What makes the Xbox One a great console is the many features available to those that choose to join the Xbox community. Now that Microsoft has actually gone public with exclusive games and real-time gameplay, partnerships with the NFL to bring football and unique camera angles to the home of Xbox owners sounds pretty legit. The NFL is just one of a number of partners committed to bringing a fantastic outlet to their services exclusive to the Xbox community. The fact that Xbox One utilizes and connects with most cable providers brings a new feeling of connectivity, and the expanded use of the Kinect is as close to Minority Report as Microsoft could safely get; in a good way.

Lets not forget about the massive 300,000 server cloud service. You will see a lot of the top games getting dedicated servers, it will take away host advantage, make games run smoother, not only for online play but also for games who use it to offload some of the work. This will allow for better graphics and effeciency.  Which also brings us to the Xbox One controller, This controller has been updated and shares information 15% faster then the xbox 360 controller. Your movements can be captured more in real time, then ever before.  The controllers effeciency will make buying the Xbox One more appealing and a noticable difference when people play on it.  As a online gamer, this is a must have.

 

The previously stated hands free use and accessibility also expands the world of gaming. With the Kinect 2.0, families can give commands with the system recognizing individual voices. The lack of this ability was a problem on Xbox 360 because the Kinect allowed friends to freely troll and interfere with what the owner, or active player, was trying to do on the console. Kinect won’t be required in the play of all games, but the new updated device will allow for developers to implement the accessory into mainstream games more regularly and fluidly; from a simple “pause” command to interactive gameplay.

Revealing an arsenal of exclusive titles, and a spew of titles that will appear on two of the three major home consoles, Xbox One will offer gamers an extraordinary gaming experience, along with innovative and unique connectivity perks that are exclusive to Xbox. Digital Rights Management, mandatory online connection, and a $500 price tag is easy to complain about, but really, it’s much ado about nothing.
