Today Microsoft revealed the new completely redesigned Xbox One, which will soon become your all-in-one entertainment system to create experiences like no other. The system will instantly recognize you and will do away with manual login and annoying system updates.
If that wasn’t cool enough, Xbox One will remember what you were last doing and resume it instantly through cloud integration. Simple commands will allow you to watch live TV, and instant switching will allow users to quickly switch between TV, listening to music, and playing games within seconds. The new Snap Mode will allow users to run multiple programs alongside each other so you can watch TV and surf the web simultaneously. Xbox One will also contain a new sports offering which will allow you to manage your fantasy football team and look at stats on the same screen that you are watching the big game on. And for once you won’t have to stop what you are doing to take a phone call since users will also be able to take Skype calls directly on their television while they are gaming or watching shows.
The new Xbox One Guide will help users discover and watch TV through voice control commands, search, favorites, and trendy. Now you can pin all your favorite shows to one place and browse trendy to check out the most popular shows within the Xbox community. Xbox One finally puts the user at the center of their entertainment and is the beginning of truly intelligent TV. Xbox One has a new elegant design backed by raw power that will offer faster human control for a more human experience. Xbox One is a system where all of your devices will work together in harmony to create a lag-free and instant entertainment experience. Microsoft will release 15 exclusive game titles in its first year with 8 of these titles being brand new franchises. Get ready, gamers; Xbox One will launch around the world later this year!
