Rumor: Leaked Design Doc Outs Next-Gen Xbox
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Well, as people have said, if it is legit, the document is from 2010, so they could have pushed it back.j-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
But you might want to think before you say what you said. What I'm getting at is that 2013 release date doesn't meant that it has to release on the first day of 2013. At E3 2013, they could very well make the announcement, the new Xbox will be released holiday 2013. That gives people at least 5 months to prepare and save money. If that is the case, then developers are most likely already working on games for the new system as we speak, but of course that type of stuff would be kept hush hush.
-the price is about right for what they want to sell the console for though it will probably be bumped up to 400
-just like xbox 360 they will probably attempt backwards compatibility for the first version then give up and just make cheaper ones that force you to buy digital copies that run on a virtual console
-6-8 core sounds about right
-4 gigs ram maybe a bit low
in conclusion though it may not be legit it will still probably be close to the real thing
btw anyone else wish they would sell a bare bones version for cheap that then you could upgrade to a tricked out version a little bit at a time? such as allow you to upgrade the ram

I hope you all do realize, that no where in this document, does it mention a hard drive. Not anywhere in it. So yea, they can sell it for 299 dollars, ut you won't be able to save any games, if you do you'll have about 6GB built in. If you want to actually save content, you'll need a hard drive to tack on or perhaps buy the one with a 320 GB package, which can cost an additonal 100-150 dollars at launch.
We must remember they have always offered Xboxes with minimal storage space before, and you're more then welcome to buy the cheap version. Anyone who plays a number of games, or loads a number of videos know how quickly you can go through built in.

Doesn't the 360 have 3 cores? It wouldn't be surprising to see a six core in the 720. And I doubt the Kinect upgrade will come for free either.
So I'm guessing it's simply out of date. All of those specs are probably preliminary, and we should simply wait and see what happens before calling bullshit/praising the gods.

Can't wait to see if this is legit but if they are going to use a disc drive for the next Xbox they'd better make damn sure it doesn't break down like the current Xboxes.
Is a gymnasium coming with it so I can fit all these fucking people? Most people barely have enough space to play single player Kinect comfortably. The ads right now are humorous in the endless expanse of living space that they play in.Andy Chalk said:
I have to be sceptical, seeing as how that's my job, but my assumption would be that it either, isn't real or isn't going as they planned. Considering the article is from 2010, it's possible that they haven't been meeting schedule, which is why it hasn't been announced. My personal opinion though is that it's fake. There is no way in the world it would go to market at $299 (I assume US dollars). It's probably some nuts way of having fun.j-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
It depends; they want it to be more than just a gaming device; they want the next console to be a home entertainment device. Home Entertainment also includes watching movies; Sony won that format war.Uber Waddles said:
90% of the time I use my X-Box 360 is to watch DvD's and videos from my computer. Odds are, Microsoft found that most of their users are in the same position.
