Camera sets Xbox One apart
Print Edition
Xbox One, Microsoft’s latest game console, arrives in North America and Europe this month. To gamers, Xbox means cutting-edge adventures such as “Halo” and “Gears of War,” and well as the brand that brought online competition to the masses through Xbox Live.
But Microsoft wants you to think of Xbox One as more than a game machine. You can use it to watch movies on Netflix and Hulu Plus. You can hook it up to your cable box to watch live TV. You can Skype your grandma and share family photos.
Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are state-of-the-art game machines, and for some, the difference will come down to price. At US$500, the Xbox One costs US$100 more.
The most significant distinction is the re-engineered Kinect camera that’s packaged with every Xbox. It lets you use voice commands and gestures to navigate on-screen menus and some apps.
On the PS4, a similar camera sells for US$60, but Sony’s pitching it as an accessory rather than an essential part of the experience.
