As for the Xbox One specs, the new Microsoft console comes equipped with an x64 8-core AMD Jaguar processor along with 500GB storage and 8GB RAM [same as PS4]. Built-in Wi-Fi and USB 3.0 ports will be featured as well. Other Xbox One specs include a Blu-ray drive and both an HDMI-out port and HDMI-in port.

As for the price, the Xbox One is expected to cost $399 while the PS4 is estimated at $349. However, the Xbox One is rumored to be sold at a discounted price for those that commit to a 2-year Xbox Live contract.

At the E3 conference on Monday, June 10^th 2013, a trailer for the new "Metal Gear Solid" game kicked off the Xbox One presentation. The graphics looked great and a lot of new game options and characters were featured in the trailer.

Microsoft centered a good portion of their E3 presentation around 13 new games only available on the Xbox One. Games like Killer Instinct and Sunset Overdrive [open map game where you hunt down monsters with lot's of friends online! Cool!] definitely caught my eye, but Ryse: Son of Rome wowed the audience with incredible graphics depicting ancient Roman battles.

As for a possible Xbox One release date, most rumors indicate a November 2013 release, just in time for the holidays.
