Tech First Look: Images of the New XBox One

I guess it won’t be called Xbox 720.

Today, Microsoft announced its latest next-gen super console, the big kahuna – XBox One. Xbox Live’s Director of Programming Larry Hryb (aka Major Nelson) held the big XBox One E3 presentation, which you can watch again here.

A full recap for #XBoxReveal is also showing now (3pm ET) – an Architectural Panel on Twitch.TV.

And below (thanks to Wired.com),  we see the first screenshots of the new hardware.

From Microsoft news:

Microsoft has just introduced the Xbox One. It’s the next generation console from Redmond that will help power the living room for the next decade. The Xbox One is accompanied by a new controller, new Kinect motion and voice sensor, and a much, much more.

The Xbox One is powered by the Windows kernel. Hardware wise, the Xbox One will have a Blu-ray drive, USB 3.0, 802.11n Wi-Fi, 8GB of RAM, 500GB HDD, and an 8 core CPU. HDMI in and out.
