The kinect camera watching you? Put a piece of tape over it, paranoid people already do it to laptops with built in web-cams. Not that hard. Can't sell/buy used games? Not true. 24-hour internet connection requirement? Removed. You can't lend/trade games? Yes you can. The only difference is the price, but, there is always a but ... The xbox one comes with more. Kinect built in, PS4 motion eye(what is it called again?) is sold separately. Xbox controller is already great, Sony is still trying to fix the dualshock. Speaking about kinect, it can detect movements as slight as your heartbeat, doubt the cheapskates at Sony can do as good as that. And customer service, Microsoft is better than Sony, from my experience.
