It may get released under the brand
name Xbox 720, Xbox infinity or something else, but Microsoft is in its
pinnacle of rumour regarding its latest Xbox release. Analysts predict the latest Xbox release
to stab Sony, the arch-rival encircling its next generation of gaming consoles.
Since Sony unveiled its promising
touch-sensitive interface embedded with its Dualshock pads and innovative
controllers, Microsoft fans had to mention the next-gen Kinect motion sensors
embedded within a PC like internal architecture to counter.
Several non-gaming features such as a
skype telephony system, speech recognition and a built-in live TV recorder may
set apart xbox from other contenders on the ground of additional features.
Till date, there’s not even any leaked
release date from Microsoft’s end but after Sony revealing its PS4 in an event
in New York, Microsoft most probably won’t keep its hands glued.
‘Early to rise’ is by far the most
market-provoking strategy for the wide acceptance of any product. This is one
of the many reasons behind the glory of Xbox which hit the markets a year
earlier than the PS3.
The rumour factory provides us with
the pseudo-fact that Xbox will be right away placed onto the retailers’
showcase whenever PS4 floods the market.
The console under the codename
Durango, although no official disclosure, but may have the following techie
specs:
·
8
or 16 core CPU and a 8GB DDR RAM with a clock frequency ticking at 1.6GHz.
·
800
MHz of graphical processor
·
X64
CPU architecture.
·
Gigabit
Ethernet with Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi direct connectivity.
·
A
Blu-Ray Disc Driver.
The Kinect feature in xbox 720 may
have some smoother features than the 320. A leaked specification determines the
720 kinect to be capable of tracking even smaller skeletal movements and close
objects from closer vicinity. Hence, greater accuracy within closer proximity.
Better and higher resolutions and larger space to play are also pinned onto the
list.
One surrogate groundbreaking feature
from Microsoft may be the Illumiroom module coupled with the Kinect feature. It
is said to be capable for augmenting the appearance of the user’s environment
to the ongoing gaming environment. It’s most probably like a 3D simulation with
simultaneous gaming feel. Gaming nerds would love this.
Talking about backward compatibility,
the ancestor 320 didn’t have this feature and 720 most likely will follow suit.
But, Microsoft may offer some kind of emulation like Sony for sparing some good
old games to be played on this new successor.
November was the month of release for
the Xbox versions and so theoretically it has to be the winter of this year. It
will leave the audiences totally flabbergasted if the release skips even this
year after borrowing that much of patience and anticipation.
Sony on the other hand would take down
a history note and may step up on this theory and make a PS4 release prior to
that date.
Pricing is one main checklist for such
products to survive in the market too. The xbox 720 would most likely to be
placed somewhere around £299 but it is yet to get confirmed.
There can surely be no definite dates,
specification and exact costs unless its disclosed officially by Microsoft but
the above written matter is certainly based upon the most prevalent and
circulating gossips based on statistical reports and theoretical point of view.
Perhaps, Xbox had eight adulthood of gaming superintend at a stretch and there
should be more to come.
