Report: Xbox 720 Will Be Smaller, Cheaper Than Xbox 360
New console to be based on the ARM architecture.
Microsoft may be keeping quiet about development of the next generation Xbox, but a couple of crucial aspects of the console have surfaced by way of reputable Microsoft leak blogger MS Nerd.
The Xbox 720, as it has become commonly referred to as, is allegedly codenamed "loop," and will be much smaller than the Xbox 360. Moreover, MS Nerd claims the system will cost less to produce in the hopes for achieving higher Kinect adoption. In addition, the console will be based on a modified version of the yet-to-be-announced Windows 9.
MS Nerd continues by stating that "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."
Microsoft has yet to divulge in any information regarding their next console, although it is rumored that it will be revealed next year at E3.
I kind of like the xbox 360 slim. i thought that would be around for another year or so. but i guess like with everything it has to be updated.

Better processors and ram will allow the games to keep the HD graphics going much smoother. This way game companies don't have to fake the HD by upscaling or using background blurs.
yea games are already amazing but i see where youre coming from chibi. i saw a video awhile ago where they were trying to make pixels smaller to make the game look alot smoother but i cant find it at the moment.

They fake a lot. Most multi-platform games are made for the xbox and ported to the PS3 so the PS3 hardware advantages aren't even used. They just blur things, and upscale 720p games to 1080. Very hard to find real 1080p games.
