More information about Xbox 720 "Durango"

Although maybe Redmond is showing signs of concern on the fronts of Windows 8 and Surface, which does have the interest of consumers is the next generation Xbox console. The media have called Xbox 720, and have also referred to it by its codename Durango, but the fact is that Microsoft has not confirmed anything about the console yet. However, in what was the last paper publication Xbox World magazine, have focused squarely on the future console, and have even slipped some technical specifications.

    This is rumor control, here are the facts: The Xbox 360 continues to maintain an excellent pace. The console has become relatively affordable in recent months, and with some "tanks" associated as Halo 4 (300 million in sales), seven years after tomorrow meet not seem to have much weight. Moreover, the technical side is a bit more "hard" if you will, and this is where the maturity of the console and is exposing its limits. This makes the traveling players' minds a little ahead, and to the expected next generation Xbox console. The details from Redmond are practically nil. With the launch of Windows 8, Surface, Windows Phone 8 and the same Halo 4, that decision was reasonable, but now not so much. Across the pond, is another Black Friday will happen with the Xbox 360 on the shelves, and who want to buy an Xbox 720, you can not do yet.

    A "possible design" for the Xbox 720 according to the last paper edition of Xbox World - Xbox 720 A "possible design" for the Xbox 720 according to the latest issue of Xbox World paper

    All guns are pointing to the next E3 for solid news, but people of Xbox World, in what was his last published paper, presented a detailed report on the Xbox 720. Much of the information is based on the Microsoft SDK, and what we have shared some developers. Each SDK has a quad-core processor and 8 GB of RAM, an amount that can match the RAM of the PS4, or stay halfway. Another interesting detail is that each processor core is divided into four logical cores, which somehow translates into sixteen processing threads. The rest of the specs speak Blu-ray support, input "and" output to TV, directional audio, and Kinect 2.0, which can track fingers and allow items with four people at once. Still, perhaps most important about this future console is in support of augmented reality, which probably had its own special glasses (perhaps as Google Glass?). On the pad, only said it will be "innovative", but the reviews are completed there.

    As for the look of the console have been only some interpretations, taking into account details such as process steam MG tablet used in the Microsoft Surface. At the end of the day, the truth is Redmond, but we can not leave aside this feeling that the next E3 is far in time. Reports of the Wii U (which debuted on Sunday in the United States) have been mixed so far, which increases the pressure on Microsoft and Sony to present something tangible. The problem is that we are a little less than eight months of the next E3. A lot can happen in that time ...

Xbox 720 could be delayed until spring 2014

Xbox 720 could be delayed until spring 2014

We meet again with new speculation about the next generation of consoles. Also, this time there are two statements that complement each other, and they open the possibility that Microsoft delayed the release of its new generation.

On the one hand we have the words of Michael Patcher . The popular analyst drops a possible delay of Xbox 720, also known as Xbox Durango, it would finally be launched next year but in the spring of 2014:

    We have not heard a word from Microsoft or Sony on its plans to launch new consoles, but both are expected to launch their consoles manufacturers in late 2013, although we believe that Microsoft could delay the launch of a new console until spring 2014 to ensure what will surely be an overwhelming demand among hardcore gamers.

Patcher not the only one who thinks so. While not naming names consoles, Paul Raines, CEO of GameStop also commented how he sees from his experience the market for next year. According to the executive, would have a launch by year, starting with Wii U in 2012, following the other in 2013 (without specifying whether the machine will be Sony or Microsoft) and a third release in 2014.

    We hope Wii U arrives this Christmas, another console release in 2013 and the remaining hits stores during 2014

If the input to the next generation will occur in stages or not is something we can not yet know. Next week we will know all the details of Wii U. Perhaps until E3 2013 does not know any official news about the next generation. But also remember the launch plans of Microsoft , which placed the new Xbox on the market within 18 months.

Xbox 720 would be released at Christmas, 2013

Xbox 720 would be released at Christmas, 2013

We have been a few months in which no doubt, rumors about the next generation of consoles have been having increasingly greater role. From now on, it seems that we can start talking more and more confirmations. After the "slip" by Brian Hall , current director of the Windows Live brand, today we find a new job at Microsoft , which begins to make things clearer:

    During the next 18 months Microsoft will launch new versions of our most significant products including Windows (Client, Server and Phone Windows Azure), Office and Xbox, along with a whole new range centered on Microsoft Surface. These new products will define the direction of the company in coming years and we offer a great opportunity to refresh and evolve our brands.

    The team of brand strategy Microsoft is looking for a team passionate, creative and expert to help lead this transformation

Given that most products that names the announcement will be launched between October and the first quarter of 2013, it stands to reason that the Xbox name not refer precisely to the next dashboard update. In 18 months, Microsoft would give society time to submit its new console and have it ready for a launch before Christmas 2013.

The story popularly known as the Xbox 720 (also read Durango, Xbox or Xbox Loop 8) is full of speculation that began last year. The only thing that seems to be more or less clear, is that the next video game system company, follow the lines of integration with the new Windows ecosystem 8. Everything else can only be classified as rumors: power six times the current Kinect 2, augmented reality glasses, no disk drive ...

 

Of all the conjectures have appeared to date, the only one that has come close to reality has been that of a "command tablet" Wii-style U. Although not exactly like the system from Nintendo, Microsoft unveiled during E3 2012 Xbox SmartGlass . Thanks to him, the player can interact differently with games and other console applications as the future Internet Explorer 10, which come with the fall update.

When will the official presentation? Various sources have said that at first he thought the U.S. company to announce the next Xbox in the past E3 in Los Angeles , but ultimately did not. ¿Prepare a surprise announcement Microsoft style Surface for their next console? Will we have to wait for E3 2013 to learn more? What seems a little safer today than yesterday is that in less than a year and a half, stores may have a new Next Gen platform.

Xbox 360, Microsoft could sell their console at low price

It seems that Microsoft is going to squeeze the full potential of selling your home console Xbox 360 , before giving way to their next gaming platform. If all goes as expected industry should subtract a year or two at most to the Redmond company put up for sale its new console video games , a network system that has called for some time as Xbox 720. Much has changed the current Xbox 360 since it went on sale for almost 7 years. What at first was a video game console to use, it has become a media center that brings together the audiovisual content like music, movies or TV.

7 years is a long time, indeed, had never spent much time among a generation of consoles and other, which makes the Xbox 360 and 3 on two platforms PlaStation very veteran and virtually all have shown us what they are capable of giving itself. Perhaps because of this and to encourage a little more sales in the final stretch of his reign, Microsoft Xbox 360 could offer a very competitive price from next week. And, as reported by our colleagues specializing in technology for The Verge, Microsoft is planning to launch next week a new pack of Xbox 360 + Kinect sensor at a price of $ 99.

According to sources from The Verge, the launch would be scheduled for next week, although the company has not officially confirmed anything yet. The price would mean a kind of two-year contract, in which users must pay monthly installments of $ 15 (9 euros) that would give the right to be a member of Xbox Live Gold, plus the ability to access certain premium content such as sports Direct and other exclusive benefits. The initiative is similar to some extent the sales strategy used by mobile operators to subsidize terminals to its customers. In this case, Microsoft could take this business model to bring their console to a greater number of people.

Microsoft could design a new Xbox that operate with Windows 8

Microsoft could design a new Xbox that operate with Windows 8

One of the products Microsoft has had more success, and almost without interruption, is your console Xbox 360 has enjoyed since the start of a high acceptance by users, for example, its online services. Kinect has been another of the great strengths of this console and, in fact, this component has crossed the boundaries of electronic entertainment and has become the basis of multiple research and development projects at prestigious universities around the world. 

Microsoft wants to bring the world of console to PC and much more, apparently, Windows 8 could be the link since the Redmond company could work next year on an Xbox running Windows 8 in 2012 (which could be launched in 2014).

If this console is an updated version of the Xbox 360 or a completely new console is something that is not yet clear and are voices both ways, but regardless of this, the chances of that union (Xbox and Windows 8) could be quite interesting . 

In fact, during the past Build, Microsoft revealed plans to include the Xbox Live service on Windows 8, which would allow PC users could compete against Xbox multiplayer games, which could even be extended to Windows users Phone and grouped under one umbrella to all users of their platforms. From a business perspective, Microsoft's strategy is very accurate and Windows 8 will play an integral role quite powerful.

Conversely, Xbox 360 also begin to see some aspects close to Windows 8. For starters, the interface of Windows 8 Metro, ie widgets panel is something that will be distributed as an update on 6 December (but has already begun to be tested in beta mode for some users). 

If we add the company's intentions to include YouTube and Bing inside the Xbox, the console's approach to other types of services makes us understand much more of this convergence of platforms in which, thanks to Kinect users Xbox can search content by using the voice recognition feature.

Personally, the convergence of platforms that Microsoft is considering, which would increase much more with Windows 8, I think a very interesting strategy to maximize the use of their services and increase the scope of its own ecosystem. Applying the popular expression that says that "leisure is business", in the case of Microsoft, its new operating system could carry far more niche markets that the original PC

The new Xbox will be smaller, cheaper, and with Windows 9.

And here once again, a glorious buzz about the new console from Microsoft , that we call the Xbox 720 , Xbox Next and now called Loop - but as they say these "reliable sources", "Loop" is the code name for this long-awaited next-generation console.

IndustryGamers , rumor has just released the Web:

    The new Xbox console (720, Next, etc.) will be smaller and cheaper than the Xbox 360.'ll Use a modified version of Windows 9.



But that's not all, also released this bomb:

    "Loop", use the Zune HD hardware as the main platform processor with multiple cores will dedicated to processes audio, graphics, AI, physics, networking, encryption, and sensors. The processor will be designed by Microsoft and two partners based on ARM processors.

If they wanted information about the new console from Microsoft, well, here's a little to imagine what it would be capable. But of course this is not possible to corroborate information and you can be content with that, imagine the power, imagine the platform and especially the multi-core processor and dedicated.

Not until the next E3 , when we have accurate information regarding the power of the next Xbox ... 720, Next, etc..
