• The biggest blockbuster games including FIFA 14, Forza Motorsport 5, Dead Rising 3, Titanfall and Call of Duty: Ghosts
  

• An innovative and interactive vision for home entertainment, giving you the ability to personalise what you’re viewing and how you’re watching it through voice commands. You’ll never need a remote control again
  

• Through the new and powerful Kinect sensor your console will respond to your gestures, from hand movements to the blink of an eye – it can even alter your games based on your heartbeat
  

• Internet browsing and the largest on-demand library of TV, movies, music and games

No longer do you need a huge living room for Kinect to work properly, it now works much better in smaller environments.

The Xbox one is impressive and will definitely be a very well received by any gamer or entertainment fan alike.
