Solid line-up of games, Kinect-less console is cheaper and more powerful, Occasionally useful multi-tasking and picture-in-picture
Flagship features still have flaws, A big, inelegant box
Abstract: The Xbox One's design is subject to a running joke. Many people say it looks like a VCR thanks to its black colorization and large rectangular shape. Personally, I don't think the console is ugly, but it's not pretty either. The Xbox One isn't designed to...
The Xbox One is a media powerhouse, starting off with the new and improved Kinect and HDMI-in features. The new Kinect is a significant improvement over the previous iteration, boasting superior smarts like the fact it’s always listening, it can respond to even more voice commands, and can detect your heart rate. It can even identify different people, signing them into their own Xbox Live account
It's big. There's no question that Microsoft's latest box is a behemoth, being larger than both its predecessor and its rival, the PlayStation 4. But that's for a reason. Microsoft has made sure there's adequate cooling inside, so there won't be any repeats of the Xbox 360's infamous Red Ring of Death. Still, you can’t help but wonder if it could be it a bit slimmer. It also comes with an externa
Microsoft’s next-gen console is a compelling package that wants to cater for all your media needs. It's a competent gaming system, with great launch titles and Microsoft has made the best controller even better. But it’s not without its teething issues...

Plays games, but also adds useful functionality to your cable TV setup. Improved voice commands, multitasking between games, movies, TV, et cetera.
Voice input still hitormiss. Does live TV but does not let you control your DVR. No broadcasting gameplay (yet). Rechargeable controller batteries an expensive addon, not standard
The biggest shift with the arrival of the Xbox One is clearly the seismic transformation in terms of hardware specs. Gaming is getting bigger, more beautiful and more immersive.But it's not enough in an on-demand, multi-screen world where distractions exi...
Abstract: J ust like game console manufacturers Nintendo and Sony, halfway through this year, Microsoft also announced their new game computer. The Xbox One is an all-in-one entertainment system that opens the world to music, live TV, films, sport, apps, and Sky...

Voice controls are comprehensive, games are incredibly smooth, Blu-ray player included, new controller design more refined, Kinect offers lots of clever features, turns your TV into a smarter TV, Skype experience is excellent, switching apps is smooth and
Gets hot, separate power brick needs accommodating, you need to have the console on to watch TV using pass-through, voice sometimes ignores you, parents will need to keep a closer eye on kids
The Xbox One marks the start of a new generation of entertainment, one that's centred around your big screen and one that wants to give you everything from gaming to music, to movies and more. It rolls in the internet, it brings apps and you get Sky...

Voice controls work remarkably well, TV integration is seamless, Lots of neat extra features, Stronger launch games than the PS4
More expensive than the competition, Many features need a Live Gold account
Microsoft has taken a huge step forward with the Xbox One, offering the same sort of hardware upgrade Sony gave the PlayStation 4, along with many new features that range from handy to completely game-changing. Kinect's voice controls and the full-on TV ...
