Earlier this week Microsoft announced its newest next-gen console to the Xbox family “Xbox One“ Considering how Microsoft was the first to launch a new console during the last gaming generation cycle, it comes as a shock to most casual and hardcore gamers that the leader in the gaming market would be the last out the gate this time around. The Xbox One comes across looking a bit prehistoric with its VCR design, but packs some new school specs to live up to the challenge. along with being able to keep you entertain with features like TV integration voice-control, & chat the Xbox one also offers a 8-core CPU/GPU, 8GB RAM, a Blu-ray drive, a 500GB HDD, USB 3.0, and Wi-fi Direct. It also comes with a redesigned controller and a 1080p Kinect. ($TBA)
