Xbox One Specs

Name – Xbox One

Release Date – Worldwide distribution by the end of the year

Processor and Graphics – 8-core x 86 processor. It compromises in both speed and power with a GPU, CPU and ESRAM. Is capable of producing the 1080p at 30fps and does 3D as well. You can split the screen and multitask, for example play a game and surf the web.

Controllers – One of the best controllers around. It has new impulse triggers, which deliver a more precise

feedback. It has a better design for improved precision and comfort.

Kinect – It has been completely re-engineered so it could adapt to all the new improvements. “It’s more precise. More responsive. More intuitive.” The new Kinect is not only better than its predecessor in more than one way, it lets you control the size of the windows, for example if you are watching a film and want to minimize the window so you can check something else, you merely need to make a motion with your hands and it complies.  

Storage and Blu-Ray – No longer uses HD-DVD. Blu-Ray allows Xbox One to handle next-gen games. You will be able to storage Blu-ray films and games in your standard 500 GB mechanical hard disk.

DRM and Used Games – Apparently there is two schools of thought regarding DRM (Digital Rights Management). One is that if you install a game your home console, than you can’t lend it to a friend, because the game will be lock to your console and can only be played there. The second and the most reasonable is that it will be up to the publishers if they wish to lock their game or content like DLC to a specific single console. So if you are going to by a second hand game for Xbox One, make sure it wasn't previously installed on another console.

Speech Recognition – This is probably one of the coolest things (if it works properly) of the new Xbox. It doesn’t matter if your neighbors think you are insane, you can now give orders to your console, like turn tv on and it will comply, very sci-fi.

Illumiroom –It will use a projector to send effects around your room, creating a more immersive experience. But the company announced that the first public demo will only take place in July, so it’s an uncertainty whether it will come as standard with the console or it will be an extra like Kinect.Check the demo below.

Price – So far no one knows, Microsoft is probably waiting for PS4 to come out so they can decide, but even so they should retail for about 400 dollars, without taxes.
