Rumor: 'Xbox TV' set-top box in progress, to debut pre-holiday 2013
The device, dubbed "Xbox TV," supports "casual" games and runs on Windows 8, with an "always-on" chipset that allows for quick boot-up and resumption of programs, the report says. Xbox TV would be part of a broader attempt to scale its products, making them available on a range of devices, such as Microsoft Surface, SmartGlass (for iOS pictured above) and smartphones. It is expected to be revealed before the holidays next year, The Verge says.
Microsoft provides the following statement regarding any future set-top box plans: "Xbox 360 has found new ways to extend the console lifecycle by introducing controller-free experiences with Kinect and re-inventing the console with a new dashboard and new entertainment content partnerships. We are always thinking about what is next for our platform and how to continue to defy the lifecycle convention."
That's certainly not a "No, we'd never do that" kind of statement.

MoDOTXeo I don't really like the idea
Same, Why made xbox tv if the 720 comes out next year? Why not work more on that?
Its not coming out next year. They would not be extending the 360 life so much if it was
. I would say probably 2014.

I actually think this is a dumb idea sense it is taking away time from the making of the xbox 720.

CDMVlif They Should put time on the 720. not this! well, i guess some people with love it but I use my Xbox for games and Netflix... that's all i need
Then why would you need a 720? If you've got all you need? I don't really think a new console is really needed any time soon imo. :)
i feel this also. but like i said. they are making a new console. so they should put time into it instead of useless stuff
