Ok we missed this news due to a family wedding but it looks likes a leaked internal Microsoft document was leaked onto the internet on friday night (UK Time), it details microsoft’s future plans for both this gen and next gen of the xbox 360 and xbox 720.
Seems that a 56-page, detailed report, passing itself off as an internal Microsoft presentation about the future of Xbox has been “leaked”.
Apparently, the document lists a 2013 release for Xbox 720 and a “Kinect V2″.
The document also makes note of Xbox SmartGlass, which was just announced last week at E3, lending it some credibility.
- XBOX 360 “limitations”.
| It cites Xbox 360′s limitations as “no full fidelity AAA Games + Kinect V1 sensor,” no support for a full range of XTV platform scenarios, lacking modern entertainment capabilities (“Blu-ray, Native 3D,” and “2x1080p in/out”), and the inability to run “multiplexed or concurrent applications and services.” |
- XBOX 720 “specs”.
The document says the XBOX 360 successor will boast six times the performance of Xbox 360, have a “native XTV/video STB,” “V1/V2 Kinect sensor processing,” “connectivity for glassses/sensors/peripherals,” “dedicated resources for next gen gameing,” “dedicated resources for Xbox 360 gaming,” and “true 1080p and full 3D.”
| - Core Architecture
- Application - Back-Compat - EDRAM – >32MB - Security System |
- XBOX 720 “price”.
Its expected system cost is approximately $225.
| Compared to its competition, it expects Nintendo to launch what it labels as “Wii2″ and Sony to launch “PS4″ for “<$249″ and “<$399,” respectively. It aims to make Xbox 720 “the ONLY box you need for premium living room entertainment.” |
- Kinect V2.
| Kinect V2 is listed as including “improved voice recognition,” “better 3D play space recognition,” “four player concurrent tracking,” “dedicated HW processing,” and “better HD RGB camera.” That’s all in addition to “higher accuracy” and “stereo imaging vs mono.” It will also support four-person play. |
- “Fortaleza Glasses”.
A pair of glasses which will launch in 2014 that will allow players to [i]“interact with the world in a revolutionary way.”
Here’s some of its Key Points:
| - Platform (Xbox 720) – breakthrough heads up and hands free device. - Sensors (Kinect) – seamless integration of the digital world with the physical world. - Content / Transitioning (Games and Movies) – contextual applications and experiences for your life. - Services (Xbox LIVE) – real time information on people, places and objects. - 3 Screen (Tablets and Phones) – largest and most immersive screen, in the living room and on the go |
The full document it’s 56 pages long… So, it’s somewhat hard to say someone could waste so much time creating this kind of elaborated fake.
But again, remember this is still a Rumor.
UPDATE:
The Full presentation was deleted by Scribd, which makes us think it could be pretty much real!
