Xbox Live gets Smart Match and 'personalised' Achievements

500GB non-removable HDD, but USB promised for expansion and storage capabilities

Xbox Live is getting improved matchmaking, new Achievements and live recording for games as part of its latest console.
A new system called Smart Match will use “advanced algorithms” to pair players based on skill, language and reputation.

Furthermore, the pre-match lobbies that online console gamers will be familiar with no longer be necessary, because the system will find games as players watch TV, listen to music, or while they are playing another game.
New Achievements on Xbox One will supposedly reach “across games and experiences”; with examples such as team Achievements and community-wide Achievements. Developers will be able to offer Acheivements in new ways as a result.
“Our new achievements portal not only keeps track of what you earned, but how you earned it, so it’s more personal than ever,” said Microsoft. “It even lets you compare your achievements with your friends. Share your legacy and achieve greatness with Xbox One.”
