to give it you $5 for it. Or the fact that sport titles are all the same just updated rosters and graphics yet theres millions of people that buy them every year.
Im not saying Xbox is better than PS...Because it all boils down to what features or games you like on the console compared to the other. By all means don't let others decide for you in the console war, most of the time its fanboys that are saying PS is way better because of this or Xbox is way cooler because of this.
This post was intended to clear some things up for people that might still be confused, and this was gathered from what I have read and seen about the Xbox One.
