Monthly updates have completely reshaped what the Xbox One can do. Not content to let its console stagnate, Microsoft has been committed to regularly updating its machine with new features and additions that give you a reason to jump back in every single time something changes. For a company that harboured so much ill-will a few years ago, it shows that Microsoft is dedicated to its gamer-first approach, implementing requested features that constantly improve the experience for players.

Sony, on the other hand, has been laborious with releasing firmware updates for the PS4. Coming months and months apart, Sony's major updates admittedly improve quite a lot of the features and problems with the console, but the amount of time it takes for the company to implement these changes is just too long. With key features still missing that fans have been clamouring for since the console's initial launch, Sony just doesn't seem focused on fixing the long-term issues of its machine.

Overall Microsoft's focus on updates and player experience just seems that bit more dedicated and thought out, and you get the idea that the Xbox One is more prepared to evolve with the times over its inevitably long lifespan.
