The Xbox One is awesome and I haven't stopped using it for 3 straight days since I got it, but there are some serious flaws and even set backs from what the 360 had to offer.
Install times: This is damn ridiculous. This video will probably explain my anger fairly well. I even had to disconnect my internet to install my game and even then it was awfully slow. I don't think CoD Ghosts should take 1 hour 30 minutes to install from a disc.
App crashes and speed: I don't know about you, but my apps have been crashing a fair amount, especially Xbox Music and Friends. When you try and load the app back up it sits on the splash screen and then closes and says something along the lines of "App took to long to load". Some of my apps have been lagging, and I have found this happen in Store and Xbox Music especially.
Ease of navigation and snapping: I should be able to snap things like Friends and Achievements. It's getting silly having to pause a game when getting an achievement, wait for the app to load up for a while, and then go back into the game. I want to say "Xbox, snap Achievements", get the name of the achievement and the brief description on the side, and then say "Xbox, unsnap". And for the love of snapping please this!
Music support: I want to listen to music in the background of a game, not have a picture of the artist or website taking half the screen up so you can't really see what you're playing whilst listening to music. I'd like to play my own songs from a USB with my game fullscreen.
Sound: Please can I just choose whether my friends in party chat come out of my speakers or headset, so I don't have to use the Kinect as a microphone so I can hear my buddies through my Turtle Beaches. Speaking of that, why the hell is there no surround sound optical support!?
It's an awesome piece of kit and I'm pleased with my purchase, but it would be cool if we could have some basic things that were even on the 360, on this next-generation platform.
