Yeah, this was already a somewhat hollow word on their part being that most (now sounds like all?) "exclusives" were coming to Windows already.
A+ lol

Didn't they said 2-3 times on E3 that XO games will be exclusive to XO and sometimes to 360 and PC?

I dont call that exclusivity

We talked about this in the chat but yeah...
I was getting the PS4 because the majority of my friends were getting it from launch and I'm the type of person who goes where my friends go. I said though that I would probably get a Xbox One at a much later date for the exclusives but... why would I now?

Thus the quotations on "Exclusives"

Dashboard Demo

Spoiler: show

Since we unveiled Xbox One in May as the all-in-one games and entertainment system, we’ve been highlighting all the great games coming at launch and beyond. We’ve talked about the award-winning Titanfall – an Xbox platform and PC exclusive; shared content exclusives we’ll have from hit titles like Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4; discussed new features from hotly anticipated titles like Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse: Son of Rome, and Dead Rising 3; and highlighted cross-platform blockbusters like Destiny, Watch Dogs, and Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag.

We’ve talked about how Xbox One was designed for gamers – with the most active multiplayer community and new features like Smart Match, Game DVR and Upload that will continue to make the Xbox Live community the best place to play and connect with other gamers. We also talked about our shared vision with key gaming entertainment partners like Twitch and Machinima that will take your gaming experience to a level not available anywhere else.

We’re proud of our Xbox One games line-up. And we’re proud of the innovative features we’re delivering to make gaming great on Xbox One. Today, we’re adding to the story – and sharing how Xbox One is as good at TV & entertainment as it is at gaming. Because we know gamers love both.

As we head toward Nov. 22, we’re showcasing the all-in-one capabilities of Xbox One. This is the real Xbox One in action. Corporate Vice President of Marketing and Strategy, Yusuf Mehdi, and Chief Product Officer Marc Whitten show the best of Xbox One in this new video. And, you can see 10 of our favorite new features below.

#1 – Unleashing the Power of Your Voice

A simple voice command turns on your Xbox One, your TV, your set-top box and your AV system because Kinect for Xbox One is an Infra-Red blaster. And when you say “Xbox On,” your game is always ready to resume from wherever you left off. You can start playing your favorite game, find your favorite show, change channels, turn up the TV volume and more – with the sound of your voice, powered by Bing voice recognition technology. Just say “Xbox, go to ESPN” and your TV will change directly to the ESPN channel. Or, “Xbox, go to Hulu Plus,” “Xbox, Volume Up,” “Xbox, Mute,” "Xbox, go to Music” – it’s simple. Kinect “talks to” your TV, set-top box and AV receiver, making it easier than ever to navigate entertainment in your living room.

#2 – Biometric Sign In

Kinect can recognize you and instantly log you into your personalized home screen. Your favorite games, shows, TV channels, movies, albums, Skype contacts, recently-played apps and more can be pinned right to your home page – so you can find everything you love quickly. Biometric sign in and personalization extends to everyone in your house – each person has a home screen tailored just for them.

#3 – Instant Resume and Instant Switching

We’ve talked about instant switching before, but now you can see it for yourself in action. The video showcases how quickly you can jump from one experience to another and right back where you left off. You can literally jump from a game to live TV, music, movies, sports, Web sites and back again in seconds, just by using your voice.

#4 – Watch Live TV via Xbox One

Xbox One lets you watch live TV from your HDMI-compatible cable or satellite box, making it easy to switch from games to live TV – all with the sound of your voice, and without having to switch TV inputs. No more multiple remotes, missed multiplayer matches while you’re watching TV, or frustrating delays. Just connect your set top box to your Xbox One and you can watch live TV through your Xbox One.

#5 – Get a Multiplayer Invite, while you are Watching a movie or live TV

Imagine never missing a multiplayer invite, or an epic game battle while engrossed in a movie or TV episode. With Xbox One, TV and games are not separate. You can be watching your favorite show, the big game, or a movie like "Star Trek Into Darkness," and still receive an invite to play a game with your friends. You will always be connected to your gaming community and with features like Smart Match and reputation management in Xbox One, you don’t have to choose between your games and entertainment.

#6 – Game DVR and Upload Studio Let You Record and Share Your Greatest Moments

Imagine you’re in the middle of an intense race or a battle and you want to record this ultimate gaming moment. With Game DVR on Xbox One, you can capture your greatest moments, add your own creative touch with Upload Studio and share with your friends. By simply saying “Xbox, record that” your gameplay is recorded. Or, you can take advantage of a five-minute buffer that’s constantly recording in case something remarkable happens and you weren’t expecting it. With the Upload Studio, you can turn your gameplay footage into a work of art, record a taunt over the segment, add a skin and share it with your friends.

#7 – Do Two Things at Once

You can also choose to snap two experiences together – so you can play a game while you watch TV or listen to Xbox Music. Or, watch the big NFL game while you manage your fantasy football team. For gamers, snapping Machinima opens up a whole new world of opportunity. Just by saying “Xbox, Snap Machinima,” the Machinima app will be snapped next to “Dead Rising 3” or your favorite game, and walk-throughs, game reviews, help videos and more will appear.

#8 – Skype on the Big Screen, With Groups and Free Long Distance

Skype is amazing on Xbox One, offering the only big screen experience with Group Video Chat with up to four people. Kinect is the only camera in the world that will follow the caller and pan and zoom automatically as if you had your own camera man. You can talk with your friends while surfing the Web or checking the latest stats of a sports team. And have full 1080p video calls for one-to-one chats on your TV. 1

#9 – OneGuide Delivers Personalized Guide to TV, Apps and More

Xbox One has its own TV listings guide that can be navigated with your voice. Say “Xbox, what’s on Discovery Channel?” and boom, there you have the list of shows. Call out your favorite TV show by name and start watching it instantly. And, Xbox One is the only system that brings together your favorite TV channels and entertainment app channels into one screen. Create your own personal Favorites in OneGuide, so you can easily choose what you want to watch – whether it’s on Fox, CBS, NBC, ESPN, Hulu Plus or the NFL on Xbox One app. For the first time you don’t have to juggle multiple screens across cable TV, video streaming services and other entertainment apps to quickly find the entertainment you’re looking for.

#10 – Xbox SmartGlass Enhances Gaming in New Way

You can use the Xbox SmartGlass app for Xbox One to stay connected with the Xbox Live community to check your Achievements and game progress, watch Game DVR clips and message your friends in the living room or on the go. Xbox SmartGlass can be used to navigate the Home screen, search, or browse the web. And, on Xbox One, Xbox SmartGlass displays game help and hints during gameplay and can support up to 16 devices at one time across your favorite games and entertainment. You can also search the entire Xbox catalog and pin content so it’s waiting for you when you turn on your console. The Xbox SmartGlass app is a free download for Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, iOS and Android devices and will be available on Nov. 22.

Today we’re sharing the very first wave of some of the biggest names in entertainment, coming to Xbox One, including Netflix, Hulu Plus, Machinima and Twitch. Just like on Xbox 360, new apps will be rolling out on a regular basis. Check out the full list of partners launching throughout this spring by region here.

If you’re ready for the complete, all-in-one games and entertainment system, we’re just mere weeks away. Xbox One launches Nov. 22.

1 For 1080p video call, both users must have compatible HD displays, web cams, messaging clients, and broadband internet.

Specific features and content may vary by market and may change over time. Some features, including online multiplayer, Skype, Game DVR, Upload Studio, Xbox SmartGlass, and Internet Explorer, require Xbox Live Gold membership.

We Have Apps, too

Offering more entertainment options has always been important to Xbox fans. For years, we’ve been working with leading entertainment brands and TV providers to offer our customers a wide variety of live and on-demand entertainment. Today we unveiled the complete Xbox One experience – showcasing how Xbox One delivers the best games and multiplayer features, along with your favorite movies, music, sports and live TV experiences – all in one place.

“We set out to make Xbox One the all-in-one games and entertainment hub for your home. The one system that offers the best games next to the best entertainment experiences and apps,” said Marc Whitten, Xbox Chief Product Officer. “Along with offering a stellar app portfolio from around the world, Xbox One takes the next step by offering them in a way that is seamless and easy to use.”

In addition to delivering live TV in every market where Xbox One will be sold, we are also bringing premium, voice and gesture controlled TV and entertainment apps specifically designed for your living room. These apps have been built from the ground up uniquely for Xbox One and are designed to harness the power of the all-in-one platform. For example, Xbox One is empowering partners to bring media achievements and exclusive Snap experiences, as well as many other things to entertainment apps, offering everybody the opportunity to achieve badges or rewards for the media they consume in addition to gaming.

Something truly unique we’re doing with Xbox One is bringing together your favorite TV channels and entertainment app channels into one screen. Xbox One is also the only games and entertainment system that enables HDMI pass through. You can create your own personal Favorites in OneGuide – the Xbox One electronic program guide – so you can quickly and easily choose what you want to watch, whether it’s a TV channel like CBS, NBC or ESPN, or something inside an app like Xbox Video, Hulu Plus or the NFL on Xbox One. You can even add your personal photos and videos from the SkyDrive app to your OneGuide Favorites.

Additionally, a Bing search for TV, movies, games, or music scans across all apps to find exactly what you’re looking for, instead of having to hunt through each app individually. For the first time, you don’t have to juggle multiple screens across cable TV, video streaming services and other entertainment apps to quickly find the entertainment you’re looking for.

**Doombear** · 2013-11-08 14:40

Well duh, it is obvious that the PS4 hacked the hacking gameplay segment. Also, I am coming to terms with the fact that the look at the dash and walkthrough above actually stirred a little hype in me for X1. Now if only a game would come out that made me want one.

Starting to wonder if the sheer hugeness of that thing is simply to keep it cool. Look how long your cable boxes are on, some people NEVER turn those things off. If they haven't figured out by now how to keep these from overheating well... shit.

**Xantavia** · 2013-11-09 07:49

Looks like target done messed up. Supposedly multiple people received the Xbone today and were able to get online with it. Early reports is MS has console banned them.

**6souls** · 2013-11-09 10:06

My brother was telling me that a bunch of Gopher football players that had purchased XBones received theirs yesterday.

**Damane** · 2013-11-09 10:38

Either way you look at this. $500+ brick down the hole.

Because current Gen looks like ass compared to PC and the new consoles close the gap... somewhat.

Hopefully they get unbanned on release day?

No reason to punish the customer, for a retailers fuck up

**Merovingian** · 2013-11-09 13:52

I always wondered what do they do to retailers that do something like this?

At the same time, the customers should definitely know better. Who in their right mind would go online with the console prior to launch to risk potential banning?

The same kind of people dumb enough to buy a launch day Xbox One?

**Azull** · 2013-11-09 14:47

Logic would say they would be unbanned but Microsoft and Logic don't seem to go hand and hand as of late

Sometimes nothing, sometimes the retailer (or sub-store) gets blacklisted, sometimes an employee or two gets fired, and probably very rarely if ever some legal action. Street dates are kind of a merchant honor code and not so much a law. Though that might've changed since my folks ran their video store a couple decades back.

**Xantavia** · 2013-11-09 17:27

Even more messed up about this, last I saw is he wasn't banned for using the machine or going online. Instead, MS filed a copyright claim against the unboxing video he made and posted on Youtube. For a system where they seem to be promoting online sharing, to punish a guy for using a crappy celphone to film himself opening something he bought while acting like a little kid on Christmas morning. Microsoft once again knows nothing about good PR it seems.
