Xbox One Features
Kinect 2
The Xbox One, unlike the Xbox 360, requires Kinect to function. This makes it likely that the console will ship with Kinect 2 as standard.
Kinect seems to be deeply integrated into the systems of the Xbox One, and allows users to browse using voice and gesture commands through the Xbox One User Interface.
Examples of the Kinect 2 in action include saying 'Xbox: On' to activate the system. The console will then remember what the user was doing previously and return them immediately to that screen.
Harvey Eagle, Microsoft's UK Marketing Director, was quizzed about the Kinect 2 integration by IGN.
"Kinect does require to be connected to Xbox One in all cases, yes," he said. Asked whether the Xbox One will accommodate people who perhaps play in their bedroom rather than their living room, Eagle replied: "Yes, absolutely. We use the living room almost as a moniker - that's where we assume the best screen is in the house. But if you like to play in any other room in the house, the Xbox one will deliver the same quality of experience whatever the environment."
Kinect 2 will feature an integrated 1080p camera, 30FPS colour, Time of Flight (TOF) technology and microphone arrays. It is said to be able to detect even the slightest of movements, such as the rotation of a wrist or shoulder.
Gamerscore Porting
Achievement hunters rejoice! Microsoft has confirmed that users will be able to port across their Gamertag, Gamerscore and your Avatar will port from the Xbox 360 directly to the Xbox One.
Harvey Eagle, head of Microsoft's UK Marketing division, said:
"Your hard-earned Gamerscore will port over, so yes you'll take that with you.
"You'll also take your Gamertag, your identity, with you. Whilst we're making a much bigger bet on natural identity with the camera, Avatars will also feature as well. All of the gaming identity that you have on Xbox 360 will be there on Xbox One as well."
Backward Compatibility
Unfortunately the Xbox One will not be able to play Xbox 360 games, including Xbox Live purchases.
It is rumoured to charge a fee for users to play used games on the system, although clarification on this remains to be given.
Evolving Achievements
Since Xbox One will be cloud-powered, Microsoft has stated that it gives developers the potential to modify both the game experience and the way in which achievements work 'over time.'
They cited the highly popular 'Arrow to the Knee' meme from Skyrim as an example - if this technology was in the Xbox 360, Skyrim's game developers could have went back in and changed the achievements or game to reflect this joke.
More on this feature is available in IGN's article on Evolving Achievements.
Xbox One Controller
The redesigned Xbox One controller features similar layout to the Xbox 360 controller, with the Y, X, B and A buttons, triggers, analogue stick placement and dpad in similar positions
It also includes two buttons in the centre which may or may not be the Start/Back buttons or something different.
The Xbox 'X' logo is also present at the top of the controller and should function in a similar way to how it did on the Xbox 360.
Rumored Features
The features described below were rumoured features in the build-up towards the reveal of Xbox One.
Always On
In the build-up towards the reveal of Xbox One there were rumours circulating around the net that the next generation Microsoft console would require a constant internet connection to switch on, and wouldn't function without it.
These rumours have been debunked by Harvey Eagle, who's head of Microsoft's UK Marketing Division. He said:
"The answer to that question is no, you do not require an always on connection to use Xbox One. It is clearly designed to be connected to the internet, and hopefully from what you've just seen you realise some of the benefits that brings. But if your internet connection drops, you will still be able to play games, still be able to watch Blu-Ray movies and still be able to watch live TV."
This rumour has recently been shut down by an official statement from Don Mattrick, claiming that they (microsoft) have been listening to our feedback. The decision was made to scrap the always online idea, instead, it will only be necessary to connect online when first setting up the console, after that it need not be online at all.
Kinect
Based off of rumors from Kotaku, the Xbox One will come shipped with an updated Kinect. This Kinect will be required to be on when using the console.[1]
The Kinect has also been upgraded to now be able to recognize 6 people instead of 2, and can find 25 points on each skeleton unlike the 20 points that the current Kinect can identify.
Multi-Tasking
The new Xbox is also reportedly going to feature the ability to multi-task. Unlike current consoles, you will be able to pause one game, hop over to the dashboard, an app, or another game, and then be able to flip back to the first game without any progress being lost. This is nothing new for PC gamers or handheld gamers, but it is an advancement for consoles.
Game Install
Reports also show that games will be required to be installed on the new console. Each unit will supposedly come with a 500 GB hard drive. While games do require an install, they are rumored to have the ability to install while you play them, so there will be no need for a lengthy wait time after you have bought the game to start playing it.
Anti-Used Games?
Sources told Kotaku on January 25, 2012 that the Xbox One will have a system that will not allow used-games to be played on the console.
While this claim hasn't yet been corroborated, more rumors surfaced on April 2, 2012 that the next Xbox console will need to be fed off a constant internet connection, which might be one way Microsoft plans to combat used and pirated games.
"Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today" This rumour has also been discarded after Don Mattrick announced that our feedback matters and they will be allowing us to use disc based games just as we do with the xbox 360 titles.
Optical Drive
The Xbox One will feature a Blu Ray drive.

Xbox One Price and Bundles
The Xbox One will be released in November 2013 for $499.99 in the US, 429.99 in the UK and 499.99 Euros in Europe. In Australia, the Xbox One will cost $599.99 AU.
Though the price hasn't been announced for Japan, the USD conversion to Yen is 49,336.91.
Xbox Live on Xbox One will continue to be a subscription service, but its price is unknown.
So it has been updated on why the Xbox one costs are so high. Over the last couple years microsoft has been declining to poor financial results because of money loss to the competition of Apple... and the aging of products and other things, News article:
[Selling hardware at a loss isn't a new business model for Microsoft. It has done so in the past with its Xbox gaming console. For example, the original Xbox lost something like $125 per sale. But with that device Microsoft expected that game royalties would make up at least some of that amount. It was a long-term play for market share.

The Xbox One is a powerful piece of hardware with 8GB RAM, 64-bit processors and plenty more muscle. But as time passes this hardware will age. As Xbox One Director of development Boyd Multerer pointed out, "You'll still have a limited number of transistors in your house; in your box."
Not much is known about the Xbox One GPU, but a Microsoft representative has told IGN "AMD is our primary partner for the custom silicon that makes up our GPU/CPU SOC that is the heart of Xbox One." [Source: IGN interview with Microsoft]
But the Xbox One is built to communicate with servers in the cloud to increase the computational potential of the system. Boyd continued "[As a developer] I can start doing things like shifting latency insensitive things to the cloud. You may have a limited number of transistors in your house, but you have an unlimited number of transistors in the cloud"
As bandwidth improves, there is potential for actual game computations to be off-loaded to servers in the cloud, essentially allowing the Xbox One to become more powerful over time as more and more transistors are connected to Microsoft's cloud infrastructure.

Xbox One Major U-Turn:
So on June 20th, 2013 microsoft announced they ar making a great U-turn on the Console and alot of its Managements/Rules
News Article:
(MoneyWatch) Microsoft (MSFT) seems to be making about-faces a regular part of its business strategy. The latest is to remove digital rights management, or DRM, from the upcoming Xbox One gaming console.
For Xbox gamers, that's great news. Originally, Microsoft had announced restrictions on selling, trading or lending games already purchased and a requirement that people check in at least once every 24 hours on the Internet to play any games offline.
But it is evidence of the company's tin ear as regards the interests of its customers. Recently, Microsoft announced that it would release a new version of Windows 8, dubbed 8.1, that would allow users to go immediately to the desktop and avoid the tiled interface that was designed for touchscreens and made traditional computing with a keyboard and mouse difficult. It is fine to listen to customers, but a company's management has a problem when it can do so only when people are screaming in frustration.
...However, Microsoft has made multiple major flubs recently. Users were immediately up in arms about the changes in Xbox One, which would have restricted how users resold games and the lending of games that people had paid for, as well as the 24-hour check-in requirement
...As Microsoft whipsaws between one strategy and another, the industry and investors might wonder who's in charge and why the company continues to make choices that alienate potentially millions of customers. At one time in its history, the company could make changes and force everyone to live with them. But its power has waned, and if Microsoft is to ultimately succeed, it must develop an apparently missing ability to empathize with customers.
