Xbox One April update improves friend notifications, voice commands
Most significant to online multiplayer users, the April update will also introduce friend notifications. Messages will pop up when friends sign onto Xbox Live and users will see what multiplayer games they're playing in their friends list. These changes bring Xbox One closer to the Xbox 360's Xbox Live experience. As with the party chat features introduced in the March update, friend notifications have been a regularly requested feature.
Xbox One's final April interface tweaks are game save and app update status notifications. Saving a game will now bring up a progress bar to show when the save is complete. Users will also be able to "easily tell what games or apps are being updated," though Hryb doesn't expand on how they will be able to tell what's been updated.
Starting Tuesday, potential testers will be contacted through Xbox Live to put these new features through their paces. More testers will be contacted before the update is released in April. In teasing other features for future updates, Microsoft said it hopes to include external hard drive storage support soon.

Miss After hearing all these good updates for the console, I really don't know which to get anymore.
I would go for the Xbox One, but that's just coming from a person who had an Xbox 360 for 5 years.
