E:D named the hardest game to complete for Xbox One 2015.

You can read the lineup from The Xbox Hub here. Below is the part about Elite Dangerous if you don't care about the whole list.

I am going to go on record and state that Elite Dangerous is the hardest game from 2015 to 100%! Why you might ask? Is it because you must attempt to fly through thousands of uncharted systems for literally days to reach the centre of the Milky Way? Is it because you must save up millions upon millions of credits in order to buy every ship in the game? Well no, not exactly. Funnily enough, the hardest achievement in this game is: Well Trained – COMPLETE THE TUTORIALS! Yes you read that correctly. Only three tracked gamers over at the premier achievement tracking site, TrueAchievements, have completed this challenge and just one has fully completed the game. But the difficulty doesn’t stop there. In total you must commit well over 800 hours of your life to this game! That’s about 34 days of mining, selling, exploring, shooting and bounty collecting. I love Elite and it is without doubt the best space flight sim ever made, but there’s no way I will be completing it any time soon.

Do you agree? Disagree?
 
I will argue the fact... there is no "beating" the game. And giving the amount of time you play (like he said 800 hours) doesn't mean anything. You could play for 800 hours and still have hardly any money or have billions (for an example).
 
It would appear that the reviewer is basing part of this ranking on achievements, such as collecting ships, Sag A and Well Trained. They are not exactly easy cheevos.

I'm just happy it's getting publicity. "Insane Difficulty" is what got me into Dark Souls, and I will never stop loving those games. *Even after they were nerfed. Who remembers DS1 before any patches?*
 
Lol... I know they are talking about achievements, but when you think about ED having an end... ha! That is like proclaiming "I won Dungeons & Dragons"!

They're not talking about 'beating' the game in that sense, just collecting every single achievement for gamerscore.

Anyone who thinks this game can be "beaten", doesn't understand the game at all.
