The Xbox One has actually dropped a few features since it was first announced by Microsoft, but it seems that the company does have long-term plans to expand its capabilities.

Phil Harrison, an executive vice president at the company, says that he cannot name any new hardware that is being considered at the moment.

He tells Edge that, “we’ve put USB 3.0 ports on Xbox One for a reason, which is that we want high bandwidth communication with other accessory or companion devices.”

He adds, “I’m not going to speculate but we definitely designed the platform to extend over time.”

The Xbox One will be launched on November 22 on the 13 biggest markets in the world.

Microsoft is currently focusing on creating a smooth release process and then has plans to add a number of new software features, including the use of real-world information for accounts.
