Are you a PC gamer with a decent PC? Try show him graphics comparisons between PC and xbox games that you both play. Also tell them that the graphics and physics processing is better. Also - at the price of the xbox one ($500) you can build a PC that will be noticeably better than xbox. Another pro about computers is their customizability. You can swap a GPU for a better one - or get more RAM and space for more games... Also - PC games are backwards compatible (most) and they don't require an internet connect every 24 hours. PCs have more capabilities (not just for gaming) and have more game developers. If you have a hard-copy of a PC game - you can share it with friends, unlike xbox one.
