Microsoft lawyers remove leaked 'Xbox 720' document

4.6
A 56 page PowerPoint document that supposedly reveals sensitive information about Microsoft's next-generation console has been removed from the website it was leaked to.

The document, published on Scribd, claims the Xbox 720 will be released for the 2013 holidays with 4-6x the power of the current Xbox 360, at a price of $299.
It was removed following a complaint from Covington & Burling LLP, an international law firm that lists Microsoft as one of its clients.

The authenticity of the document, apparently written in 2010, remains a matter for dispute.

If genuine, the details within are difficult to verify as the paper appears to have been written in 2010. Games console design is a process that traditionally has one project undergo a multitude of redesigns.

According to the document, the Xbox 720 will feature Blu-ray compatibility, a form of augmented reality glasses, "Kinect version 2" and the recent SmartGlass service.

Celt Just because Microsoft didn't want it leaked doesn't make it mroe legit or true.


Actually it's believed that some companies leak things on purpose to bolster marketing efforts. It's a wise move if that's the case but I think the document is too old to be making assumptions off, we'll all have to wait and see.


True :) Or maybe their console is less powerful than the papers said.. That would be embarrassing :o
