In this article you will find everything you need to know about the Xbox One. You will find information about all of the new and improved features it will have and also you will find all of the new things it will have!
The debate every console gamer is talking about: PS4 vs Xbox 1! Which will you choose? Need help deciding? That is why we are here! To help you decide which console you will choose we are here! I will be telling you everything about the Xbox 1. My partner will tell you about the PS4. So now without further interruption let’s start!
Upgrades
Some minor things that you would expect from the Xbox 1 that are upgraded are the features it had before such as the Kinect There are other things such as graphical upgrades that you would expect from a newer version of a console. Also the color of the Xbox 1 will be the same as the first console black. More similar to the PS 4. The controller will look similar to the original Xbox’s. Except it will not have a wire connecting to the console as the first Xbox had. Also the Xbox one will be priced at $399. Many people have started to call the Xbox 1 the all entertainment system. As you can do many things on it. Not just gaming. You can do things such as watch live T.V. on it, you can Skype on it all controlled by Kinect. Speaking of Kinect, The Kinect Feature on the Xbox will come with improved voice recognition so it can understand you better. It is like a T.V. remote you can use for pretty much anything to do anything you want without grabbing hold to anything and pressing anything. Just by speaking to Kinect you can do whatever you want. You can even turn on the Xbox with Kinect. By saying the words Xbox on the console will automatically turn on. You don’t need to press the button on the system or turn on the controller. You can turn it on with your voice! The Xbox 1 is always listening to you. Even while the console itself is off. It is listening. But of course you can also still use the Kinect by hand motions. This new version of the Kinect is a substantially improved version of the system. Based on the quote from above Microsoft said the Kinect can move at the speed of light!! It takes the least amount of time possible to react to you. How cool! Lastly on the Kinect it comes with infa- red which pretty much means that you can use the Xbox 1 in complete darkness!
Blu- Ray
This new version of the Xbox 1 will also come with a blue ray player! So you will now be able to watch blue ray movies on your Xbox!
Now lets get on to one of the most important things that comes with a gaming console is the controller. The new Xbox One controller. First off the controller will take AA batteries. So if you are planning on buying the Xbox 1 start stocking up on AA batteries now so you are ready for when the controller comes out. Microsoft has also confirmed that the controller will work very similarly as the 360 does. But they said the design will be and feel more confortable for the user. Some of the buttons on the controller have been slightly changed but it is really hard to tell what has changed about them. Also, the battery will no longer be put in from the back of the controller. This new controller seems very promising for the Xbox 1 system.

Now onto discs. The new Xbox 1 discs will be on blu-ray discs. But you only need to put in each disc once. Once you put in a disc your hard drive will remember the game and you won’t need to put them in again. How convenient! Now onto a misconception everyone is having with the Xbox one. THE XBOX ONE IS NOT ALWAYS ONLINE. Kinect is always online. Not the console. Kinect is always on so that you can turn your Xbox on. But the console itself is not always on.
Games
Onto the last part of this article. Xbox games. Their will be 15 confirmed launches of their own game studios Xbox one games in 2013. The confirmed exclusive titles are Forza Motorsport 5, Quantum Break, Halo 5 and Ryse. FIFA 14 will also launch on the console with exclusive content, and the new COD game, Call of Duty: Ghosts, will also have exclusive content on the Xbox One. These are all of the facts that have been publicized. As always we will update you if things change or new things are updated in future issues.
