Specs of the next-generation Xbox are being leaked so often that it is getting increasingly hard to keep a track of all the things. Last year’s ‘Durango’ developer kit was the crowning achievement, but much more has been leaked even after that gargantuan leak. VGLeaks, the folks behind the original hardware specs leak, have posted screenshots of the Xbox developer kit which also seems to confirm a number of previously leaked rumors. But the new bit of information is an always on and always connected...

It’s perhaps a foregone conclusion that we will see a new Xbox at E3 in June. In fact only hours back we filled some more details about the product that has been codenamed Durango.

Approximately two months ago there was a massive leak regarding the Xbox 720 and it seems like the Microsoft leaky cauldron fails to stop as an image of the next generation Kinect has been leaked. Twitter user @Superdae has posted an image of what is supposedly a sample from the Kinect 2 running on the next generation Xbox development kit codenamed Durango. (more…)Google+

After E3, it became pretty apparent that Microsoft was not planning on releasing a new console in 2012. That said, it was only a matter of time before the company released a new console as Nintendo had already announced its Wii U and the competition has the leg up over the Xbox 360 in graphical firepower.
