Designed from the ground up to be the centerpiece of every living room, the new console is dominated by a sleek black exterior of sharp lines, corresponding controllers, and a matching Kinect system – now featuring an expanded field of view, tweaked gesture-recognition and voice-recognition technology that even allows you to boot up the system by simply saying “Xbox on.” Inside, the Xbox One boasts an 8-core x86 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive, Blu-ray functionality, and HDMI pass-thru while the controller itself now features more than 40 improvements that include “Impulse Triggers” (pressure-sensitivity), streamlined thumbsticks, and contours to the buttons and D-pad.
What will likely set the Xbox One apart from the next-gen pack, however, is its user experience. Sporting a new Windows OS, the Xbox One features an easy-to-use interface that includes Skype, cloud capabilities, and a Smartglass feature that allows users to turn mobile devices into a second screen for a more immersive interaction. Finally, Xbox LIVE will introduce “Smart Match,” a revolutionary matchmaking system that will pair players based on advanced algorithms using language, skill and reputation.
Availability and price: TBA (Probably as early as January 2014 here in the Philippines for around PhP22,000)
