There's already a mock video, and it's really good, again, I don't know if it has been posted previously because I'm far too lazy to check/care:


@Adam; surely if you liked the XBOX360 you'll enjoy XBOX ONE? They wont go backwards in terms of gaming for obvious reasons.

They mentioned nothing about their games system, no gameplay, didn't really talk about the controller or what the console can actually do in terms of gaming and that's what really pissed me off. More than half of the conference was about 'entertainment'.

I love my XBOX 360 and have done since launch day so maybe you can understand why I'm so underwhelmed by this announcement? Just because it's got XBOX in the name it does not mean I will buy it because I'm not a sheep. I will form my decisions based on facts when both PS and XBOX have been released and reviewed in their entireties.

I won't even be getting it close to release day considering GTA 5 comes out a month before and it's not backwards compatible.

You cannot trademark a word unless you've made it up IIRC.

I was always a ps3 (sony) fan and always will be. My boyfriend has the xbox 360 kinect and to tell you the truth it sucks. Well a few xbox games are good that ps3 doesn`t have but thats the only thing good about it really.

That's also true but Sony aren't in direct competition with HTC as they are Microsoft. Can anything happen in terms of this? I'm not even sure.

Kinect V1 and V2 are different. Like saying the PS2 sucks because you don't like PS1 :L

I imagine Microsoft's legal team understand corporate law :L

I don't see how anyone can say it is not allowed? It is a number..

No.

Yes you can...

[Adam]

Yes you can...

So nobody ever can use the word one again? Oops, just did, I expect Sony at my door any second. No.

words and phrases can be trademarked if the person or company seeking the trademark can demonstrate that the phrase has acquired a distinctive secondary meaning apart from its original meaning. If you have a company with a catch phrase that is identified with another meanig other tha its original meaning it is possible to trademark it. That secondary meaning must be one that identifies the phrase with a particular good or service.

Sony will look like ***** if they take Microsoft to court because they use the word "One". It would probably be laughed at by the courts I would assume/hope.

This is exactly what I want to happen.
