We Finally have a title, which is apparently short for all-in-one system. The console was shown in full but the presentation was light on several details. We now have to wait for E3 for further info.

Not liking this One at all. It looks like a cable or satellite receiver box
And I thought Nintendo was dumb for naming their new system "Wii U"...but I think the name "XBOX One" is even worse. What is their reasoning behind naming their third console "ONE"?
This is going to cause many many normal gamers to be very confused in later years when getting into collecting and retro gaming.
Guess this thread is just about the name, not about the whole event like the other thread.
I wanted Alan Wake 2 but I'll gladly take Quantum Break for now because the Xbox could use some more exclusive series. Plus I love Remedy. Also looking forward to the new live action Halo tv series.

Already has jokes flying around, with all of the nongame stuff they've sbown: "Xbox One- Exactly how many they'll sell."
This reveal was short but sweet. I didn't expect the launch price or exact date but I atleast wanted more details about my XBL account. We'll obviously be able to transfer them over to the new console but will our achievements and gamer score migrate as well? What about our 360 DLC games/content? Hopefully we get most of those answers at E3. I wish they would have shown more gaming content but at the very least they showed the actual system. I also think that during one of the specs reveals it showed that the console comes with a 500 GB hard drive. Hopefully that turns out to be true. As for Kinect 2.....um, I need more details. I mean, I know it comes standard but hopefully you don't have to use it for every game.

Are developers forced to create games that have these online features, and are thus not playable offline? They are not, Xbox exec Whitten said to Wired — but “I hope they do.” So the always-online future may come in incremental steps.
So it's up to the developer. Some games may require an Internet connection; some may not. The future of always-online remains hazy.
So it's not always online, but the disc is tied to a Live account in order to play? I don't see this going over very well.
Also, if people can pay an additional fee for a used game to be tied to their system, then what's to stop people from renting or borrowing the game, downloading it, then paying $10 dollars to have ownership of the game permanently? Unless once the Xbox logs back online ownership is switched, and if the other owner wants to regain ownership they'll need to purchase the code once more.
Sony's stocks skyrocketed after the reveal of the One. If Sony doesn't do the used game thing, it won't even be a contest.
I already was going to hold off on buying a One for at least a year after that godawful conference, the used game thing just ensured that I will never buy one.
I was incredibly disappointed by the Xbox One reveal today. It literally appears to be a cable box/DVR that also plays games. As far as I can tell, they didn't even show a single frame of actual game play in any of the tiny number of games they showed. Honestly, this might be the first generation in 20 years where I don't get one of the new consoles at launch. If PS4 actually plays used games without some registration requirement and doesn't require a full time Internet connection, it might be the only new console I buy this generation. At a minimum, it appears there is no real way to collect games with the Xbox One, so that should save me some money.
