The company revealed the Xbox One, its next-generation entertainment console, during a presentation Tuesday at its headquarters in Redmond, Wash.
The console was demonstrated using voice control to switch back and forth between watching live TV, listening to music and browsing the Internet, as well as simultaneously running apps.
It's been eight years since the launch of the Xbox 360. The original Xbox debuted in 2001, and its high-definition successor premiered in 2005.
At a time when we already have too many devices and too many apps Microsoft has decided that their gaming console needs to be a computer, Live TV and Skype as well. It will so this by using the Windows kernel (lol) with the Xbox and bridge them.
What could go wrong?
