I think Xbone got a higher score because they explain it thus: It is more forward looking and has better games out of the gate. Doesn't matter in the long run whatsoever. PS4 could be deemed more forward looking due to allocating its hardware resources to better run high def content in higher resolutions that gives developers more legroom in terms of graphics fidelity. Xbone must improve upon its Kinect integration but questions remain as to its viability, especially in games. If you don't watch cable TV, Xbone's advantages quickly dwindle. But if you decide down the road to opt in, then it is there to integrate everything in a neat package. The demonstration of the seamless transition from OS, to game, to app was downright revelatory. That is the allure and potential, which I think is worth a .5, along with a breadth of games available from day one Forza 5 driving simulation being the standard, followed by Dead Rising 3, and surprising entry of Killer Instinct.
I don't know whether they are any good or trustworthy. Generally I find their site cluttered and tacky. But goodness, the layout and presentation of their features are simply extraordinary.
