Many of those within the gaming community consider the Xbox One as the superior all-in-one entertainment system in the current video game console market. IGN in their Xbox One review says, “If you’re the kind of person who loves games, loves to gorge on media in many different forms, and enjoys getting at all of it in one place, this is the console for you.” While the PlayStation 4 has a slight edge in graphics and resolution, the Xbox One more than makes up for this with a better online gaming experience, the ability to multi-task between multiple apps, voice/message chat, gaming, and a streamlined, user-friendly interface that includes a snapping feature to view two different applications at once.

The official Xbox site, reputable game review/news sites, and overall consumer feedback supports the research for this report.

Over the years, the Xbox has become a classic towards the fans. The Xbox One's leading competitors are Sony, who developed Playstation, and the PC master race, which reigns supreme above all. The Xbox one was alongside the PS4 when it came out and was considered a “next gen” console and was revolutionary in its time rivaling over the lesser consoles such as the Xbox 360, and the PS3. It has come a long way since its release and has had many updates to appeal to the large audience of gamers, including the addition of windows 10, and the ability to instantly record gameplay, and share it with friends.

Microsoft targets numerous segments of the population of many countries through advertisements of its Xbox. Microsoft, one of the most successful companies in the world, is using its innovations to take over the machine gaming market. Sony and Nintendo have been the gaming powerhouses for many years now, but are now starting to become overshadowed by the success of Microsoft’s Xbox. As long as gaming machines have been available, teenage boys have been the targets of the companies. One new strategy that Microsoft is using is the targeting of all ages and both sexes of consumers. While other companies continue to stay in the young kids and teenage market, Xbox is revolutionizing the target market of gaming systems.
Through the years of all the generations consoles Microsoft’s Xbox and Sony’s PlayStation both prove to be, arguably, number one. The flames of the console war since the release of the latest generation of consoles back in 2013 have been set ablaze by fans and gamers alike. Microsoft had a weak start with the Xbox One and with nonstop updates and quick releases they crushed their competition. What exactly makes Xbox better?
The interface for the Xbox one is excellent because of how organised it is. On the Xbox you can easily find your games, social media, and the store. The Xbox one when you go from one app to another you hear a nice calm whooshing sound that isn’t annoying or can get stuck in your head. That is the exact opposite with the Playstation the sound is a bloop it is very annoying and it can get stuck in your head. Another great feature is the keyboard on the Xbox one it is very easy access. The keyboard on
Xbox has many more features than other consoles. In many different ways it can be cheaper than let's say the PS4. The Xbox is very easy to learn about how to use it.

The head of Microsoft, Bill Gates, first introduced the console at the Game Developers Conference in 2000 and it was a huge success. Bill went on to tell everyone that the Xbox was not just another console, it was going to be the most powerful console to date (Marshall, R).
Are your friends talking all into video games and you’re left out because you don’t have a console? Now you want one but don’t know which to get? Well I’m here to help you. Today I’m going to tell you why PS4 dominates Xbox One.
The XBOX is now a 6th generation video game console that is manufactured by Microsoft. The machine itself was released in November of 2001, just in time for the 2001 Holiday Season in the United States, then subsequently worldwide. The decision to manufacture and release the system was Microsoft's first plunge into the gaming console market and designed to compete with the Sony PlayStation 2, Nintendo's GameCUbe, and Sega's Dreamcast. By November of 2002, Microsoft launched the Xbox Live service that allowed players to play interactive games online (Gamer's Catch, 2006). Looking at the evolution of the system, however, we now know that the Xbox began to be discontinued in late 2005 (in Japan) and then in early 2007 in North America. The last game was released in August 2007, and even support for out-of-warranty consoles was discontinued in 2009, with all new faulty consoles replaced with Xbox 360. Xbox Live support was discontinued in April 2010 (Whitten, 2010).
In terms of the product itself, Xbox One has many features that it can use to its advantage in distinguishing itself from other gaming systems, as well aiding its ability to attract many customers. For example, the Xbox has many apps such as Netflix, Google, and ESPN, which the console owner can use whenever they want (even during the middle of a gaming session). Cable and Satellite television services can even be connected through the Xbox in order to enhance the consumers’ experiences and to create an all in one system. Additionally, the Xbox brand is known for many of the great games only offered with the Xbox experience, making it a more alluring choice.
Microsoft is trying to establish the Xbox One as the video game console leader in the Video Game Industry. The Xbox One is a third generation video game console for Microsoft. The video game industry continues to have steady growth. However,
Microsoft introduced the new console (Xbox 360) one year before Sony, the industry leader, unleashed the PS3. Microsoft with the first mover advantage built a large customer base and has the largest library of games. The PS3 console has the best raw power and blue-ray capabilities. Nintendo, although with the less advanced console (Nintendo Wii), has successfully distinguished itself from their competitors with an innovative controller whith motion-sensor capabilities.
Microsoft Xbox is a company that makes games, gaming systems and accessories. The use of these systems has risen dramatically over the years and the people that use them are always looking for a new great game or accessory to go with it. Also, Microsoft Xbox has launched the new Xbox 360 Elite, the most elite gaming system available today. Back in November 2005, when Xbox 360 first hit the shelves, it was just the beginning. Although the console itself has not changed, the number of games available for it has risen exponentially. You can also play many regular Xbox games, designed for the first Xbox, that have backward compatibility with Xbox 360. More than 200 Xbox games work well on Xbox 360. That
