Xbox One - Updates - Microsoft follow the gamers desires!

Within the last few hours, it is safe to say that Microsoft has finally listened to their audience and have decided to scrap two of their hugely controversial plans.

1) The always on internet connection is now gone. So you will not be restricted by poor internet or the lack of it.

2) You can trade games! They have completely backtracked on this and decided to keep it the way it was and is supposed to be.

Now we have to wonder if the console will also drop in price as they remove the encroaching Kinect device. However, this is just a thought and cannot be considered fact for the moment but does lead up to believe that they had this planned from the start.

New Xbox ConsoleReveal 2013! #XboxReveal

Here it is guys. The New XBOX ONE. Not Druango or 720, just One.

After watching the event, I felt a little underwhelmed. After trouble connecting to the event and the constant stream of traffic which was abusing it like Chris Brown on Rihanna. I couldn't focus on the whole show and missed some informative sections.






But here is what I am aware of:
  • The console defiantly involves Blu-ray
  • Editing tools for captured gameplay
  • Skype connectivity
  • A load of new engine and graphic work
  • 300,000 servers for Xbox Live
Much like Playstation; Microsoft are holding back the nitty gritty of the Xbox and will give far more indepth knowledge at this years E3 event.

Personally, I look at this console and worry that it has taken a step back. The shell has formed into a brick or desktop computer and the accessories are blending with it. It doesn't look as sleek and as aggressive that the Xbox Elite or its more recent counterparts.

Will it be compatible with my headset, game recorder and backwards compatible with the Xbox 360 games without restricting saves and additional content. Will Xbox games now be made for One or will they land it both courts?

I guess we will have to wait for E3 and get some real information about "The new generation of gaming"
