Microsoft shows off first Xbox One TV ad with NFL tie-in
The 31 second clip will almost certainly be shown tonight on NBC as part of their coverage of the first NFL game of the season (Denver Broncos vs Baltimore Ravens, for those of you who might not be aware). As posted on YouTube, the clip shows some very enthusiastic NFL fans watching football games on TV via the Xbox One and getting instant updates on players stats as they watch. It also shows how users can access the Skype to chat with friends while keeping tabs on their games and scores.
This TV ad shows that Microsoft really wants the Xbox One to be viewed by the general public as more that just a game console. The tie-in with the NFL could entice some people who normally might not have purchased the Xbox One. It will be interesting to see if this first commercial is an overall indication of Microsoft's marketing push for the Xbox One as an overall TV entertainment system rather than a system for hardcore video gamers.

Katsumi It's good to see them taking this direction when it comes to their console, being not only a gaming platform yet a multimedia suite.
The main reason I buy a console, is to game.
I honestly don't care much about all other add ons.

Wokze Actually a pretty cool advert I guess, I hope they stream football matches (soccer)
That would be awesome, I have trouble watching some matches since I live in Belgium, so that would be nice!

That actually would be pretty cool, I want them to get one with sky if they haven't already so they can stream football matches (soccer)
That would be awesome if they could make it work so we in Sweden could watch it as well :D
