強制在線那部叫Xbox mini,沒光碟機,賣149美元
720不會強制在線也不會防二手

Microsoft expands its Xbox brand

Getting to the point there are going to be two console as part of the redesigned “Xbox Line” of products. A repackaged and reoriented Xbox 360 unit and the new “Durango” gaming console, both designed to compete with more than Sony in gaming, but against Apple as well.

When the Durango (game machine) launches, it will not support backwards compatibility for 360 games out of the box. Instead, this functionality will come from the other unit that will be networked with the Durango to provide this (not unlike the DVD add-on for the original Xbox).

The purpose of the smaller Xbox unit is to compete with Apple TV, but also provides XBLA and 360 game support which will give it an edge over Apple TV. The rumors of “always online required” comes from the smaller Xbox unit which may not have a disc drive and like Apple TV it would require a network connection and internet to provide any real functionality. It may be possible they will design both consoles to be stackable.

Durango itself will also always be online like any other device (correct with rumors), but it will not be a requirement to play local content and it will not prevent playing used games. Putting in an Xbox 360 disc into Durango will prompt the user to attach the supporting device that is sold separately. By separating the two devices and their functions it will ensure price competitiveness for both pieces of hardware. Microsoft’s delay in announcing these products from April goes more inline with not having a physical set of devices to show (among specification updates), which should be ready by May or June when this information is officially released.

The price goal of the smaller Xbox is $149 or lower and it is likely to not have a disc drive and would require a network connection. Durango will be priced competitively according to PS4′s price.
Kinect 2.0

A different department within Xbox handles Kinect hardware and software. The focus was more on developing and networking both consoles with Kinect more of an after thought at that point, considering dealing with it would be less of an issue even with hardware changes to the main console hardware. Kinect isn’t the primary focus.

The development kits required several pieces of hardware as to combine all “potential” hardware which may or may not be required to work with each other, which also includes the potential for any or all devices to required a network connection, which is where most of the “required” rumors are coming from.

何不干脆开放pc安装xo的系统算了

哈，偶都说有机顶盒版呗。。

这样定位还能接受，各取所需，xbox mini相当于就是一机顶盒了吧

感觉楼主一向很神秘很有料的样子~~

CAO. 既能玩360游戏 又能当机顶盒网络播放器？？？ 靠谱？？

正犹豫买 APPLE TV 还是 安卓机顶盒呢。得。 都拜拜吧。

下世代PS4 还是720 继续观望。

但MINI 敢出就敢买。

微软赢了！

xbox mini是干啥用的呢？ 可以看网络电视？玩360游戏还是720游戏？

除了老婆以外，现在有什么东西是买回来只能自己用不能转让的？

有意。。。。

真相是这个


Adam Orth, the Microsoft creative director who caused a stir on Twitter about always connected devices in wake of an ‘always on’ Xbox rumor that day, is no longer with the company.

The news comes from Game Informer, who’ve confirmed his leave, but were unable to confirm whether it was a voluntary or forced resignation.
Orth has yet to update his LinkedIn profile, which still lists him as a Microsoft employee.

大家到底哪里硬了，还是看不明白

简化版360？

360的45nm_CPU+GPU整合方案处理器实际是为这货做前奏么？
工艺提升到22nm，缩小散热模块，砍掉光驱和AV输出。用大容量闪存替代硬盘，或者砍掉硬盘盒，直接将硬盘内置节约空间。估计kinect也会有。
这真的不会冲击自己720的市场吗？还是说这货才是下代XBOX前期的主力拳头？720前期只是作为跟sony“游戏机”对抗的手段，后期成本、工艺成熟了，再来取代XBOX mini？
