It wants to do it all with Kinect, the camera controller that’s included in every box, letting you use voice commands to control everything. And sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it’s magical, sometimes it’s inept; [b][u]Xbox One is the Ron Weasley of consoles.[/b][/u][/quote][url=http://www.polygon.com/a/xbox-one-review][b]Polygon: 8/10[/b][/url] [quote]The Xbox One is an impressive marriage of software and hardware that raises the bar in terms of what we expect from a living-room machine. Looking forward more than it looks back, the Xbox One feels like it's from the future.[/quote][url=http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/20/5117320/microsoft-xbox-one-review][b]The Verge: 7.8/10[/b][/url] [quote]It may not only supplement, but replace your cable box; it could have a rich, full app store; games are only going to get better, more impressive, and more interactive. The blueprints are all here. Virtually everything Microsoft is trying to do is smart, practical, and forward-thinking — even as they've undone some of the Xbox One's most future-proof innovation over the last few months, Marc Whitten and his team at Microsoft have clearly kept their heads in the future.[/quote][url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-xbox-one-hardware-test][b]Eurogamer[/b][/url] [quote]There are some great ideas here, then, but we've had just a small glimpse of what the machine is capable of. Cool functions like resuming gameplay from standby are flaky, while the centrepiece of the media experience - full integration with live TV - just isn't there yet outside of Microsoft's home market. It's coming, but we have no idea when. The core of what's left, beyond some neat features, is very much a games machine: one whose capabilities are proven, but which remains considerably more expensive than PlayStation 4.[/quote][url=http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/11/xbox-one-review-more-than-a-game-console-less-than-a-living-room-revolution/][b]Ars Technica[/b][/url] [quote]In short, buy an Xbox One if and when there are enough exclusive games to convince you it's worth the expense. At that point, the extra media features that the Xbox One brings to the table will be nice fringe benefits, and these options may be more stable and usable than they are right now. If you can live without those platform exclusives, though, and if you can do without fancy picture-in-picture and voice commands, look into saving some money on a PlayStation 4 instead.[/quote][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y51zatx9qs][b]Rev3[/b][/url] [quote]It's a video.[/quote][url=http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/20/microsoft-xbox-one-review/][b]Engadget[/b][/url] [quote]The Xbox One may not be exactly what Microsoft thinks it is, but it's still a strong start for a powerful game console. Its sheer speed, versatility, horsepower and its ability to turn on and off with words make it a relatively seamless entry into our already crowded media center. What determines whether it stays there is the next 12 months: Exclusives like Titanfall and Quantum Break will help, as will gaining feature parity with the competition (we're looking at you, game broadcasting!). For broader success beyond just the early adopter's living room, the NFL crowd must buy in to Microsoft's $500 box. But will they? That remains to be seen. What's there so far is a very competent game box with an expensive camera and only a few exclusive games differentiating it from the competition.[/quote][url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/20/xbox-one-review][b]IGN: review in progress[/b][/url] [quote]Just watch the videos.[/quote][url=http://finance.yahoo.com/news/review-xbox-one-great-game-045945460.html][b]Associated Press[/b][/url] [quote]However you decide to control it, though, the Xbox One is a versatile, powerful machine that should be able to deliver inventive high-definition games for a long time. Between it and the PlayStation 4, the new generation of gaming is off to a roaring start.[/quote]
