I'm not an XBox fan, but if I was one, these changes would be the deal breaker. I don't trust Microsoft that much either. XBone being geared for more money, DRM/Online restrictions, and overall less consumer friendly, while the PS4 is the exact the opposite. Nevertheless, it's amusing on how Microsoft is shooting itself in the foot and how the PS4 is topping it.
From XBone's Wikipedia article:
Well, even though the Wii U isn't doing much for hardware changes compared to the PS4, I'm really interested in their game library.
In addition to those Mario, Kirby, SSB, and Zelda games, you can also expect some Pokemon games for them as well down the road. Just hoping it's not another stadium game, but something similar to the handheld versions. I'm also interested in that Animal Crossing game.

Quote:Privacy concerns
The console's prominent use of the Kinect sensor has been the subject of concerns surrounding its possible use for surveillance. As the device must be connected into the user's Xbox One at all times to be functional, privacy advocates contended that the increased amount of data which could be collected with the new Kinect (such as a person's eye movements, heart rate, and mood) could be used for targeted advertising. Reports also surfaced regarding recent Microsoft patents involving Kinect, such as a digital rights management system based on detecting the number of viewers in a room, and tracking viewing habits by awarding achievements for watching television programs and advertising. While Microsoft stated that it currently has a privacy policy which "prohibit[s] the collection, storage, or use of Kinect data for the purpose of advertising", critics did not rule out the possibility that these policies may be changed prior to the release of the console. Concerns were also raised that the device could also record conversations, as its microphone remains active at all times. In response to the criticism, a Microsoft spokesperson stated that users will be able to "pause" Kinect sensing when desired, be provided with key privacy information and settings during the console's initial setup, and that user-generated content such as photos and videos "will not leave your Xbox One without your explicit permission."
