Digital Trends has acquired a 56-page document outlining Microsoft’s plans to introduce the Xbox 720 in late 2013. Although authenticity of the document has not been confirmed, the length and depth of the report suggests the briefing is not a hoax.
The document describes plans to sell the Xbox 720 for $299 during the 2013 holiday season. The device will feature improved Kinect capabilities including “an improved camera, support for up to four simultaneous players and improved, hardware-based player tracking technology,” explains the post.
The Xbox 720 will reportedly output content in true 1080p and full 3D, creating the possibility of 3D gaming and streaming video. Additionally, the console will supposedly function as a DVR with the ability to stream across multiple devices.
“That concept, more than anything, offers hope that this document is indeed legitimate, as that last feature sounds quite similar to the SmartGlass initiative that Microsoft outlined at [the recent] E3 conference,” adds Digital Trends.
The document also outlines plans to implement “props” in a fashion similar to the Wii. The props may possibly operate as controllers, and also pulse and shake as users “feel the experience,” according to the document.
