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.

GSTQ Who really cares , they better lower the price too or ill be getting the PS4
I bet MS are shitting brocks that YOU wont pay for a quality console, they are probably worried their sales wont meet target because YOU dont buy an XB1 going to the ps4 for the sake of 100usd or around 70 GBP is sad, for just the inclusion of the kinect and better exclusives is worth it but you go enjoy your $400 new looking ps3 and then crying about it when they release sn update that bricks it! Have fun!

The price really isn't that bad in my opinion, and the people who care are small businesses and Microsoft.
Agreed, what do you expect. Its a new console. Its gonna be pricey.

This is kind of the same for me. I'm being drawn towards both PC and PS4 despite being a fan of the Xbox 360
