Whats in the Next Xbox? Blu-ray, Always Online Requirement Claims Site | |

It sounds like nonsense because it probably is: an Xbox with a Blu-ray drive? But thats what VG247s claiming, that the next Xbox theyre dubbing it the Xbox 720, which you can bet is precisely what Microsoft wont call whatevers next will include rival Sonys Blu-ray technology, countering a still-more-plausible report by MCV in early March that the next Xbox will do away with optical media entirely. Also: The new system will debut holiday 2013. The Blu-ray claim doesnt add up, not with high-definition video rentals and purchases moving online as well as all the hypothetical proprietary large-scale optical storage solutions Microsoft could turn to, if its trying to sidestep a mega-download size and storage capacity bullet. Why would Microsoft pursue a sunsetting format and bring rival Sony into the next Xboxs revenue fold with license fees? It makes no sense. | ||
