My Xbox one was way better than this piece of s***. It won’t download any of my games, it doesn’t load fast at all. I’m very upset that I bought this new Xbox thinking it was going to be better, but it turned out to be worse. One person found this helpful.

Apparently the one I received was not packaged a sealed box. 5 out of 11 people found this helpful. Total disapointment! This horrible console, takes its time (30-45 minutes) to copy a game from the disk to its internal drive (aka. install), then it wants to download the updated version of said game, so another 20-50gb download, and about another 30 minutes to 2 hours more of, you guessed it MORE waiting! Then to play said game, the original disk must be in the machine. Also, of the 500gb disk, only about 300gb is available, so that means, you can ONLY have about 5-7 high end games installed at a time. only 1 controller and no kinect. One person found this helpful. Don't waste your money if you want Kinect. Posting this on your Xbox One S from the Kinect Product Reviews. I'm so disappointed that I can not find the words to describe it. I switched from being a loyal playstation fan to Xbox because my kids wanted one so badly. All they wanted this year was a kinect for their Xbox One S. I was waiting for chirstmas, so I went and got one from Gamestop as well as a bunch of the kinect games they had been asking for so badly. I find out now that it is all useless, I waited patiently hoping I would see it open up in the store, it's the holidays I told myself. Thank you for ruining my children's gift, they will need to get used my playstation after a stunt like this. You have definitely lost my respect and business. PS. those thieves selling them for $300+ on Ebay are disgusting, so is Gamestop for selling your kinect products without telling me it would be useless. this is the upgrade the 360 deserved. this is what the xbox one should have been from the start. 5 out of 8 people found this helpful.

Microsoft Xbox One S review: Xbox One S is the best Xbox you might not want to buy. Xbox One S is the best Xbox yet. The Xbox One S is the most feature-filled console Microsoft has ever made, but that doesn't mean you should buy it. by Jeff Bakalar. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15. Microsoft Xbox One S (1TB) 7 Related Models. Hot Products. Apple iPhone X. Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Google Home Mini. Google Pixel 2 XL. The Good The Xbox One S is a slick looking game console that's 40 percent smaller than the original and ditches the infamously gigantic power brick. It can display 4K video from streaming services and Ultra HD Blu-rays, and supports HDR contrast on video and games. The updated controller works with other Bluetooth devices, too. The Bad 4K, Ultra HD Blu-ray and HDR settings only work with newer TVs, and may require some trial and error. The updated controller feels cheaper than its predecessor. Project Scorpio, the more powerful Xbox One successor, arrives in late 2017. The Bottom Line The Xbox One S is the console Microsoft should have delivered three years ago, but there's little reason to upgrade if you already own the original box. Review Sections. CNET Gaming Consoles Microsoft Xbox One S. Update 8/4/16: Several spec teardown reports have uncovered slight difference in the graphical hardware performance of Xbox One S. Specifically, Xbox One S has a small GPU clock increase of 914 MHz from 853 MHz and an ESRAM bandwidth increase of 219 GB/s from 204 GB/s. These bumps are only noticeable in-game in a small number of situations. In fact, they exist only as an bonus side effect of Microsoft ensuring HDR content performs without a hitch. This is more like it. The Xbox One S is the version of the console that Microsoft should've first released back in 2013 instead of the lumbering beast that we got. It's better in a number of ways, making it even more of a worthy alternative to Sony's PlayStation 4. Xbox One S offers a far more attractive enclosure, options for a bigger hard drive, a slightly redesigned controller and some video perks for owners of 4K TVs. It starts at $300, £250 or AU$400 for the 500GB version; $350, £300 or AU$500 for a 1TB model; and $400, £350 or AU$549 for 2TB. That last model is available to buy as of today in the US (and includes the vertical stand that otherwise costs $20 when purchased separately in the US), while those with the smaller hard drives will be available later in August, bundled with games such as Madden 17 and Halo. (Additional bundles will follow later in the year -- including a pricier 2TB Gears of War 4 version in October -- and may vary by region.) Sounds like a slam dunk, right? Unfortunately, it's never that simple. The One S doesn't get an across-the-board "buy it now" recommendation for two reasons. First off, it doesn't deliver huge improvements for anyone who already owns an Xbox One. But more importantly, Microsoft has already promised that the next Xbox -- dubbed Project Scorpio -- will be arriving in late 2017 with with the seriously amped-up graphics and VR-ready hardware that audiences are clamoring for. When it's all said and done, the Xbox One S should be primarily viewed as a slimmed-down version of the Xbox One that introduces a mildly updated controller and provisions for 4K display. It's not going to warp you into a state-of-the-art gaming experience. Pragmatically, you're probably better off nabbing an older Xbox One, which are now being sold at fire-sale prices. But if you are getting an Xbox One for the first time, have an interest in the bundled games and aren't saving your pennies for 2017's Project Scorpio, the One S is certainly a good all-round gaming and entertainment deal. What's new in the Xbox One S. There's a short but significant list of improvements and changes to the Xbox One S. Smaller, cleaner design: To start, it's 40 percent smaller, which considering its power supply is now internal, is impressive. It's also stark white, with some slick plastic moldings flanking the entirety of the box. I think it's the best-looking Xbox Microsoft has ever designed. The One S can also stand vertically, too. The 2TB model we received for review packs in a stand. If you buy one of the other models, you can get the stand separately for $20. 4K and HDR video: Xbox One S gets a fairly beefy upgrade on its video capabilities, with 4K resolution (3,840x2,160, or four times as sharp as standard 1080p HDTVs) and HDR (high dynamic range, which is basically enhanced contrast and color). Keep in mind: those features only work on compatible TVs and 4K functionality only works with a small but growing list of compatible video content. 4K can currently be accessed through streaming video services such as Amazon and Netflix (as long as you have the bandwidth to support it and pay for their premium tier) and those new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs. Certain games, meanwhile, will eventually be able to take advantage of HDR visual improvements, but don't look for PC-like 4K graphics -- the games are merely upscaled to 4K. So no, you're not getting native 4K gaming out of an Xbox One S. In fact, only a limited number of games will feature HDR and none of them are out yet. They are Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3 and 2017's Scalebound. New controller design: The Xbox One controller has been updated for the S, too. It has a more streamlined top section, better range and textured grips. It can also use Bluetooth to connect, which opens the door for compatibility with other devices -- no more annoying dongles, at least on Bluetooth-compatible PCs. The One S controller (right), compared with its predecessor. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the new controller's design. It's not a drastic departure from the original, but there's just enough of a change to make it feel cheaper. The plastic textured grips don't feel good the way rubberized ones do, but thankfully the triggers seem unchanged. The D-pad also feels slightly less tactile -- I even noticed differences between two of the new controllers side by side. IR blaster and receiver: Still present is the IR port for controlling the console with a remote, but the Xbox One S also features an integrated IR blaster to control or power on other devices in the room. And it still does everything the old Xbox One does: The good news is that you're not losing anything with the Xbox One S compared with its predecessor. Around back the console offers a lot of the same ports as the original Xbox One, though noticeably absent is a dedicated Kinect port. You can still attach Kinect to the Xbox One S, you'll just need a special $40 (!) adapter. Either way, the omission of a Kinect port should give you an idea of how that peripheral is regarded at Microsoft HQ. HDMI-in and -out ports are still there, so you can still make use of the Xbox One's live TV integration if that's something that appeals to you, but I never found it overly useful. Suffice it to say, the One S plays all existing Xbox One games, and a growing list of Xbox 360 games. It also includes all of the encouraging software improvements Microsoft has made over the past few years, including the redesigned interface, support for the Cortana digital assistant (using a microphone headset), compatibility with the Windows Store and, soon, additional cross-play options with Windows PC gamers on certain titles. 4K and HDR scorecard. I want to personally thank the Xbox One S for introducing me to the hot mess that is the world of 4K and HDR formats. I considered myself fairly fluent in the language of home theater, but I was bewildered at the insane of amount of granularity and confusion that the format is currently plagued with. Hot Products.

Microsoft Xbox One review: Much improved, the Xbox One has hit its stride. Xbox One vs. PS4: How to choose the right console for you. The time to grab an Xbox One or PS4 is right now. Watch this before pulling the trigger on a new video game console. by Jeff Bakalar. Microsoft Xbox One. 6 Related Models. Hot Products. Apple iPhone X. Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Google Home Mini. Google Pixel 2 XL. The Good Microsoft's Xbox One offers impressive graphics and a solid list of exclusive 2015 titles. The Microsoft console currently edges ahead of the PS4 with a better selection of media apps. The console's fall-2015 dashboard update is a noticeable improvement. The console has backward compatibility with around 100 Xbox 360 titles, and that list is poised to grow. The Bad The Xbox One's new interface is still more convoluted than the PS4's. In general, the PS4 delivers slightly better installation times, graphics and performance on cross-platform games. The Xbox One also lags behind the PS4 in its selection of indie games. The Kinect's legacy is still a blemish. The Bottom Line While the PS4 remains our overall preferred choice in the game console race, the Xbox One's significant course corrections and solid exclusives make it a compelling alternative. Review Sections. CNET Gaming Consoles Microsoft Xbox One. With E3 2015 safely in the rearview mirror and the Xbox One's second anniversary fast approaching, we're diving back in the home console pond to take the temperature of the current landscape of videogame consoles. Without a doubt, the Xbox One has gone through the more significant metamorphosis of the two big consoles since their release in November 2013 -- the other being the PlayStation 4. Even before its launch, Microsoft had begun changing the messaging philosophy of the platform, going from a console that heavily relied on DRM to an unshackled experience where owners can trade in and play used games. That was followed up by making the Kinect motion sensor no longer a required part of the system (the no-Kinect bundle is now the default entry-level model). Meanwhile, a lot has been fine-tuned under the Xbox One's hood -- particularly the firmware's functionality (not actual hardware tweaks), which, from a performance and ease-of-use standpoint, is still playing second to Sony's impressively smooth interface. A massive interface update dubbed the "New Xbox One Experience" was released in November 2015 that has improved some of the dashboard's logistics and aesthetics, but it's still hanging on to some lingering frustrations. But more on that later. Overall, Xbox One has had a great 2015 and is home to the best exclusives of the 2015 holiday season. In the short term, Xbox One makes a solid argument for ownership, but do 2016 and beyond look to be just as promising? To be clear, the two consoles are very closely matched. They offer a growing library of third-party games -- mainstays like the Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed and Madden series, as well as newer titles like Fallout 4 and Rainbow Six Siege are all available for both platforms. And both systems double as full-service entertainment systems, with built-in Blu-ray players and streaming services like Netflix, YouTube and Hulu. In our opinion, the PS4 still maintains an edge, with slightly smoother gameplay and a much more straightforward interface. But Xbox harbors a more mature media app ecosystem in the US and a decent list of exclusive titles. Xbox One will continue to have a solid 2015 in terms of exclusive software, but 2016 and beyond aren't as well defined. Editors' note, November 16, 2015 : This review has been updated to reflect the changes to the Xbox One platform including the November 12, 2015, New Xbox One Experience dashboard update. The console's overall score has improved from a 7.7 to an 8 and we've added one point to the design and value subcategories. Xbox One bundles. Xbox One is sold in what feels like a constantly expanding bundle market. In fact, don't buy the console if it doesn't come with at least one game. At any given time the odds are there's a bundle that includes a game that's right for you. For the most part, the Kinect camera-microphone array has been eliminated from bundles, but you can still purchase the original tandem for around $400 or more. Alternately, you can buy the Kinect module separately (usually with a game included) for $150. That said, we really can't recommend Kinect for much of anything. No matter when you decide to buy an Xbox One, odds are you'll find a compelling bundle or discounted special pricing. Major Xbox One exclusive games (available now or soon): - Forza Motorsport 6. - Rise of the Tomb Raider (timed exclusive) - Halo: Master Chief Collection. - Titanfall (also available on PC) Major Xbox One exclusive games due in 2016 and beyond: Xbox One pros. Here are the areas where the Xbox One excels -- and where it occasionally has an edge over the PS4: Media apps. The Xbox One has a slightly better lineup of streaming apps than any other current-generation console. It has roughly twice as many offerings as the PS4. Some notable wins here include Comedy Central, Fox and FX Now, MTV, Bravo Now, NBC, Starz, TED, USA Now, Verizon FiOS TV and Skype (Microsoft-owned) -- none of which are available on PlayStation 4 at the current time. Xbox One is also home to EA Access, a subscription early-access program that gives members a chance to play games a few days before they're released and provides access to a growing list of EA legacy games. Media playback. Xbox One now has a media player app that will play nearly any file format you throw at it -- off a drive or anything discoverable on your home network, like another PC or NAS (network attached storage). The Xbox One media app also lets you customize the dashboard with a custom photo wallpaper. As of June 2015, the PS4 has a media player app too. Kinect advantages. Kinect is an ambitious attempt to integrate voice control and motion gesturing with live TV, interface navigation and some gaming elements. That said, it's definitely taken a backseat in terms of priority. In fact, we don't think Microsoft even said the word "Kinect" at the company's E3 2015 press conference. It's also no longer bundled with a new retail Xbox One. But, if you're still intrigued by its potential, when it works, Kinect technology brings with it an "aha" moment straight out of a sci-fi movie. Kinect lets you change the channel, volume and other items using only your voice. Its problems, however, are documented later in this review. Other features of the Xbox One experience can be accessed or activated with hand gestures and voice commands. You can say, "Xbox, record that," and the console will save the last chunk of gameplay to the hard drive. The list of voice-control triggers is lengthy. Of course, the Kinect is available only in the more expensive $400-and-up Xbox One bundle. However, if you buy the entry-level no-Kinect bundle and decide you want to upgrade, you can buy a standalone Kinect later for $149, £130 or AU$170 (usually bundled with a game). Sarah Tew / CNET. The Xbox One controller. While it's not necessarily what I'd call a vast improvement over the Xbox 360's stellar input device, the Xbox One's controller is a solid and mostly comfortable handheld. Microsoft has totally revamped the problematic D-pad present on the Xbox 360 controller and opted instead for a clicky, tactile pad. Battery life is impressive on the controller, though it takes two AAs as opposed to the DualShock 4's internal rechargeable battery. (You can use your own rechargeables, or invest an extra $25, £19 or AU$30 per controller in Microsoft's Play and Charge Kit.) Microsoft debuted two new controllers around the time of E3 2015: a revamped controller with a 3.5mm headphone port and the Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller ($150/AU$199) which allows players to customize their pad with interchangeable D-pad pieces, analog sticks and triggers. That controller is also available in a bundle with a 1TB solid-state hybrid drive for $500. Both controllers can also be connected to a Windows PC with a Micro-USB cable or wirelessly to a Windows 10 PC with a $25 dongle. Related Links. BYO USB 3.0 storage. The PS4 has an easily accessible and replaceable hard drive, but the Xbox One's drive is not to be messed with. Instead, you can bring your own storage via an external hard drive over a USB 3.0 connection. And because USB 3.0 is faster than the Xbox One's internal stock drive, odds are you may see a slight bump in performance, too. Just make sure your external drive is 250GB or bigger. Cloud-synced game saves. Signing into any other Xbox One will give you access to all of your digital games and their respective game-saves. PS4 owners need to have PlayStation Plus to upload cloud saves, while Xbox One owners can do it without Xbox Live Gold. For what it's worth, the cloud game-saving feature is definitely better on Xbox One. Going from console to console is a much smoother experience. Gold no longer required for basically everything. It took a while, but an Xbox Live Gold membership is no longer needed to access apps like Netflix and Skype. You still need it to play multiplayer games online, but the massive restrictions on other functionality have mostly been lifted. Always-on has a bright side. While the Xbox One's always-on feature has been a point of some contention, jumping right into a game from live TV is nothing short of brilliant. Xbox One will suspend your most recently played game while you watch TV or do other things and when you rejoin your game session it's resurrected with absolutely no loading time. Of course, if you don't use your Xbox One with live TV there's really no reason to keep the console on 24-7, save for receiving updates when you're not using the console. PlayStation 4 added the majority of the functionality described here with a firmware update. Exclusive games and content. Microsoft has secured a number of high-profile exclusive deals for content with third-party games like Evolve and early beta access to a number of games including Tom Clancy's The Division. Xbox One also has a solid roster of exclusive franchises including the Forza, Halo, Fable, and now the Sunset Overdrive and Titanfall series. A more detailed list of exclusives can be found at the top of this review. Xbox Games with Gold. While it debuted with an underwhelming selection of free titles, Xbox's Games with Gold monthly giveaway lets Xbox Live Gold members download two Xbox One games for free. The caliber of these titles has started to improve, but still isn't as impressive as the entire PlayStation Plus package. Hot Products. Apple iPhone X. The best iPhone asks you to think different.

The Madden NFL game download that came with the system does not play without the internet. The associate that helped me with the purchase said that it would play without the internet once it was downloaded. Maybe we are doing something wrong? Can anyone tell me how to make the game work without the internet? I would recommend this to a friend. Great combo! If you're considering Madden NFL 18, this is a great combo if you don't already own an Xbox! 4K, blu-ray, and an entertainment hub all on your 4K tv! Wow factor extreme! I would recommend this to a friend. Great deal for the price. I realize the Xbox One X is coming out but if you want a great deal for a 4K system don't hesitate this week to get this. For $250 you get Madden 18 download code which is a $60 game and also another $60 game of your choice so I pre ordered Forza Motorsport 7. So really the system is only $130. Heck of a deal if you ask me! I would recommend this to a friend. Worth Every Penny. I bought an Xbox360 for my kids last year, and we've enjoyed hours of fun as family with the Kinect and many games. I debated waiting for the Xbox One X, but decided to buy the One S instead, and I'm not disappointed with that decision in the least. The 4K and HDR look amazing on my TV, and the gameplay is extremely smooth. Extras: The free download of Madden 18 made this purchase a no-brainer, but the extras kept coming. I received Forza 5, Battlefield 3, and Ryse: Son of Rome free as part of my Xbox Live membership. I also have Games For Gold, and that gave me several more free titles. A few of the games which I had previously purchased from the Xbox store on the 360 were backwards compatible, and I was able to download those on the new system. I haven't tried out the HD Blu-Ray capability yet, but I will soon., Drawbacks: 1. Uses a huge amount of disk space- If Microsoft were to make a compression utility available in the Xbox store I promise that the number of downloads for said software would crash their server farm. Between the OS, poor native disk management, and bloatware, the 500GB HDD fills up way too quick. I decided to buy a Western Digital 4TB USB HDD for roughly $109, as opposed to the 2TB Seagate they keep right by the Xbox One S displays for roughly the same price. Overall: Worth every penny I paid, and the family is enjoying our gaming together. I would recommend this to a friend. Great 4K system. Got the Xbox for its 4K capability and has work out dreat so far. I would recommend this to a friend. Great bang for your buck! If you're a sports fan looking to upgrade your console, and you're in the market for a 4K blu-ray player. Definitely get an Xbox One S. I would recommend this to a friend. 4k Xbox One S. Fantastic graphics with 4k resolution. Gaming at it best. Comes with this Madden 18 game. Great game ! I would recommend this to a friend. Great value. The Xbox one S is a great value if looking for an all in one Gaming/blu ray player. With a 4k player and a great game library I think this is the must have entertainment system at a great value. 1TB and 500GB Xbox One S bundles arriving Aug. 23 with Madden NFL 17 and Halo Collection.

Microsoft unveils the new Xbox One console at a special event that is streamed online across the globe. Xbox One is presented as an all-in-one entertainment device that must be connected to Kinect and the Internet to operate properly – an approach Microsoft later changes following a backlash from fans. Second Hand Game Lockdown. Rumours suggest that game retailers will be forced to sell second hand games at just a 10% discount on the original RRP. This comes amid speculation from a statement from Microsoft who said that each game will use a code that locks it to the owner’s account – giving the tech giant complete control over the second hand games market. UK price announced at E3. Xbox One and its first batch of games, which include Forza 5 and Ryse, are seen in more detail at E3 2013. A UK launch price of £429.99 is announced. All launch Xbox One bundles are to include a 500 GB console and a Kinect sensor. Xbox One released. Microsoft releases the Xbox in Europe including the UK. Sales skyrocket with Microsoft selling a staggering 3 million consoles before the end of the year. Xbox One gets Twitch-y.

With PS4 price-parity, Xbox One sales significantly improve. White Xbox One enjoys the Sunset. The Sunset Overdrive pack launches as the first Xbox One bundle to feature a white console. In November, a limited edition Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare XBO bundle launches featuring a 1TB hard drive. 10 million Xbox Ones shipped. Microsoft announces that 10 million Xbox One consoles have been sold worldwide. Windows 10 and Xbox One play nice. At a Windows 10 media briefing, Microsoft unveils the deep integration between Xbox One and Windows 10. Xbox One can stream games to PC and tablet over a home network, so gamers can play anywhere in the house. 1TB Xbox One stands alone. Solus 1TB Xbox One consoles are made available for the first time – so all gamers can buy one, not just Call of Duty fans. The 500GB XBO also gets a price cut. XBO learns to play Xbox 360 games. At E3 2015, Microsoft shows off new Xbox 360 compatibility for the Xbox One. The update allows gamers to play disc games and Xbox Live Arcade games, even online. Stream games to tablets and PCs. Microsoft launches update to system that allows users to stream games to Windows 10 tablets and PCs. “With the streaming functionality, not only can you stream games but you can also access your friends, achievements, Party Chat, multiplayer, Snap mode and more. Game streaming is then initiated from the Xbox on Windows 10 app on a PC or tablet in the same home network,” explained the company’s Xbox group. Exclusive external hard drive. Seagate have teamed up with Microsoft to release the first exclusive external hard drive. The 2TB drive features the familiar Xbox green, the official logo and USB 3.0. Transformation for XB1 with new dash. Microsoft release the new Xbox One dashboard, transforming the console’s software. The emphasis is now on community and ease of use. A new interface provides Activity Alerts and App multitasking. Additionally, the Cortana personal assistant from Windows Phone and Windows will take over voice commands and searches. New Xbox Rumours. Rumors abound of a new Xbox (dubbed Xbox 1.5/Xbox 2). With Sony pushing ahead with a 4K PS4, Microsoft need innovation to stay in the game. Whether the new Xbox will introduct new features, or just be a slimmed down, quieter version of the Xbox One (similar to the Xbox 360 rework) remains to be seen. Xbox One S Announced. Microsoft is set to announce their revamped flagship console with the new Xbox One S at E3 2016. The Xbox One S is 40% smaller than XB1 and will feature a 2TB hard drive, support for 4k and high dynamic range. The XBS will also feature a vertical stand and will be supplied with a streamlined controller. Xbox One S launches. The revamped Xbox One, named the S, launches. Smaller in size than the original Xbox One, it nonetheless packed a more impressive punch, with native support for 4K gaming the key improvement that set it apart from the original model. Available in 500GB, 1TB and 2TB versions, the One S has largely replaced the original model One as the standard console, and is typically what is now found in bundles. Anticipation builds for Project Scorpio. Widely expected to compete with the newly released PS4 Pro, Project Scorpio had been shrouded in secrecy. However, with the E3 expo slated as the venue for the unveiling later in 2017, spec rumours and details began to emerge in early 2017. The Scorpio is likely to support 4K gaming natively, with games such as Halo 5: Guardians able to play in their complete, unscaled glory. It also places a greater emphasis on virtual reality gaming, and is rumoured to come with the same internal power unit as the One S. Xbox One X revealed. After months of speculation, the Xbox One X was revealed at E3. 40% more powerful than any other console, the One X supports ultra HD 4K resolutions combined with an incredible framerate of 60fps for certain optimised games. The unprecedented processing power of the One X also means it can bolster existing standard Xbox One games. The One X will retail £449.99, and will launch on November 7th, just before the Black Friday/ Cyber Monday deals season traditionally kicks in. Cross-play with Switch announced. Rocket League for the Nintendo Switch is announced, and with it comes cross-play between the Switch and the Xbox One. Now, friends playing on different console ecosystems will be able to challenge one another. PS4 is not part of the cross-play agreement. The end of the original One. Console Deals exclusively reveal the news that Microsoft have finally run out stock of the original Xbox One and won’t be producing any more. There may still be some cropping up in the odd bundle and on the second hand market, but from here on out, it’s the One S and the One X’s time to shine. Xbox One X sets pre-order records. With its release two months away, the Xbox One X gets off to record-setting pace, becoming the most pre-ordered Xbox ever. The first round of pre-orders sell out worldwide in around 24 hours, with the limited run of Scorpio edition consoles going even faster. Anticipation for the new version of the console mounts, with Forza Motorsport 7 showcasing the full capabilities of the console. PS4 cross-play accidentally arrives. For a brief moment, Xbox One and PS4 users are given the opportunity to see what life would be like if cross-play between the two competing systems was enabled. The makers of Fortnite accidentally enable to feature and allow PS4 and Xbox players to face off against one another, before the mistake is discovered and reversed. Kinect waves goodbye. The Kinect sensor had enjoyed a turbulent history with the Xbox One. Beloved by some, it was never adopted by many games and gradually fell out of favour. Microsoft opted not to include it in One S and One X bundles as they had with the original console. Indeed, the two new versions of the console did away with the Kinect port, meaning an adaptor was required to use it. In October, the company officially declared that Kinect was being discontinued as they moved towards a message focused on dedicated console gamers. The One X Arrives. The Xbox One X, Microsoft’s flagship console and now the most powerful home console ever, launches to strong sales and critical acclaim. Game journalists find the One X is able to comprehensively better its rival the PS4 Pro in several performance categories across some major cross-platform games. Meanwhile, the price of the One S model continues to drop, giving gamers a clearer choice as to which system is best for them. Xbox welcomes PlayerUnknown. Despite a strong year, some industry commentators feel the Xbox One is continuing to be held back by the lack of exclusives available on the system. After 2016, which saw the system get both Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3, there have been fewer exclusives of note in 2017. However, in December there was some light at the end of the tunnel. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, a sensation on PC since its launch earlier in 2017 and one of the most popular games of the year, is released on the 12th as a console exclusive. The battle royale style game may already have a significant audience on PC, but Microsoft’s winning of the rights is a serious coup. Twitter stream. Facebook stream.
