Introduction
One Console to rule them all. One console to find all your devices, one console to control all your services and in the living room bind them.
That's Microsoft's plan. Gaming,cable television, music and movies all streaming into one system: the Xbox One. it's ambitious, but the hardware seems capable.
Design
The first you'll notice about the Xbox One is what an absolute beats it is. it measure 274 x 79 x 333 mm, making it longer and taller than a PlayStation 4 or Xbox 360. You don't need a tape measure to figure that out through, the thing just looks huge.
its size and girth harkens back to the original Xbox, an imposing black plastic beast covered in black plastic ridges. Microsoft seems to be throwing back to that design, bringing back the all black and the ridge-covered aesthetic.
When you frist take Xbox one out of its box, you'll notice an eyesore of a sticker next to the blu-ray drive asking you to kindly not move the system while the disc is inside.
A good warning as that can damage a spinning disc in any system, but an ugly sticker luckily it comes off nice and clean. We also have hard time imagining that gamers will be moving their hulking Xbox ones very often especially since the system is also not designed to stand on it side.
Kinect
You can't talk Xbox One without bringing up the new Kinect. While the system can operate without being hooked into Microsoft's magic eye, you'd be losing a lot of its most unique features and showroom wow factor.
The new Kinect is a whhole lot bigger than its predecessor. it's also designed to sit in front of your TV rather than perched on top of the screen like the Playstation Camera. it's too big and presumably, delicate for that
Just like the system itself it has a while light up logo on its right side. Dull red lights from its IR blaster intermittently glow when it's active
The underside of the kinect has rubber feet that provide a firm grip. it's not going to fall off your entertainment centre any time soon. it csn also tilt up and down with enough range of motion that there shouldn't be any trouble finding the right angle of your living room.
Features
The Xbox One is more than a game console. That got it into some hot water when it first debuted at E3 2013. There were accusation that Microsoft had shoved games to the side in favor of media features and cable integration- features that even available outside the US at launch
