The Xbox One is an 8th generation Video Game Console build by Microsoft. It was first released in November 2013.
Release Dates
The Xbox One was released on 22nd November 2013 for the US, EU and some other parts of the world. It will be released in Japan in early 2014.
Technical
The Xbox One features a custom made eight core x86 64 bit APU (combined CPU and GPU) build by AMD. It has 8GB of RAM and a 500GB hard disk for save games and downloads. It has a BluRay disk drive and supports up to 4k video resolution.
The specifications are very similar to the competing PlayStation 4 by Sony.
An stereo video camera system (Kinect) is also part of the console.
Tomb Raider for the Xbox One
In January 2013 the newest Tomb Raider reboot game will be released for the Xbox One in form of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition.
Conroversy
After announcing that the console would have to be always connected to the internet in order to be able to play games Microsoft earned much criticism. This limitation was later withdrawn.
There have also been privacy concerns about the build in Kinect camera. Voice and gesture commands seem to be a bit unreliable, at least if the console is not set to "English" as the input language.
