An original Xbox One home video game console with a controller and a Kinect motion-sensing input device. XBox One is a line of eighth generation consoles developed by Microsoft. It was released in 2013 as the third console in the Xbox family and successor to the Xbox 360. The name of the consoles reflects Microsoft's marketing of the device as an all-in-one entertainment system. The Xbox One line competes against consoles such as Sony's PlayStation 4 and Nintendo's Wii U and Switch.Photograph: Evan Amos
