*Xbox One: Entertainment Hub First, Gaming Console Second -- But Could It

Disrupt TV?*

Microsoft may have been the last of the major console makers to announce

their next generation system but they certainly didnÂ’t disappoint - that

is, depending on whom you ask. Leading up to the reveal, many believed

Microsoft would position the next generation system as a device designed to

be as much of an entertainment hub as a gaming system.

 

After watching the Xbox One unveiling, however, IÂ’m inclined to believe

that most got it wrong. Given the OneÂ’s heavy focus on live television,

itÂ’s easy to envision how Microsoft may have figured out a way to transform

the Xbox from a gaming console that also handles media into a home

entertainment hub that just happens to play video games.

 

Thank you.
