XBOX 720 Smaller & Cheaper than 360
Blogger MS nerd, who Industry Gamers notes has previously reported accurate early information on Microsoft's abandoned Courier tablet, says the machine will also contain ARM-based processors and run a version of Windows 9.
"With a heady mix of rumors, tips and speculation, I am now stating that Xbox codename "loop" (the erstwhile XboxTV) will indeed debut a modified Win9 core," claims the report.
"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," they added.
"It will be cheaper than the 360, further enabling Kinect adoption. And it will be far smaller than the 360. It will also demonstrate how Windows Phone could possible implement Win9's dev platform on the lower end."
These claims come amidst increased chatter surrounding the next-gen consoles, most recently from respected industry site Develop who rumoured that Microsoft is planning a Christmas 2013 launch for the as yet unannounced Xbox.

But if its cheaper, doesn't that mean that the hardware inside is less expensive so that means that the console is worse than the 360? The ****?

This is great news, but I'm unsure why it would be cheaper. Unless they're trying to attract more consumers, which makes sense to sell more and earn more money overall.

straty Why the hell would it be cheaper? What are they looking for more sale numbers? Or is it going to break quicker than the 360? If it is cheaper with no faults with it what so ever it will be amazing.
cheaper isnt a bad thing its just newer technology is getting cheaper to make.

Smaller and cheaper doesn't sound good at all, unless you like having ALL your content including full games, DLC based?
