Xbox720/Durango - 2013?

[Kornman00]

Leaked Microsoft document details $299 Xbox 720 in 2013, Kinect glasses, OnLive acquisition

I question the 2013 release date (albeit, I know Alpha kits are out for the next system)

Some of the specs detailed in this don't add up to what I know of the system (in fact, some the specs are under). I think this is a controlled "leak", to see how the public reacts to what they actually do have planned.

Just to note, the document is from 2010 and likely wasn't officialy prepared by an integral Durango team but a general proposition of ideas by employees in some area.

Old document is old.

I saw early yesterday morning, but didn't bother posting because that document is lol old.

"news" to me, VB, and gamedev.net

It was definitely news, but with a document that old, how much of it can we expect to have remained unchanged at this point in time besides price?

Microsoft labeled the game-streaming company as a threat with the potential to “up-end the console-gaming market by making expensive consoles and PCs unnecessary for AAA gaming.” Microsoft may choose to neutralize them by absorbing this already established company rather than creating a cloud-streaming service from scratch.

I LOL'ed. Seriously... OnLive is a joke, at least on the average connections in its target markets.

Don't do it Microsoft! You have to ship awesome operating systems every other generation!

If the whole rendering on the cloud thing is true, Microsoft just fucked over Latin America.
