Microsoft confirms its console will play older Xbox 360 games and get a fresher user interface in November. Next up: TV recording capabilities in 2016.
Microsoft piled on the reasons Tuesday for gamers sitting on the fence to finally pick up an Xbox One gaming console.
The company is in a dogfight with Sony and its PlayStation 4 console for dominance in the video game world. With the PlayStation 4 taking an early lead in console sales, Microsoft has had to go the extra mile to win over fans -- many of whom have clung to their older Xbox 360 systems. Its push comes as the video game industry grapples with a shift in how people play games -- with many of them opting to forgo consoles altogether in favor of more casual smartphone games.
