Xbox One: 10 Reasons Why You Should Be Buying It

6. Rock Solid Internet Framework

Xbox Live As much as I've loved my PS3, it's always been let down by its internet capabilities. Chuggy, constantly down for maintenance, and slower than an arthritic camel with no legs when it's trying to performing updates, it was simply outclassed by Xbox Live on every level. Admittedly, this was probably because Microsoft has always charged for their internet service and Son didn't, but the PS4's internet gaming services are now also locked behind a Playstation Plus subscription and require a charge to be paid in order to play online. You can expect Xbox One to keep delivering the same solid internet - and as internet gets quicker, and digital games become more important, this will be a major player in the battle for next-gen console supremacy. Or alternatively I've just cursed it and everything will break, over and over again. Sorry about that!
