“With the Xbox one, Microsoft’s big goal is to take over the living room and become the quote ‘one’ box you need for everything. Thus, given the name. So they’ve done a lot of things to promote the idea that TV, watching movies, and watching sports and listening to music is going to be a big part of what Xbox One is. […] Microsoft is trying to ‘future proof’ this. They want it to be the one box you need for the next decade or so. They make sure they have all the fancy technology in there.”

“Well that’s the big gamble, you always want to control the living room space and everything that’s going through it. They are doing a lot to make this a system that people want to play with and want to use beyond video games. This presentation really focused on the games[…] there are also going to be a lot of social features that you can use including on the new dual shock 4 controller which will replace all the Playstation 3 controllers, there is a share button you can press and you can press that and you can share out any game playing that you’re doing, and post those clips directly to Facebook, OR you can stream them out through u stream and people can watch you play live.” - Marty Hess from PixelRated.com
