Xbox One Will Not Support External Storage at Launch

The Xbox One will not support external storage at launch.

Any type of portable memory will be released shortly after the gaming console's official debut, according to Microsoft's Major Nelson, who made the announcement during his latest podcast.

"My understanding is that feature will not be there at launch because the team is working on some other things, but it definitely is on the list," he said. "I don't know when it will come in though."

The Xbox One will come with a 500GB internal harddrive as standard that cannot be replaced. External storage will be compatible with the system through its USB 3.0 port which could also be used for game installs and downloads.

The Xbox One was unveiled earlier this year and will launch during the holiday shopping season 2013.

The console also features 8GB of RAM, an 8-Core, a Blu-ray drive, HDMI in and out ports, 802.11n wireless, and a built-in Kinect sensor. Microsoft described the Xbox One as an "all in one system" that is made for encompassing games, entertainment and television all into one device.

The graphic capabilities on the Xbox One were displayed during the introduction of the new "Call of Duty: Ghosts" game at the unveiling event earlier this year. Three comparisons were made during the presentation that featured images taken from "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" and the company's next-generation "Ghosts" title. The difference in graphic capabilities was astounding as the new system is able to create visuals with life-like detail, all the way from the scars on a man's skin, or the hairs on a dog's body.

The Xbox One will also come with an HDMI cable and it will support a/b/g/n wireless protocols along with 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies.
