‘Leaked’ XBox 720 document, Kinect 2, Fortaleza Glasses, Cloud Gaming and Unified Ecosystem.
What you’re looking at is the supposed new Xbox 720 document, which I came across on Reddit and TheVerge.
Nokia is deeply tied to the Microsoft path so this sneak peek might alleviate or raise further concern.
This details a roadmap all the way to 2015, with next generation of Xbox appearing in 2013.
What’s happening on the mobile end?
Well, being able to play next gen games on your Lumia. Not Xbox Live WP8 games, but actual XBox titles.
Not sure how this would work given the touch controls.
There’s another new peripheral – Xbox Kinect Glasses – (Different to Xbox SmartGlass). Think more on the lines of augmented reality glasses, like that Nokia concept or more recently, Google Glasses.
I’d be really interested in the phones/tablets being able to play the XBOX 360 games and maybe stream the 720 games. Think Xbox phone/tablet, wireless HDMI/DLNA/HDMI TV connection, BT controllers.
Not sure when this document was made but commenters have said it looks old (it may be pre-NOK-MS) and shows that certain things have started to play out, like Metro interface on the desktop and SmartGlass.
What’s XTV?
Interesting look at what they predict is coming. Wii2, WiiU, is it in trouble?
Note, pre Win8 metro. At least to me that looks like the HP Slate.
Note Nokia are not on the OEM page (nor ASUS, LG, HTC etc). Note also that this document shows Avatar as the movie entertainment choice (2009).
There’s obvious improvements coming to Kinect in terms of accuracy and handling more people.
From 2015 it seems it’s cloud on up.
The document available here:

Well not long before we here some official news from MS regarding at least the next stage of Windows and Windows Phone.

“What you’re looking at is the supposed new Xbox 720 document”
But nothing official nor up to date (talking about a rumored Wii2 @249$ and that “historical assump.” behind the price of the “720″.
But most impotant: Only idiots would call the Xbox 360 successor Xbox 720
Not really, XBox 720 has recently appeared as a product placement in some sci-fi movie, I forgot the name of the film.
“real steel”

why do you believe everything you see….are you aware that these companies do that shit all the time specially for futuristic movies …these systems wont be out till 2014-15 plus ps3 already has the hardware to extend for a good 7 years compared to xbox…xbox has to rely on the pc to expand, ps3 and sony devices just need software
ps3 to psp/vita are already possible and now ps mobile store on every android device including tablets ….um yea smartglass looks like a joke just like the kinect
Interesting bit of kit. Though it see,s to get underplayed, mobile gaming is going to have to be a huge part of WP8′success. I see more kids and adults playing on iPod touches and iPhones than I ever saw playing dedicated portable gaming consoles. The PS Vita and 3DS failed here in the states partly because of this.
The more XBox Live integration that MS can cram into WP8 the better.
If one can purchase Live arcade titles and play them on a Lumia and on their home console, they could have a solid success. Bit they are going to have to be great titles, something like Minecraft and DeathSmiles to get the nods from our generation.
If Nokia makes Xbox phone/tablet…
I guess it’s cca 2 years old. Still, it looks genuine to me.
MS will moving forward.
But Nokia… Sad…
In fact, Nokia shares are slightly rising now.
They are taking action – and it counts.
I think Nokia is going to be the Xbox mobile maker as private label. PureView is a deal maker,maps,Nokia drive,etc.
Awesome
Hell yea, pull more users to black hole called MS Ecosystem. Oh, how i love to speak that word. XD It’s sound so serious when you spoke it, no wonder that Elop and Balmar constantly using it. But it is just a word, and prof for that is that Android does not have it.(Console, glasses and other mumbo jumbo bullshit).
BTW, how can this help Nokia? Did you not see what this deal with MS did to NOKIA? 10k people are unemployed. But let us look on the bright side, now they can play all day Xbox.
:/ 
And please tell me, who normal would use kinect when you can play those stuff in real life??? If you want to play tennis just go outside.
And before you start attacking, i am hardcore gamer, and if you did not play Planescape Torment please don’t bother to answer on this post.
It is so sad for all the loyal people who are now looking for something else
Let’s hope that it’s darkest before the dawn
Think of all the deals micro just did,now with aol. Xbox grows into total entertainment not just games. We have winter here sometimes 5 months that keeps us inside instead of outside. Also what else can Xbox become?
You have winter for 5 months? We also have it, and i can’t wait to come again so i can drive my snowboard.
Consoles should stay consoles, i don’t want anything else from them. All rest is monopoly, because of that i don’t like Apple and MS. Just give me what i want and don’t offer me other products. Simple as that.
And XBox should stay just a console.
“I’am hardcore gamer”
Reason why you are not using Kinect. Don’t care about Kinect, but Kinect is actually one of the world fastest selling electronic device ever by selling over 10 million under 3 months.
Yes, and its has became the fastest widely unused piece of dusty lag. Who would care for it or its sales!?!? What good is there for me from its good sales, if the product is useless junk!? It didn’t get any notable support even from them selves, because its latency is so horrible, that you cannot make games that player plays without obvious automation.
THIS is the casual gimmick, that its fans are accusing others to be.
It’s far from being useless.
It is not for hardcore gaming, not at all. It takes a different aspect of what gameplay can be like, much like the Wii, but much better in terms of knowing where your whole body is in that space, recognising gestures from all limbs. It’s pretty great when playing in a group. They don’t need to have a controller or know the controls as everything is pretty intuitive.
Useless for you? Maybe. Useless for others? Perhaps it’s not so easy to be the spokesperson of the world.
The input latency makes it useless even in casual games, I mean in long run(more than week after which the novelty wears of)and thats one reason why there is so few games for it…another reason for its meme worthy uselessness.
You need Wiimote for every player, but its sub pixel accurate and instantaneous, and surprisingly, as well as somewhat ironically, its usable not only in casual games, but also in ‘proper’ games, and it completely destroys the XBoxes controller in a genre where XBox shines(and Wii sucks), FPS, with its immediacy and immersion!!! I absolutely cannot wait, how FPSing feels with the Wii U, that I suspect will finally get some proper FPSses.
“The input latency makes it useless even in casual games, I mean in long run”
It depends how well the game is made for it. Really optimised kinect games are fantastic. Poorly translated ones (where they just try to turn a mouse cursor into kinect fails)
Playing tennis on kinect is a lot more fun than tennis on the wii. It takes into account where I am in the game and requires me to actually move about where as I can just flail my wrist in Wii. It’s just more engaging.
When playing golf, players can kneel which changes the view for better putting or put their hand as if to salute in that gesture where you’re looking into the distance and makes the view zoom in from a distance.
Moving about in space, and not just my body is pretty awesome. Speaking out commands is a nice touch too and the random photos it takes which you can share or just look back on. Actually the speaking commands is pretty cool in the other non-gaming aspects. I hope it advances more to do more things.
I don’t actually see how Kinect would ever be good at something like FPS. Maybe kinect 2 but not current version. It’s just for fun. At least my friends and I like it. A couple have liked it enough that they went and got their own.
I like the little kinect labs stuff where you pick up objects, kinect scans them in and turns them into characters and stuff. It’s a gimmick but there’s potential in it.
It does however need space. Our next uni house was picked on the criteria of being big enough to at least a) swing a cat (figuratively) b) play kinect
So no, it’s not useless. Not for me, I quite enjoy it. It performs a function quite well.
The input latency is inevitable. It does not depend on the coding, it comes from time consuming analyzation of the video signal. That is why it will always be weak controller by default.
Wii tennis can take account your placement, but Nintendo wanted to keep things as simple as possible to stress the meaning of Wiimote as well as make it as acceptable for non-players. Tennis is one game, where low input latency is very important.
I still don’t see the point to use it, maybe in some sports games. Today you can sell turd if you polish it and advertise it enough…
lol lots of random farts in the air!
Doesn’t look like internal MS ppt documents… I got hands on ones something like 1 year ago, and the style of the documents was more metroish.
the “for discussions purposes” only seems legit though.
xbox still sucks lol it’s third in sales dispite the low price no one wants a system that overheats like crazy and eats nd ruins games…,,56% failure rate with a 80 – 98% chance your game will get chewed up if it gets tapped by anything lol….poor design xbox lol and it turner itself into a online tv box cause you can the same games on pc or ps3 with keyboard and mouse lol
Third in sales?
USA seems to like the Xbox

So number 1 in USA. Isn’t it ahead of PS3 Worldwide?
The RROD issue, is that still prevalent with the new Xbox design?
What are you talking about 98% chance of games getting chewed up?
And your last sentence didn’t make sense so I don’t know how to respond to that.
I like both PS3 and 360. Got a little tired of the Wii. Though I don’t feel the urge to vomit out hate of a particular company every time some news about them appears. There’s just too many better things to do in life, no?
I have all 3 hooked up right now, xbox 360, ps3, and wii. I also have DS Phat, DS Lite, and 3DS.
Xbox 360 definitely gets the most use. My original model unit rr’d some years ago, my replacement has been fine ever since. The wii and 3DS are good for what they are, and are supposed to be – really awesome toys.
The kinect I use more for yelling at than for waving at.
I used to use the ps3 quite a bit for blu-ray video rentals, but that stopped when the blockbuster video by me shut down. Now I just play wipeout on it every now and then.
My next big tech purchases I hope to be a Pureview Lumia (fingers crossed) to replace my N9, and some sort of hybrid win 8 Thinkpad. Then, I’ll have myself a nice little “ecosystem” hehe
Some technology sites refer this as a fake, but it still might have some truth in it.
Microsoft needs to build an ecosystem which can compete with Apple. WP-WindowsRT-Windows-Xbox is a good combination which can work. But it has a huge work a head of it…
why does this news appear at MNB? has Nokia become MS’s subsidiary or OEM?
Soon
Because this is part of the ecosystem Nokia is going into. You know what, there are plenty of non MS related articles. You can just happily stay there.
Ahhhm, again that Ecosystem who bring so much joy to 10k fired workers in Nokia, and don’t forget it also help Nokia with their shares.
Hahaha , Jay lovely response. Spot on !
I’m not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your
blogs really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back later on. All the best
