1. It is in HD, and it has the potential for stereoscopic 3D
2. It will be similar in design to the original Xbox 360.
3. It will be backwards compatible with the Wii, and has the ability to use the Wii remotes.
4. It will have new controllers that could potentially look like this:
Thank you IGN for making that great visual moke-up of the controllers. The biggest and most obvious feature of course is the touch screen in the middle.
5. One of the most important things is that sources that are familiar with the project say that this new console will launch THIS YEAR in October or November. More details will likely be announced in June at E3. Stay tuned here for more information as it becomes available.

Quote from Article 2:
ReplyDelete"... A dual 2.4GHz and Bluetooth system would also support the claims that the controller could allow users to play games without the use of a TV, making it a handheld tethered to the range of the 2.4GHz transmitter, of sorts. If video and audio are simply transmitted to the controller itself, it could effectively end battles for living room TV usage or splitscreen multiplayer."
I've gotta say, this would be so sweet! I'm pretty sure the controllers are going to be dang expensive with an HD touchscreen and all, but if they do this then it'll totally be worth it. Just sayin.
