You're absolutely right that the leak came out before the Surface and I think even before E3. However, I think it was just a big mistake by the leaker who pieced together different info into a single idea. We now know MS has full win8 integration with 360 and neXtBox via Smartglass. We now know Surface is the new tablet experience that is kinda a child of the original Surface full table device. We also have solid rumors that the rest of the specs are fairly close to the continuous rumors of Durango. But, that won't be confirmed for awhile. MS won't name the next Xbox the same as their tablets. It will have a unique name. I really think this is just some leaker getting various info on Ms products and kinda merging them together. |
That's why I thought the device name "Xbox Surface" sounded legit and that was before the new tablet Surface was announced. Either way, what you say is also true, with all the convergence devices been launched left and right, the tablet Surface a few days ago and Windows Phone 8 today, adding another 7" device into the mix sounds like an overkill even for Microsoft.
Seems some users have already jumped over the dubious specs, good stuff!
