Xbox One advertisement hits the mark, builds the hype

Microsoft has just published a promotional video for the Xbox One featuring England captain Steven Gerrard and actor Zachary Quinto.

Xbox One which is Microsoft's next-gen gaming console, will be released this holiday season and the company has already begun promotions featuring popular celebrities. Recently a video showcasing "hypercars" from Forza Motorsport was released with voice over from Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson. Now, Microsoft has published a larger than life video featuring football star Steven Gerrard and Star Trek's Spock who invite people to join in the "all-in-one" Xbox One. The Guardian has reported on Xbox One's TV campaign with speculation that it is already worth at least 100 million dollars.

The promotion begins online on Friday while the TV campaign starts on Sunday in the US, followed by UK in the next week.
