We designed Xbox One to play an entirely new generation of games\u2014games that are architected to take full advantage of state-of-the-art processors and the infinite power of the cloud. We care very much about the investment you have made in Xbox 360 and will continue to support it with a pipeline of new games and new apps well into the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: \u00a0 \u00a0Will Xbox One allow players to trade in, purchase and play pre-owned games?\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nA: \u00a0 \u00a0We are designing Xbox One to enable customers to trade in and resell games.

The delivery of TV is complex and we are working through the many technologies and policies around the world to make live TV available where Xbox One is available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: \u00a0 \u00a0Xbox One is a more powerful product compared to Xbox 360, but does it also use more power?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: \u00a0 \u00a0No. By providing multiple power states in Xbox One, we\u2019ve balanced energy efficiency with functionality.
