Going to be released this year, no comments on when roughly but further info coming at E3.

DLC for COD exclusively available 1st on Xbox One, that'll sell a few extra.

OH MY GOD I FIGURED OUT HOW THEY CAME UP WITH THE NAME

"So, we have this new Xbox."
"Yes."
"It's an all-in-one entertainment system.
"Of course."
"So how do we name it?"
"I KNOW! It's an 'all-in-one' console, so how about when people think all in One, they think Xbox One! It's all things entertainment in One box!"
"Brilliant, Jim. Simply genius."

And there was that one guy who thought essentially making the name a pun was fucking stupid. He was probably fired or locked in a dungeon.

Come on man, we've been through this. XD

"We didn't want to do the safe thing" -----> announces Call of duty 39. Did anyone else cringe at that irony!?!?

I am somewhat relieved though, to be honest. Sony and MS didn't offer anything so I won't need to touch their systems for at least a year. New Smash bros and misc games that fly under the radar will have to do for now.

If they want to be an all-in-one entertaiment system for everyone, they have to offer much content for europe, too. Many things they announced seems to be US only like e.g the NFL-partnership, ESPN features or Netflix. I doubt that there will be e.g. these fantasy league features for the Bundesliga or the Premier League.

Haha.. my friend came up with the idea that they wanted to declare themselves "winners" of last generation, thus being number "one".

I personally believe some suit in a boardroom stood up and said "we can't acknowledge the PS3, it sucked, so Xbox 3 is now off the table"

You really can't glean much rationality out of these conferences in general. >.<

The really weird thing, in my opinion, is offering an "all in one" entertainment solution in a market where SO many already exist - really solid ones, too! We're not lacking them at all - Smart tvs, the -current- consoles, media centers, wireless sharing servers - there's just so many solutions that to insist "we have the best one" seems so naive. It doesn't feel trustworthy..

I was just wandering that is online features still going to cost after all that social talk? Only thing I though was great was Remedy exclusive but I'll just wait couple years for PC release instead of getting shitty console with kinectTM ;_;

Guess Microsoft is REAALLLLY keen on their squares, rectangles and boxes. First Windows 8, now Xbox One. In a few years, I swear they'll change the Xbox controller to a cube or something :P
