Xbox 720 gets officialThe Xbox 720, prospective successor to the Xbox 360 games console, could be on sale as early as next year. And Microsoft may even use the CES consumer electronics trade show in Las Vegas from 10 January to announce its existence.
Speaking to games industry website Edge, a source has revealed that Ubisoft Montreal (the development team behind Assassin's Creed Revelations) is "hard at work on target boxes based on the intended specifications of Microsoft's Xbox 360 successor". It is using PCs stacked with off-the-shelf components supplied by Microsoft itself, and there is a claim that the GPU has been or will be custom-built by AMD.
It has also been suggested that actual next generation devkits will be delivered to development houses before the Christmas break this year, leading Edge to make an experienced guess that retail units will arrive in 2012.
The site also claims that one developer has even started work on software for Sony's next console, currently dubbed PlayStation 4.
There are few other details on either new machine as yet, but with Pocket-lint attending CES in force, we'll be sure to pass on all the juicy gossip on both the Xbox 720 and PS4.
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology- ... 32597.htmlWhile no official announcement has been made, rumors have been circulating for a while now that Microsoft plans on updating its Xbox console in 2012. Nintendo should be in Vegas showing off the Wii U to CES attendees, and Sony has its Vita handheld system to talk about — but with neither expected to announce big new projects, this leaves the door open for Microsoft to steal the gaming spotlight with the Xbox 720. 2012 is also Microsoft's last year at CES, so they'll want to make a big impact as they head for the door.
The Xbox 720 is rumored to have an AMD processor, Blu-ray disc drive, Windows 8 compatibility, and deeper Kinect integration than the Xbox 360.

"Eidos president Ian Livingstone hinted that the next-gen Xbox console will require always-on Internet connection and will feature watermarked discs that can only be played on one console, effectively blocking used games."
RUMOR: VGLeak reported that according to the Durango Next Gen Xbox Development Kit, the Blu-ray disc will be merely just a software distribution medium, all games will be running from the hard drive, the disc is useless after the installation is complete. Kinect will be required to operate tech system, and Durango will have an "Always on, always connected" infrastructure, which requires an active network connection, and may be used to block used games. Edge Online also said this info is legitimate.
