The Console
Although the Xbox One isn’t as powerful as the PlayStation 4 from a technical specifications standpoint, gamers will still have one of the most impressive experiences and possibly the best this holiday. The liquid black Xbox One finish console includes an 4K-ready HDMI cable, power supply, 500GB hard drive, slot load Blu-ray drive (first time for Microsoft), three USB 3.0 Super Speed ports, a chat headset and of course the Xbox One controller among other things. The new Xbox One Kinect is also included with the console, which is why it will be the most expensive gaming machine on the market this holiday season at $499. The XB1 Kinect is the main selling point from Microsoft this holiday season due to the updated dashboard for instant switching having no lag or wait time between programs and apps within the system. The Red Ring Of Death and overheating issues have finally been resolved after nearly a decade of worries whether imminent console failure will occur before a major release happens.
