In preparing the big reveal for the next Xbox, it seems Microsoft forgot all about how the current one works, because reports from Twitter show that a lot of people ran into problems today when they tried to watch the show on their Xbox 360.
It seems that for some folks, every time an executive said something like "Xbox" or "Xbox Live", those with a Kinect experienced issues like having the stream paused or being kicked out of it altogether, because they're the same terms the peripheral uses for its voice commands.
Obviously that was the point. Next gen kinect will only accept your commands if it recognizes your face and voice, so these kind of things will be avoided! A revolutionary ruse exclusive to xbox.

Ubisoft: Assassin's Creed 4, Watch Dogs, plus at least Six Other Titles Coming to XOhttp://gematsu.com/2013/05/watch-dog...d-for-xbox-oneUbisoft has confirmed Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, previously confirmed for current-gen systems, PC, and PlayStation 4, for launch on Xbox One.

The company said it will also bring “at least six next-gen games” to Xbox One within its first year, including “a mix of new episodes of existing franchises, new IPs and digital titles.”
This console doesn't have me even remotely hyped as a gamer... The only thing that sparked my interest was the Halo TV show by Steven Spielberg.
Man the Specs on that thing look so abysmal as compared to a regular Mid-end PC. I bet the 500GB HD is 7200 RPM lol...
xbox is huge like xbox
It supports external drives so that's a silver lining or something. Although that's just another thing that has to be plugged into your 'all in one' gaming console.
Describes how I feel about the whole thing.
Only thing them's good for anymore is cheap RAID setups. More importantly though, 500GB? I have 1TB hard drives just Laying around the house collecting dust.
so, lets get this out there. They didn't want to name the 360 Xbox 2 because it sounded like it was lesser than a PS3, but now PS4 is coming out, they will call this one Xbox One?
