2. A Better SmartGlass
Currently, all consoles are no longer confined to the living room. In the wireless age, consoles now have "companion applications", allowing them to turn other devices -- such as tablets and phones -- into secondary screens to stream content, and act as extra controllers. Nintendo's Wii U can only stream content to its tablet controller, the Gamepad. While Sony's PS4 console can not only stream games and video to the PS Vita handheld, but to other devices also. So what does Microsoft's Xbox One have? Why, SmartGlass of course. Initially released for the Xbox 360 -- one month behind Nintendo's Wii U last year -- SmartGlass enables users to stream compatible Xbox 360 games to various mobile devices, and will be used the same way for Xbox One. Although it doesn't really stand out from the rest of console companion applications, SmartGlass has one huge advantage over them; time. SmartGlass was around longer than the Wii U and PS4 apps, and its ups and downs with the Xbox 360 can be used as a tutorial for developers who want to make it beeter for the Xbox One. Although the same applies for the competition, SmartGlass could opens more doors for the Xbox One especially when its combined with the other features on this list such as the cloud support and Kinect 2.0.
