Xbox 360 contre Xbox One
Material
The
Xbox One
has more efficient computing capabilities that allow for smoother operation. In Xbox 360, there is a 3.2 GHz triple-core processor, while Xbox One has two quad-core modules. The memory has also been increased significantly between generations, from 360's 512
Mo
to the 8 GB of One.

and Skype. This allows console users to update apps as needed, while leaving the game system unchanged for game developers.

USB
port for battery charging. Other changes include:
Overall: The Xbox One controller is a slimmer, straighter design as opposed to the bulky curved 360. The weight is about the same, but more towards the center so it sits comfortably in the hand.
Analog sticks: The Xbox One stick is looser, has an outer rubber grip and a curved center to accommodate the player's finger. The four dots that get in the way are gone.
D-Pad: The D-pad on Xbox One is a simple plus sign-shaped D-pad with four distinct click zones, as opposed to the wobbly one on 360 which was confusing between clicking up, clicking right, or clicking up and right at the same time.
Kinect
