Impressive next-generation games, Slick TV and streaming-media integration
No social integration, Xbox Live Gold is essentially a requirement
The Xbox One smartly integrates TV, streaming video, and games. It has a few kinks to iron out, but it's already a welcome addition to any living room....
Well executed live TV integratio, Highly personalized interfac, Updated controller desig, Improved motion and voice commands on Kinect, Beautiful Graphics
Bi, bulky desig, Lacks TV DVR capability
The Xbox One seeks to be many things to many people, and it succeeds on most fronts. A more powerful CPU and GPU ensures next-gen graphics, even though it will be some time before developers tap this console’s full potential. However, if the One’s la...
Great Controllers, Kinect 2.0, Multitasking, HDMI Pass-Thru w/ TV Control, Some Great Games
Voice Commands, Some Launch Titles, Fledgling App Store
The arrival of the Xbox One, and its chief rival the PlayStation 4, are important on a number of different levels. For starters, even though the PC is considered by many (myself included) to be the premiere gaming platform, game consoles drive much of the...
Abstract: Microsoft has provided a glimpse in a new video showing how using the new Xbox One console will work. The video shows why the computing giant went with the numerically confusing name to emphasis the console’s all-in-one-device nature.In the video, we see ...
It's fair to say that the initial debut of the console at E3 was very bumpy, but Microsoft has reversed its policies and basically given to customers what they demanded: the same policies that govern Xbox 360 games today. How this episode will affect sale...
Abstract: In fact, so bad was the tide of anger that washed over Microsoft that just a few weeks after unveiling the console, and much to the aggravation of developers that were actually going to benefit from the strict policies, the company reversed all of its con...
Highly flexible home-theater device, not just a game console, Blu-ray playback, Voice-command features, Enhancements for sports fans
Higher price than competing PS4, partly because Kinect 2.0 is included, Potential heavy-handed game trade-in, sales restrictions, Requires cloud "check ins" to keep operating
The third-gen Xbox One looks to be a big-deal box for those seeking a home-theater one-man band for on-TV streaming, Web browsing, gaming, and much more. Just keep an eye on the restrictions regarding game disposition and required connectivity as the...

Voice controls work remarkably well. TV and OneGuide integration is seamless. Skype, facial recognition, and other features are useful and polished.
No backward compatibility or legacy game options. Voice controls and facial recognition aren't available on Kinect-less $399 version. Gesture controls don't work consistently. PS4's DualShock 4 is a better controller
Microsoft didn't just make a new game system with the Xbox One, it made a comprehensive gaming and home-entertainment hub you can control with your voice. Be prepared to pay a lot for all of these features (especially if you want voice control), but it's...

Abstract: Quite a few other promises were made to us last generation, only to be broken eventually:So with each new announcement, it's fun to look at each one trying to pick out fantasy from reality.The problem this year is that both Sony and Microsoft announced th...

Abstract: Initially, we couldn't quite decide what we were more surprised about - the fact that it isn't called the Xbox 720 as we have believed for years now and instead shares its name with HTC's latest flagship smartphone , or that it looks like a VCR from the '...
