Next-Next Generation Xbox?

So various sources are reporting on a supposed leak of the next Microsoft console’s (dubbed the Xbox 720) hardware. In it, they’re saying that the console will have the equivalent of an AMD Radeon 6670….giving it the ability (this is of course what that card can do) to play games in DX11, 3D, along with multidisplay and 1080p output, giving it approximately 6x the processing power of the current 360. The likelihood of all those features is very slim....but we can always hope! It would be awesome if console players got some of these same features as PC players have now. True 1080p is amazing, and it would also be great to have the 3D and multidisplay support as well. What all it will incorporate is to be seen, this could change at any time as well. Given what we know….or think we know, this is definitely going to be a promising console to look forward to!

It seems that development kits will be available to developers as soon as August. So I would say there’s a possibility of a 2013 release....but if anything it would be later that year at the absolute earliest.
