Forums - Microsoft - XBOX ONE. Multitasking. 15 exclusives in year 1, 8 of them are new IP's. Halo mini series (Spielberg), NFL deal. FIFA and COD exclusive content.

The next Xbox (I don't like saying Xbox One) will do everything that I want it to do.

- Seemless multitasking where you can go from any app to TV to games with a few words and they all pause until you get back to them. This is just an incredible feature

You do realise that "fast task switching" actually means the task has to be in the ram (together with what the guy said about "multiple OSes") ? Load a few applications and see your available ram melt away...

8GB is more than enough to handle all of that. The graphics already look significantly better than this gen and that's just the beginning of the generation.

I have literally no worries in this department.

I just love that it has a bluray drive. Every xbox manufactured, actually even prior the the manufacturing process, Sony gets paid lol.

Also lol@microsoft fans already on the defensive. "It's all about multimedia right now, E3 is for games."

That's weird, I could have sworn Sony was all about games in February lol.

All in all, lackluster presentation, exactly as I predicted. Nothing but multimedia apps, multiplatform titles and of coarse the typical "limited exclusivity deals" that microsoft buys due to lacking actual software content. Right now it's all about the PS4. Seeing rendered teaser trailers for forza and quantum whatever... not gonna cut it.

Looks much better there than in the flesh unfortunately, the controller handles look odd to me, other than that I do like the style they're going for, I think PS4 will be very similar actually.

Meh the Xbox division still profits more.

But as gamerz, MS stole a Sony exclusiv!



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I don't think this has been discussed... why Xbox One?


Because it's pronounced Xbox Won. :p

So I didn't get to watch the event, any word on Illumiroom?



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

I wander if they made on purpose the console the same size and width as standard home electronics like stereos, surround systems and Blue-ry players and stuff?

It looks kinda fugly with those sharp angles, but it could be a smart move to have that classic ever-green stereo design. Unlike past consoles it might never look really obsolete.



Conegamer on 21 May 2013

Don't know if it's been posted but the Xbox reveal is the top story on the BBC News website and all the "what others are reading" at IGN are Xbox-related.

This did the trick, then.
