I'm confused - there's nothing wrong with the angles in this photo? Are you saying they should all be the same?

It could be correct, depending on the focal length. Read about vanishing points.The perspective is all fucked up...
My guess: "xbox" is pasted into the image by someone who can't adjust it according to the perspective.
Of course that doesn't mean it's real.

They didn't even give credit wow. But I really don't like this website for some reason.

Assuming the X logo is a perfect circle, one could figure out the angle and perspective just using that.
I don't feel like doing it though, so...

Indeed:
(the above image is extremely large in length)
It was only done in Paint and isn't extremely accurate as a result and I used the pre-existing lines that had been added so there's probably some margin of error but I definitely wouldn't rule out the possibility of it being a perspective. The Windows 8 logo uses a single point perspective too so it wouldn't be uncommon:
Regardless, I certainly wouldn't think that means it's legitimate at all (I'm still very skeptical of it and I'm inclined to not believe it) but just because the lines are inclined differently doesn't mean one should rule out the possibility of it being legitimate just yet. EDIT: The blue and purple lines were added using the vanishing point and were alligned with the top of the "X", "b" and "f" (blue) and the "r", "o", "m", "o" and "x" (purple). While, again, it is still not very accurate due to it being done on Paint, they allign fairly well.
EDIT: Also, I'm not a fan of the logo regardless of whether it's real or not. If real, I'm interested in how it relates to the console.

New logo looks like a tile spacer...or the "x" from the game frustration.

So uh... this seems like a random twitter account.
Why do people think it may be real?

Unless of course the "new way to play" simply refers to...you know...the new console.

Yeah, I noticed the metadata too. I got this string:According to its metadata, the image in the twitter feed / OP was exported from Adobe Photoshop CS 5.1 for Macintosh. This was done at 03:19AM on the 17th March - but strangely in the +11:00 time zone. Can't find any countries of note in that time zone except a few small islands. I think I should give up while I'm ahead
As for the timezone, American Samoa and the Midway Atoll are in UTC−11:00. I assume you can fake that somehow if you for some reason want to make it seem like you are somewhere else than at your current location.<rdf
The typeface in the logo I assume is Segoe (or some variation of it, like SegoeUI). The symbol I don't like. As been pointed out by others, it looks like "Y" with some dot connected. That could be very confusing for the average consumer, so I doubt it's anything concrete. At it's height it's a concept.

And what font is that, Arial? I'd take the Spider-Man font over that any day.

And with one article VGLeaks has brought into question the validity of all their other articles...
a crying Y was my first thought.
Ugh, just what I was going to say.
Did VGleaks seriously make an article about this with absolutely zero proof beyond a fake Twitter account?

well they did say rumor
I don't see how my post gives the impression that I'm curious about anything.
That's what VGleaks always does more or less.
Holy shit, it must mean that the recent XDK screenshots they posted must also be fake!
They've been posting rumors from around the web, on top of their own "insider/exclusive source provided" rumors.
Well Paul Thurrott did re-tweet the image. Not sure if he's seen the logo before or surprised by the leak.

The person he's asking also seems to think its real-- that being said I guess it could just be random people on the internet telling him.

I've been searching everything I can think of on twitter to see if I can find anything. I actually found something...that looks like a copy-cat or absolutely ridiculous (maybe).
I was typing things like xbox2013, nextboxevent (stupid I know), durango2013, xbox event, xboxlive2013, etc. After many a silly searches. I got a hit on liveevent2013...and lol'ed.
I sent it to VGleaks a little bit ago and they said they think it's fake, due mostly to cost (not due to it being new or off the wall...which makes me think 100% fake).
I hesitate to post it...because I have no clue if it's a copy-cat. Last time I posted some random thing that I wasn't sure about the source or its value, a lot of people here got pissed. I'll never understand why people take the internet so seriously,. I think I'll just ignore it and wait to see if it comes up elsewhere.

I believe this is the logo for the next-gen Xbox, though I think hews slightly more fluorescent.Xbox
Microsoft thought to themselves: the Vita is selling so well we have to get in on that action.
