There's much more that we'll likely learn between now and the end of E3. For now, what are your thoughts on this new system

It's nearly impossible for the Xbox One not to be a substantial upgrade over the Xbox 360. The fact that Microsoft could ship a single integrated SoC instead of a multi-chip CPU+GPU solution this generation is telling enough.

Microsoft went first in the press conference stakes, but while the last press event (a few weeks back) was more about the new fancy entertainment features, the E3 showing was all about games! Though only a handful of games stood out for us in our opinion.

If there's one word that defined Microsoft's approach with its Xbox One when it launched in 2013, it was "disruptive." The new hardware challenged our notion of what a video game console could and should be, for better and for worse.

Powerful OS is user-friendly and built for seamless multitasking; Kinect v2's well-implemented voice recognition is a new "button" for your controller; Improved internal hardware translates to smooth game performance; Cable box interconnectivity is great for TV watchers

Limited; occasionally non-intuitive voice commands; Bulky; hefty form factor; Snap same-screen multitasking is debatably useful

The Xbox One is built using an impressive set of technology to provide next-generation gaming, while also promising to be at the centre of the home entertainment experience in your living room.

One Box to Rule Them All

I got my Xbox One on launch day, so I've had about a while now to play with it and find out what I think about the system. It is an excellent follow-up to the Xbox 360, but not without some minor flaws. *What I like:* [+] The dashboard is integrated WAY better than the Xbox 360 and PS3.

As ambitious a games console as there's ever been, but the Xbox One doesn't yet live up to its enormous potential The Xbox One is a hugely ambitious console, and in time it might realise its potential via software updates. Right now it's just a very good games console.

Runs quietly; Strong line-up of launch games; Kinect is amazing in many ways; Impressive multi-tasking

Flaws hamper every flagship feature; Big; ugly box; Not the most accomplished Blu-ray player; Some games still run at 720p
