Xbox One Revealed 22 May 2013 09:23:21
After many months of speculation and rumors, Microsoft detailed its next generation console the Xbox One.
The Xbox One, described by Don Mattrick, president of the Interactive Entertainment Business for Microsoft, was designed and built "as an all-in-one system to align games, TV and entertainment."
The Xbox One will support an all new dashboard that allows players to multitask while in different programs. It allows for simultaneous movie streaming, television and gaming.
The Kinect is a big portion of the Xbox One. Yusuf Mehdi, SVP of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business, demonstrated using voice activation to turn on the One, activate programs and return to the home screen. The Xbox One also uses gesture controls to manipulate the Xbox home screen.
The Xbox One will integrate into your television and cable. It will include features for viewers to easily find their favorite shows and channels via voice command, and find programs based on what is trending around the world.
Microsoft gave some idea of the hardware powering the One. It will feature an eight-core CPU, 8 gig of RAM, a 500 gig HDD, a Blu-Ray Drive, 802.11 Wireless with Wi-Fi Direct, HDMI and USB 3.0.
