The list revealed by Microsoft for the Xbox One has does beat the list of apps released by Sony for the PS4. Some of the apps do coincide with each other like Hulu, Netflix and VUDU.
But there is one app that stands out and gives the Xbox One a heads up above the PS4. The Univision Deportes app that will launch for the Xbox One will be the first Spanish-language sports app and will offer fans comprehensive soccer content. The app will allow fans to experience the most exclusive soccer content available. The app will include live streaming and VOD content of the most popular sports properties including Liga MX, the Mexican National Team and the 2014 World Cup. Additionally the app will provide sports fans with 24/7 coverage of soccer worldwide. It will even include the latest news, real-time results and stats and comprehensive videos and photos.
"We are proud to continue our relationship with Microsoft which began with UVideos on Xbox 360," said Scott Levine, senior vice president, Product at Univision Communications Inc. "Univision Deportes' availability on Xbox One, combined with the power and new features of this new console allow us to bring unprecedented access to both of our audiences." This is the second app by Univision to be added to the Xbox repertoire. In 2012, Microsoft added the popular UVideos app, Univision's premier bilingual digital video destination.
"We're excited about our longtime partnership with Univision and look forward to bringing the Univision Deportes app to Xbox One," said Kathy Styponias, general manager, Interactive Entertainment Business, Microsoft. "The addition will mark a significant milestone in our mission to bring diverse and complete entertainment offerings to Xbox at launch and beyond."
