xbox-one-hands-on-review-05

If you were ever lectured by a parent that spending too much time on a gaming console is disastrous for your health, the Xbox One brings redemption in the form of Xbox Fitness. The app went live when the console came out in November last year. For now, it is available for free with a paid Xbox Live Gold membership, the service contains a plethora of workout videos from popular trainers such as Tracy Anderson, Jillian Michaels and P90X. It leverages Kinect to track user’s pulse as well as the energy and tempo during a workout, and uses muscle mapping to ensure the exercises are being performed in the correct way. Microsoft has revealed that it is looking into expanding Xbox Fitness beyond the Xbox One.

    PS4 Has Already Won The Console Wars, Claims Industry Insider

    ps4-xbox-one-pre-orderThe next-gen console wars should really be between the Nintendo Wii U, the Sony PlayStation 4, and the Microsoft Xbox One, but the reality is that the war is really between both Sony and Microsoft at the moment. As it stands both consoles are doing particularly well, with Sony taking the lead in some markets, and Microsoft taking the lead in other markets, but which console will prevail? While it remains a bit too early to tell, since both consoles only launched a few months ago, one particular industry insider by the name of Ashan Rasheed believes that Sony has pretty much won the war and that the Xbox One will forever be behind it.

    According to Rasheed, “Xbox One will be behind all generation, and not buy [sic] some small trivial margin. It will be enough to show up distinctly in exclusives.” He then followed up with another tweet which seemed to suggest that Microsoft did not design the Xbox One with the future in mind. “The PS4 has more left in the tank that will start showing up going forward. It was designed with more forward thinking hardware choices.” Of course there’s really no way of telling who will “win” the console wars as there are many factors to take into consideration, such as price, exclusives, and given that consoles these days can do more than just play games, social features could also be taken into consideration as well, but what do you guys think? Will Sony’s PS4 win the console wars this generation?

    Xbox One Digital Games Competitive Pricing Is ‘On The Agenda’

    xbox-one-hands-on-review-05

    The Xbox community has often wondered if they will be given the ability to pre-order or pre-download Xbox One digital games, and so far Microsoft has not clarified the matter. Maybe the community can find solace in the fact that the company is aware of these concerns. Replying on a reddit thread, Microsoft’s Larry Hryb a.k.a Major Nelson confirmed that the company is aware of the community’s concerns and that they have “great stuff” planned for Xbox One in 2014, and beyond that as well. He says when its possible to share more information, he will.
