    Default Xbox 360 Successor rumored again

    Original Story:*An unconfirmed document allegedly leaking out of Microsoft reveals the company's five-year plan, price, and features for the Xbox 720. The 56 page document looks at the possibilities for Xbox 360 in 2011 leading up to the launch of the next generation in 2013, which includes a new Kinect sensor at launch in a $299 bundle. Notable changes include a blu-ray disc drive, as well as a focus on and tablet integration. IGN is already confident that the next-generation will begin in 2013, and the plan for tablets to talk to consoles recently rang true.

    Notable goals and features for the Xbox 720 include an improved Kinect sensor with four-player games, accessing your media library anywhere via cloud streaming, and not needing to upgrade hardware ever again. Most notable is the rumored plans to create glasses that give players a heads-up display/virtual reality interface dubbed Fortaleza.
    Fun fact: Fortaleza is a state capital in Brazil, as was Natal.
    Update: The document in question has since been removed from its original source at the request of Covington & Burling, a law firm that advises Microsoft. No word on if it was removed for being a forgery or not, so we've inquired with the firm as to why.
    Microsoft responded to IGN stating "We do not comment on rumors or speculation."

    I've seen the document. Looks pretty outdated.

    It was from 2010, so some may have changed by now, but I suspect that for the most part it hasn't changed much.

    The codename for Kinect was named after a Capitol as well, Natal.

    New pic leaked:



    The "Stationary Computing Device" section seems to be the next Xbox specs, and it looks like they will be announcing a tablet as well. This all comes hours before a press event tonight where they will be revealing "something huge". Looks like this could be it.

    I'll believe it when Microsoft announces it.

    Microsoft Surface revealed:



    It looks like those leaked sheets weren't lying. I'm willing to bet we will see the next Xbox announced either later this year or next E3.

    Everything was looking good until I saw the Windows 8 interface.
