Xbox 720 Leaked spec

Saturday, June 23, 2012

The last couple of years has seen the rise of the gaming PC with consoles reaching there capabilities.  

PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 are great pieces of kit and have brought HD quality graphics to the masses.  The speculation that both console are due for new versions soon would not surprise many.

What we can expect is always the juice.  So in scanning the tech blogs it seems a leaked "discussion" document has some "possible" details.  

Lets take a look at a few "speculations";

The Xbox 720 offers up to six times the performance of its predecessor, 

True 1080p video, full native 3D, and improved video acceleration. 

Blueray support,

Five different power states - full power, media playback, idle, streaming, and standby. Varied power states and improved processing power would allow for multiple apps to run at the same time. 

Software upgrades would allow media to be streamed to any smart device, so a user could start playing a game or movie on a TV, move it to a tablet or phone, and then continue playing. A mentioned DVR feature would also allow live TV to be recorded and streamed in the same manner,

Windows 8 variant based,

Kinect would logically get an update to improve the voice recognition plus a HD camera on the device. An improved tracking system and dedicated processing just for the Kinect would actually allow for four players to use the Kinect simultaneously, 

There's also a possibility that we may see some force feedback-enabled peripherals like a steering wheel,

Possible release date in late 2013, a price tag of US$299, and even augmented reality glasses with 4G connectivity,

The US lawyers had the document removed from the Website it was published on.  The above all seem sensible and viable so we look forward to seeing the results.
