Microsoft’s next-gen Xbox is called Xbox One

Today, at the Microsoft Xbox Reveal, the Xbox One was officially announced.

Don Mattrick took to the stage at the beginning of Microsoft’s event to run gamers through a short history of Xbox, from the first (super-square) console, to Xbox Live, to the Xbox 360.

“Can we take what you love, and make it better?” Mattrick asked before the reveal. It’s obvious that Microsoft thinks it can.

Mattrick called the new Xbox One an “all in one system” that is “built for the future.” It will come bundled with a next-gen version of Kinect and a next-gen controller, which you can see in the picture, below:

Immediately after the Xbox One reveal, Microsft showed off the (boxy!) new console and its new controller. Take that, Sony?

Microsoft then showed off the Xbox One’s new menu system, it’s new Trending sub-menu and it’s ability to transition straight to live TV, instantly.
