So...

There are a couple of 360 games I'd like to play that slipped under my radar: Lost Odyssey and Infinite Undiscovery. Can they be played on the Xbone?

Here's a list of everything from the Xbox and 360 that's playable on the One:

Yes, all are capable of BC!

So, I had my ps4 controller plugged in on my leg the other day...fell off, foot and a half to the ground... damaged the port on the controller that the it uses to charge. Now, it's very difficult to get it to charge. I HATE that there is no battery option for PS4 controllers. Never had this problem with PS3, but both my PS4 controllers have damaged ports. I had to throw the other away because it wouldn't charge at all.

Sweet.

Obviously getting a used 360 is the cheaper option, but I hate buying used consoles.

I heard rumors that the PS4 are built light weight and cheap like. I don't have proof because I never had A PlayStation 4 but I heard somewhere on the internet that the PS4 is not built vary tough.

My PlayStation 3 was dropped many times like my PS2 both already fell 3 feet from the ground and still works, My PlayStation 2 was also dropped at least 3 feet from the ground onto a thin piece of carpeting onto a cement floor. it still works I am a klutz, and I don't think if I had a PS4 do that it would survive from what I heard about them.

If I would ever buy either of them I would definitely get the XboxOne for it's backwards capability, but I already have a barely used Xbox360 so not today 

(edit) Xbox360 is vary heavy and I would try not to that that ever drop

I was just talking about the controller, not the system itself. The PS4 controllers are, IMO, very fragile compared to PS3 or 360 (Ore XB1) controllers/

After stopping in a GameStop this weekend I found another decent reason to choose XB1 - games are generally cheaper on the secondary market.  Probably due to the lack of immediate demand.

I still have trouble purchasing XBONE titles over their PS4 counterparts. You'd think with prices being $5-10 cheaper than the PS4 versions, I would be cleaning UP but I still hold out.  :P

When it comes to XBONE exclusive titles, I still purchase those if I find them cheap enough. Micro Center had Forza 6 for $10 and I snapped that up. That was the first XBONE game I've bought in months whereas I seem to get PS4 games almost weekly.  :o

Preface.

I own a PS4 and a PS4 Pro as well as a launch model Xbox One and an X1X.

With the exception of Detroit: Become Human (played to completion multiple times) and a few hours of Infamous:Second Son, XB1 has dominated my console gaming time. With Switch coming in at close second.

For me it comes down to:
Xbox One X: best graphics and frame rates.
Backward compatibility: I’ve actually repurchased games I had on PS3 for 360 because of the BC.
4K Blu Ray
Play Anywhere: I have a beefy Windows 10 PC setup. Having games like Quantum Break And Cup Head be Xbox1/Windows 10 cross buy is awesome. Save games even transfer from one platform to the other.
Game Pass: This is what PSNow should be. And at some point it’ll be on every platform.
Games With Gold: after the first month is done, the games for that month are yours. They don’t expire when games with gold does
Unlimited cloud save: why is it PS Plus costs more but gives you less? Less cloud  storage. A temporary license to free games. No previous gen free games anymore. Where exactly is the value?

At the end of the day. I own both. If someone is a serious gamer I’d recommend both.

Best value for MY dollar? I have to say Xbox One all the way.

All GWG on the 360/BC are yours to keep, even after gold expires. On XB1 that's not the case. When gold expires, so does your access to the games.

Agreed on the Cloud. I ran out of cloud storage on PSN years ago. It was a driving factor, along with HD storage space, in my primarily buying games on XB1.

Are you sure? I swear my gwg has expired before and I still had all my games but the current month.

100%.  It was a huge sticking point when the XB1 launched.  It may still show them in your library or history, but you can’t access them.
