Rumor: 'Xbox 720' doc spills details on Kinect 2, 2013 launch, AR glasses
Beyond the stuff you'd expect, the document also claims Microsoft has Augmented Reality glasses in the works named "Fortaleza" (presumably built at Brazil-based Innovation Center Fortaleza) – the document says we won't see through MS' AR until some time in 2014, post-console launch. Additionally, it claims the "Xbox 720" will have some form of "always on" functionality, as well as the ability to run apps at the same time (read: multitasking).
Now before you go getting all excited, you should probably know that this document surfaced in some form back in early May on Nukezilla. Moreover, even if it's totally legit, the document itself appears to be rather old – dating back to August 2010 at least. That said, some of the info detailed in the document has since been announced by Microsoft (most notably Smart Glass). We've seen some pretty thorough fakes in our time, but this would be the most thorough if it were.
We've reached out to Microsoft for comment, but, well, you know.
Update: The document was removed from Scribd due to copyright infringement, at the request of a law firm named Covington and Burling. The firm worked with Microsoft as recently as this past April, when it advised Microsoft in its patent settlement case with Facebook. Microsoft still hasn't responded to request for comment.

Suhpose Honestly if there is an Xbox 720, I doubt I will buy it when it first comes out. There will be hardly any games for it(If you can't use games from the 360) and for hardware issues. Usually the first people to buy it are the 'guinea pigs'(the ones who test it) lol.
Same here. They are going to have to fix so much in the begining, so I don't want it right away and there won't be any games for it.

xDecyyLaidxDecyy I don't see the point in new xbox's etc Just going to be the same waste of money in my opinion 4-6X better crap won't happen
So you don't see the point in technological advancement?
Think about how much money you spent on xbox 360 then they want to give you the same thing only with small changes so pointless
Not really small changes... It will be rather big, actually; like switching from PS1 to PS3 - a huge step up!
I;m just hoping they live up to expectation, though
