    Lightbulb Clubul Xbox One

    Cred ca este cazul ca in sfarsit sa pornim threadul pentru Xbox 720, mai ale acum ca avem in sfarsit ceva detalii "palpabile" legate de noul Xbox... Din pacate avem doar un leak (si acela se pare ca a disparut de pe majoritatea site-urilor de profil). E totusi un leak intern ce pare a fi destul de legitim, mai ales ca a disparut atat de repede de peste tot.

    In mare parte este vorba despre recentul anuntat SmartGlass, clouding, 3D nativ, augmented reality (Fortaleza Glasses). Desi initial se vorbeste despre 2015, se pare ca exista sanse ca pana in 2013 sa primim o generatie "intermediara" alaturi de Kinect 2. Hmm...

    A document passing itself off as an internal Microsoft presentation about the future of Xbox has surfaced, and is stirring internet chatter with its possible hints at the future of the console. Despite turning up online over a month ago and potentially dating back to 2010, a few things mentioned that have since come to fruition -- like SmartGlass -- are earning it more attention. The proposed developments include cloud-based entertainment, native 3D, augmented reality "Fortaleza Glasses," scalable hardware -- all by 2015. If that's too long to wait, however, the time line also indicates we'd be seeing the next generation hardware in 2013 for $299 (more precise and four-player ready Kinect 2 included). The Xbox 720 package described includes such pie-in-the-sky bullet points as Blu-ray and whole-home DVR features, all from a low-power always-on box built on a "Yukon" ARM hardware platform.

    Of course, even if this is legit and not just some business student's exercise, all the talk of value propositions, OEM licensing and developer profitability are proposals that could have changed. Need more reasons to be skeptical? Digital Foundry points out the extremely optimistic wattages listed and previous appearances of the illustrations included. Ponder over the full 56-page document for yourself -- taking into account the bored minds on the internet that are capable of cranking out this kind of stuff, like that infamous Nintendo Revolution video -- after the break.

    Update: The document has been pulled from Scribd, apparently at the request of a Covington & Burling, LLP.
