During the press event, the company emphasized the actual gaming experience over hardware specifications, though it was pretty quickly established that games would be in high-definition, a first for the company's home consoles.

A new controller packing a 6.2-inch touchscreen, a gyroscope and accelerometer enabling a Wii-like motion-based experience, video camera and microphone for video chat, and vibration feature. ????* Just one day after announcing iCloud, iOS 5, and OSX Lion, Steve Jobs gave a 20-minute presentation to Cupertino's city council pitching his plans for Apple's new headquarters: a four-story circular building resembling a spaceship big enough to house 13,000 employees. Here's a full clip of the event.
