XBOX 720 Smaller & Cheaper than 360
Blogger MS nerd, who Industry Gamers notes has previously reported accurate early information on Microsoft's abandoned Courier tablet, says the machine will also contain ARM-based processors and run a version of Windows 9.
"With a heady mix of rumors, tips and speculation, I am now stating that Xbox codename "loop" (the erstwhile XboxTV) will indeed debut a modified Win9 core," claims the report.
"It will use a Zune HD-like hardware platform-a "main" processor with multiple dedicated assistive cores for graphics, AI, physics, sound, networking, encryption and sensors. It will be custom designed by Microsoft and two partners based on the ARM architecture," they added.
"It will be cheaper than the 360, further enabling Kinect adoption. And it will be far smaller than the 360. It will also demonstrate how Windows Phone could possible implement Win9's dev platform on the lower end."
These claims come amidst increased chatter surrounding the next-gen consoles, most recently from respected industry site Develop who rumoured that Microsoft is planning a Christmas 2013 launch for the as yet unannounced Xbox.

Its gonna be cheaper because arm has really evolved, now we can run a console on arm and get good graphics and performance
also arm uses less power and cost's less to make, so the PSU can be cheaper, the fans can be cheaper, there would not be much for a heat sink , and they might be download only games, so possibly no dvd dirve. probably be like $300 at launch with like a 1tb hdd :P

Comb But if its cheaper, doesn't that mean that the hardware inside is less expensive so that means that the console is worse than the 360? The ****?
No, the reason its so cheap is because it will be mass produced.

They are going to mass produce the console. Plus if it's cheaper than the ps4 they will probably get more sales.
