Microsoft unveils the Xbox One, the ‘ultimate all-in-one home entertainment system’
After months of speculation and rumour, Microsoft Corp. finally unveiled its next-generation video game console, the Xbox One, at a glitzy media event at the company’s headquarters on Tuesday.

Microsoft is positioning its new video game console as an all in one solution that will give users access to video games, over the top video services like Netflix and live television through one interface.

For Microsoft, the Xbox One represents not only the company’s challenger to Nintendo Co. Ltd.’s Wii U and Sony Corp.’s forthcoming PlayStation 4 video console, but also the software giant’s best hope at reshaping the face of television entertainment and placing its technology at the centre of millions of living rooms.

From a letter her lawyer sent to committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.):

“She has not committed any crime or made any misrepresentation but under the circumstances she has no choice but to take this course.”
