The Xbox One is really looking like an amazing system. From every aspect. Games, multimedia  and socially.

1. $499 gets you a full blown Dev kit. Making a full mod comunity a real posibility for the first time in console history.

2.Massive focus on core gamers. Hugely varied first year lineup. Big budget AAA games.

3. Not only is the console a dev kit, but comes with 3 different control methods out of the box at no extra cost.

4. Powerful insides with the ability out of the box to take advantage of Cloud rocessing as that becomes moree and more accessible over the next 2-3 years.

5. The ability to handle true multitasking and instant switching.

6. Innovations like pulse triggers on the controller and a revolution in rumble feedback.

7. HDMI in/out. Big possibilities here through software.

8. Xbox Live Arcade. Its untouchable, especially now dev kits are available to everyone. Microsofts investment into XBLA games like Brothers : A Tale of Two sons is incredible. XBLA has so many higgh budget exclusives this gen and next.

9. XBL ecosystem and  userbase.

10. HAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLOOOOOOO

$499 the extra cost is included in the price. MS has said the X1 is so expensive due to kinect.

$499 for a devkit, Kinect, Controller, Smartglass function and suddenly the Xbox One is to cheap

Sadly it's not coming to my country (Switzerland) this holiday, because of the translation of the dashboard and Kinect. The "interesting" part is that Switzerland has 3 official languages, which are German, French and Italian, and the X1 IS being released this holiday in Germany, France and Italy...



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

i will when halo 5 comes out, but since the lastest news of not having to have the kinect connected to play on the xbo, i dont see why not at some point. to me it seems more likely of happening before halo 5 is released. who knows at this point.

I think it will split te demographic. So they wont do that. Same as Wii Mote on Wii was.

Considering what you get in the box ( dev kit, controller, headset, Kinect ) The price is amazing. Normally devkits cost $10,000 +.

I'll be looking forward to an Xbox One next year in time for Halo.
