Xbox One is 'great for small businesses'
In a post on the Microsoft Small Business Support website, Xbox MVP Marques Lyons claims that "what is being positioned as an excellent entertainment device can be just as enticing for you and your small business".
The argument put forward is that for only $499, the Xbox One offers features that "could help it rival even the most modest of video conferencing and networking platforms".
Lyons claims that since the inclusion of Kinect and Skype allows people to not only chat to each other but also supports multi-person chatting, with the wide-angle lens of Kinect "you have the means for collaborative meetings and presentations".
"The Xbox One with Kinect, as a Skype provider, is just as capable as a PC with an attached/included microphone and webcam," Lyons goes on. "The difference here is that Xbox One and Kinect gives you the open space to move, gesture, show examples, and see everyone more clearly."
The dedicated SkyDrive app currently available on Xbox 360 and expected to be on Xbox One is another selling point for businesses, Lyons says, as it makes sharing documents and displaying them on the TV to a large group of people easier.
Combined with Internet Explorer and Office Web Apps, "pair that with a Wi-Fi keyboard and mouse and you have the means to edit documents, when necessary, even if you aren't near your PC".
Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox One will be available in 21 markets this November. The Xbox One price has been set at £425 / €499 / $499.

NinjaWizardDanniBoyce92NinjaWizardTFM Why can't the Xbox one just stick with gaming?
Because they want more money.
I don't see what the problem is. it's going to be the best games console yet and your disappointed that it does more than just play games?
I'm not disappointed, I couldn't care less.
Why is TFM complaining that they are adding features? Really. They have gaming and more, that just sounds good to me.

The amount of intelligence within your response is about 0%. Trying to build on that 0%, I would have to say, of course they want money. They are a business. Businesses are about the money, they aren't trying to lose money... Welcome to the real world SAGE.
