Guys going into a new console generation there will always be new features on the consoles that improve gaming and this goes beyond the obvious...visuals. What, to you are the best new, overrated or underrated enhancements of the XBOX ONE or PS4?
Overrated: The Cloud, GDDR5, Xbox tv (just for the fact they pushed it hard in the reveal, and you have to pay for that feature if i'm not mistaken and the fact that it is only availible in the U.S.A, plus it's only with a certain cable company i think :S.)
Overrated: Kinect (it will not be as good as they say and advertise--just like before: it will be fun for niche categories and titles, but it will not add much anything to the core experience)
Underrated: Sony (I know a lot of people are liking Sony right now--but a lot of people are thinking short term: I imagine we will see a Sony surge of success given their more developer-friendly design/philosophy this generation, strong 3rd party support, price advantage, and ability to invest and push new IPs from strong 1st party studios)
Xbox One = Time Warner cable deal and other cable company deals that offer the chance to ditch your cable box and its monthly rental fee, thus saving you money every month by logging online to your cable package through the Xbox One. Saving that box rental fee alone will likely save you over 100 bucks a year in the US and that's major for me = underrated
I confused by the question. Underrated and Overrated by who? The posters here or official statements from Microsoft & Sony? If you are talking about the posters on Gamespot, the short answer is anything about Xbox One = Overrated. Anything about PS4 = Underrated. Because hating on Microsoft is what all the cool kids are doing these days.
Overraded: -Tah CLOUDZ! Underrated: -The Internet (which is thing that people call the cloud) -DS4 youch pad -Shere button (at least on SW, which for some of reason are blind to not see whats happening on YouTube and Twich)

Do you have a link where I can read more about that? I'm not quite sure it will work that way. There's no coaxial input on the Xbox One is there? Unless the service is going to work through an internet connection we're still going to need that cable box for the HDMI out.

EDIT: looks like it will work by streaming the content, and it will work on 360s too. Pretty cool but I'm not sure how many more devices I can have streaming in my house before I start to see a big hit on quality. Not willing to give the box away just yet.
