Microsoft also told gamers that new Xbox One consoles would have
"backward compatibility", meaning they will also be able to play
games made for the older Xbox 360.
Fans were shown clips of upcoming Xbox games - "Halo 5:
Guardians", "Rise of the Tomb Raider" and "Gears of War" - at an
event at the University of Southern California Galen Center on
Monday.
Meanwhile Sony unveiled the newest games for its PlayStation 4
including "The Last Guardian" and "Horizon: Zero Dawn", at a
separate event in Los Angeles.
It also told fans a deal with Activision would allow PS4 owners
to be the first to play the upcoming "Call of Duty: Black Ops
III" this summer.
The two console makers held the events ahead of the Electronic
Entertainment Expo (E3), which takes place on June 16-18 at the
Los Angeles Convention Center.
