Earlier today, Microsofts new Xbox was revealed, and It is called the Xbox One.
The new console is aiming to be a unified entertainment system, providing you with access to gaming, TV, internet, sports, music and more.
It gives users instant access to all of the above. Using simple voice commands, you can switch almost instantly between games, TV shows, movies, internet browsing, and music. All without having to close one program, and start up another.
Using voice commands you can also navigate the menus, answer Skype calls, and more.
The controller also underwent a redesign, and will have "16% longer battery life". It also has a " built-in rumble system called 'Impulse Triggers'", allowing developers to program feedback directly into the triggers.
A redesigned and improved Kinect sensor is also bundled with the new Xbox.
"The device will run three operating systems; Xbox OS, the Windows NT kernel and another OS that will allow the other two operating systems to communicate." From my understanding, this it what allows the Xbox One to switch so fast between programs.
During the first year of Xbox One's launch, Microsoft with release 15 console exclusives, 8 of which are brand new IP's.
Here's a list of games confirmed to be in development for the Xbox One:
Call of Duty: Ghosts
FIFA 14
Forza Motorsport 5
NBA Live 14
Madden NFL 14
Quantum Break
UFC
Halo 5
Destiny
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Watch Dogs
The Xbox One will be released worldwide later this year.
I'll keep this thread updated with all the news, trailers, pictures and such.
Keep in mind that this event was Part 1 of the big reveal, and at E3 in a few weeks, Microsoft will reveal even more details about the Xbox One.
In the meantime I'll try and gather as many confirmed facts on the Xbox One as i can, and post them here.
