The Xbox One is an eighth-generation home video game console produced by Microsoft on November 22, 2013 and was retailed for $499. It had an AMD 8-core APU at 1.75 GHz and 8GB of RAM. It has an AMD GPU on the AMD Radeon GCN architecture. Early in its life, it was heavily criticized for intrusive DRM, such as always-online and lack of used game sharing. These have since been removed. Notably, this console runs on the x86 architecture with a modified Windows OS, so it is essentially a watered-down PC.
