Tonight live from Redmond WA, USA Microsoft delved into the new generation. Xbox One was revealed as the new consoles official title quashing the 720 and Infinity rumours. Rather than tease gameplay like Sony viewers were treated to the hardware straight off the bat along with the new systems architecture which has to be said looks impressive.

One rumour that did prove to be accurate was the built in new and upgraded Kinect. Now Kinect runs in true 1080p and with all new levels of depth and perception and with the new power of the Xbox One running such a device multitasking takes a matter of milliseconds.
Xbox also showed their new controller which along with your face the new Kinect also recognises the new pad which opens the many more options for gameplay innovations. The pad itself is almost the duplicate of the 360 pad with a revamped battery pack to make the pad more accessible to gamer’s hands of all ages. It also boasts more accurate precision D-Pad and analogue sticks another interesting upgrade is that feedback will be sent directly from the triggers.
