ZB-85 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Many of the tech revelations are fairly standard and have been mentioned by developers currently working with early versions of the hardware. 2013 launch? Check. 3D support? It's in there. "Always connected" internet connection? Blu-ray drive? Lofty sales goals? Yes, yes and yes.The document goes several steps further, however. Running on a Windows 8 foundation, the new box aims to be even more of a living room staple than the current Xbox console, allowing users to record TV content in the background like a DVR. It also details improvements to Microsoft's Kinect camera system: better accuracy, improved voice recognition, and support for motion tracking for up to four players. That's not all for Kinect. Initially spotted in May by Nukezilla, the alleged roadmap discusses a "glasses for Kinect" initiative called "Project Fortaleza," a pair of Wifi-enabled, augmented reality glasses, according to the document. Marked for a 2014 launch, they would allegedly be radio/4G-based mobile devices that users could take with them, much like Google's Project Glass. Via Xbox Live, the document says, the glasses would offer "real-time information on people, places and objects." In 2015, claims the document, Microsoft plans to shift focus to cloud gaming -- a move that could signal the next Xbox (or a smaller set top box afterward) as the final hardware product from the group, as the document says consumers will "never need to upgrade hardware again." Of course, this could all be an elaborate hoax put together by someone with too much time on their hands. Microsoft, while refusing to comment about the document, did have it taken down from the sharing site Scribd via Covington & Burling LLP, a major IP law firm that represents Microsoft. That move, of course, has given the rumors springing from the document more traction.Microsoft has experienced these sorts of next-gen console leaks before. In the days before the Xbox 360 was announced, details from a market research company study leaked out, showing some of the ideas the company was considering for its next-generation system. Ultimately, the company decided to go in a different direction. Source: Here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slayerofall442 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 If I come to find out that a lot of this isn't true, I am going to be so mad it's not even funny. I heard that it is supposed to have the graphics of James Cameron's Avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jestermeister Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 It all sounds cool, but i'm sure they won't confirm it until unveiling. Make it all official-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanShepherdD Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 There is no such thing as a Xbox 720 the new Xbox is called the Xbox 8. This is due to the fact that it will be running on windows 8. You will be able to use you Xbox 8 like a computer and browse the internet with hopefully no restrictions. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XHN SCRAPY Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 well the documents that were telling and showing everything about the "xbox 720" are being and have been a few weeks ago demanded to be pulled off the internet.... lol i saw a 4-core cpu :/ and what not in the diagrams and 2 gpus if im correct, unless they are going with an APU, but i dunno what else there really was. i just glanced at the papers and stuffs... the file was just gigantic and took for ever to load :/ lol but i dunno of course they were draw ups/blue prints etc so they could be just a teaser or something M$ threw out there... but then again.. they want that removed from the web i guess...

Fishy Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Sounds awesome, but the games should be able to be played both on xbox 360/720. Although I hope it gets a different name then Xbox 720. Sounds original, needs a more attractive name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazmarr Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I like how MS 'refused' to comment, it means they're hiding something XP I posted something similar to this, it has more detail on specs, and I believe the next XBox will be aprox £250-£350. My post is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Wow, the final piece of Gaming Hardware? I dont think so for many reasons: 1. Because even though you could upgrade the internal tech, there would still be many physical pieces that would have to be added physically, such as processor core's and in built kinect sensors. 2. Because consoles make up a large staple of money to Microsoft, they would keep bringing out consoles, if not just for the extra money boost. What i want to see in the next Xbox is inbuilt wifi, allowing EVERYONE to access the internet. But you would still have to pay for gold membership. (this would result in Gold Membership costing more though, and the price tag for the 720 going up about $100 in Australia, not sure of the equivalent in your countries) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Teeth Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 That's awesome, but atleast I dont have to buy a new console for Halo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 That's awesome, but atleast I dont have to buy a new console for Halo 4 Some people see this as an upside. I actually "kinda" see it as a downside. If they bought in a new console to sell Halo 4 on. It would have even better graphics and gameplay value.

HIWBC Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I won't be getting the Xbox 720 for the main reason of I have no money just for next gen graphics But on the bright side there will be no more disc's and only downloadable games(according to my friends).
