RUMOR: Scribd revealed a "leaked" 56-page document from an internal Microsoft presentation, which shows some details of the next-gen Xbox console. The document was taken down due to copyright infringement, at the request of Microsoft's legal firm Covingtone & Burling LLP, which seems to make it sounds more like a legit internal document. Here are some highlights:
Xbox 720 will have 4 to 6 times better performance than Xbox 360
Xbox 720 will have 6-8 ARM/x86 CPU Cores at 2GHz each, and a 64ALU GPU at 1GHz
3 PPC CPU Cores for backward compatibility with Xbox 360
4GB DDR4 128-bit memory
Native 3D, Always-On, Next-Gen Sensor Glasses (SmartGlass)
Blu-ray and Kinect V2 will be included, Kinect V2 will have improved voice recogniton, dedicated processing and 4 player tracking
Launch date is 2013, for $299
Augmented Reality glasses "Fortaleza" will launch in 2014, which is similar to Google's Project Glass
Rumored or not, most likely the specs from this source coud be true, extremely true but me give my thoughts if it is. Basically, I am fucking loving it, especially the $300.00USD price tag because consoles SHOULDN'T BE unaffordable but affordable and accessible since the real sales lies with the software not the hardware. I am loving the direction MS is going with this especially prioritizing backwards compatibilities and sporting Blu-ray as their central source for gaming medium.
Despite my gripes with MS as a company, I am loving what they did with Xboxlive and their vision for social gaming in the future so I will be getting this console if it is solid and more reliable than its current console. Good shit MS, I will be getting this console if the price and the software is right. Although, one minor request, please do not call the final product Xbox720 because it sounds stupid and undermines the concept of Xbox360, which is player is aware of everything arounds him: social, gaming, entertaining, and Xbox720 just doesn't make sense.
