Xbox One promo video shows the dashboard and Kinect in action

Sure, it's not a live demo, but a new video from Microsoft at least shows you the type of functionality that is envisioned with the next-generation Xbox One.

The video begins with a brief look at the Xbox One's dashboard before the user begins issuing voice commands to perform a variety of actions including switching from television to games to movies back to television over to Skype and more. At one point he shows how easy it is to record and share gameplay footage. Granted, you probably won't have as short of attention span as the person in this video, but it's meant more of a representation of what the Xbox One is capable of.

Let's just hope the real thing works as fast and smooth as this promo video. We'll find out soon enough as the Xbox One is set to release on November 22.
