Xbox One replaces not only the old console, but the old media centre as well, providing a single point of entertainment and communications for the family.
The HDMI input will allow users to watch satellite, cable or IPTV through their consoles and give them a richer, more interactive experience from otherwise ‘static’ television.
Users can now use their smartphone or tablet to navigate live TV or switch between multitasking apps, as well as use voice recognition and motion gestures to navigate content.
The controller has been dramatically revised to ensure that the directional pad, thumb stick and ergonomic fit have all been enhanced. Precision and control have been dramatically increased and the control also offers new vibrating impulse triggers.
