Microsoft lawyers remove leaked 'Xbox 720' document

[Archangel Tyrael]

Paper claims new console will launch 2013 at $299, complete with Blu-ray and advanced Kinect technology.

 

 

A 56 page PowerPoint document that supposedly reveals sensitive information about Microsoft's next-generation console has been removed from the website it was leaked to.

The document, published on Scribd, claims the Xbox 720 will be released for the 2013 holidays with 4-6x the power of the current Xbox 360, at a price of $299.

 

It was removed following a complaint from Covington & Burling LLP, an international law firm that lists Microsoft as one of its clients.

The authenticity of the document, apparently written in 2010, remains a matter for dispute.

 

If genuine, the details within are difficult to verify as the paper appears to have been written in 2010. Games console design is a process that traditionally has one project undergo a multitude of redesigns.

 

According to the document, the Xbox 720 will feature Blu-ray compatibility, a form of augmented reality glasses, "Kinect version 2" and the recent SmartGlass service.

 

Some of the details, such as release date, match with data supplied by CVG's sources.

Part of me says this is real, but the lawyers seem more of a precaution. A safeguard because of sensitive dialog.

 

First of all there are talented people who could forge documents in such a pristine fashion and with matching character, second of all, the information is obviously sensitive in context to where legal firms are involved.
