Paul Therrott is rarely wrong.
edit. Also and ex colleague of mine recently left and is now working for MS and is er.. working on some Blue update stuff. My company is part of Super-TAP with MS so we're under heavy NDA ourselves. Well we met for lunch and I asked him about the Blue updates and he smirked, and hid behind his NDA. I told him we're under Super-TAP NDA with his company and he didn't budge lol.. But his body language when I asked if Blue had anything to do with nextgen XBox was pretty clear. Now hearing about possible timed kernal updates with the announcement of the nextgen Xbox almost seals the deal for me at least.
Will be interesting to see what MS has up its sleeve. I'm expecting some kind of cross connectivity between Windows/Xbox that is unmatched by the competition.
I wonder if Microsoft will choose to incorporate So.cl; their version of Twitter into the new Xbox, or even market it to anyone for that matter.
"So.cl"
Read: Social.
I posted all my .gifs there
was incorporated into PSN instead:

User "Fleshfeast" noticed that MajorNelson has a tweet asking people to spread the word about Microsoft recruiting. Which leads to this website:http://www.rightnowatmicrosoft.com/xboxbeyond .. which you can dig further into and find what looks to be Xbox Jesus.
I slapped some ∞ on it and called it a day.

That's a good expectation to have. After all, it only makes sense that Microsoft would use weave its greatest asset (Windows) into its entertainment nexus to creative a cohesive experience.

Lofty.
You know what's interesting about this picture? Well, two things really:
1.) What does the bottom most (on the right side) line point to? Why is it out of the frame of the picture? There's something to that.
2.) Microsoft Man has a box full of entertainment, but he still has "his eye on gaming."

Eh, I was wondering where the gaming icon was, and only now do I notice that his face is a controller... (I did see the buttons, though).
Second epiphany : his mouth is a kinect !!!
But what's the flying bird/dragon for ?

I only just realised that his mouth is Kinect lol.

It's not Jesus, it's a wizard. Wizard Jizz is finally happening!
it's a design, it means nothing really
I don't think so. I think it's kind of a little wink-and-nod by Microsoft of what's to come. There's a reason why there's an icon that's now shown, and I honestly believe there's something going on with this all. Maybe the controller as the face signifies gaming, but to me that seems like they're trying to indicate gaming is still their most important thing. Same with Kinect being the mouth.
Xbox Jesus needs to be in the title of the Xbox Event thread.

Kinect at the mouth tells me they're going to be heavily focused on using Kinect for voice (text to speech, audio commands etc).
Good catch, that makes a lot of sense.
As I have noted previously, I think it is almost guaranteed that Durango will be built around Kinect. Also, there will be some sort of Siri like function to Kinect, this would help to explain the always online rumor.
It's basically what's written on the site
The same statement as Sony - everything, everywhere.

I wonder what the bottom right one leads to?
Interesting picture, the controller as eyes is less than subtle about their intent toward gaming going forward, and another interesting touch using Kinect as the mouth, a less than subtle hint that Kinect will be a big focus for them going forward.
The other pictures, music, movies, messaging, pictures, emails, video capture and a bird?

Sony's grave.
"Music, movies, social and games converge and become accessible across any device, anywhere, and that’s just the beginning." Could well be.
Now now. Let's all be sensible here.

What is that yellow logo that looks like a bird? Almost a fake Twitter logo.

So access to select games on your phone or laptop?
Interesting, adds some weight to the picture of the bird suggesting you can access your next xbox games via a capable device.
This is all starting to sound like the Nextbox has Windows 8, and there's going to be some sort of cross-platform play involved with their games. Very interesting right now. I'm guessing we get a Kinect controlled Windows 8 Xbox, maybe with some other touch device as well? Who knows, but I'm very excited!
If Microsoft brings it...oh is gaming going to be sweet again. Sony is hungry again because of how much they fucked up with the PS3, and Microsoft still doesn't seem to be where they want to be. This could be a full blown war for customers, which mean we all win!

They're hyping up a service (cross play) that Sony's already introduced... :/
edit: I think I meant cloud gaming... which Sony's Gakai has that covered
I can only think of cloud gaming. Or, a crazy rumor of mine that ties in with developers not being able to code to the metal, you can play Durango games on Windows 8 devices. There is a 99% this won't happen but it's fun to speculate.
Skulls of the Shogun?
Phil Harrisons Cloud comments start to make sense.
... and MS already does. Kinda.

From the other thread, one gaffer suggested that nextbox will be powered by Blue...
Yeah, but they might actually show them in more depth. That's the key. If they only show 2 minutes of cross-play, and say they're "planning for it to happen on all titles" then they're fucked. Microsoft needs to remind people why they're the best with online features. This is their time to make their ideas known.
Sorry, but what's Blue?
Off-TV play from my 720 to my 620? Sounds interesting.
Yeah. Phil Harrison has been a big supporter of cloud gaming for some time now.
The next update for windows 8.

No, Blue isn't just an update for Windows. It's an update for everything. It's supposed to signal a sea change in almost every part of MS.

I hope so. That's what he's in charge of.

I see, I see. Interesting. It's all coming together.
I have a very big feeling that nobody is going to just dismiss the Nextbox just because its specs aren't as powerful. I'm going to guess that it has features that a lot of people will want on the PS4, and the PS4 will have a lot of stuff that people want on the Nextbox. It's going to be a real split, not like the Xbox 360 and PS3.
