So to be back on topic here.
With the 360 now meant to include Kinect 2, Kinect AR glasses (Maybe more then 1 pair??), 8-16gb ram, 8 Core CPU etc how much can you guys see this system launching for?
Also what are the chances of MS Releasing their next big games multiplat on their own systems? Halo 5 released on Surface, Windows 8 PC, Xbox 8 etc??.


Rumor is 499.  They will also more than likely be uising a subscription plan similar to phone plans for people who dont want to pay 499 up front.

And doubtful that they will launch across all platform.  They may do some games but big games like halo is doubtful

To the bolded i can see that happening as it seems to be the road they are going with testing it out with the 360.

To the underlined. Main reason i said this was cos of how MS seems to want to go for the Apple model of having all their apps/games working on all their devices/OS.

I think they just might see all their '8's' Systems as 1 platform ie Windows 8 for tablets, windows 8 for PC and Xbox 8. But then i can see how they might keep Halo an exclusive on their console and release some of their other games multiplat on all their systems.

Well they already do that anyways.  Like Fable III, Gears, Alan Wake, and a few others they allowed to go to PC after a while They wait until sells are pretty stagnant before doing so though.  Like Forza they always bundle it when it starts to slow down which is usually at 3-4 million. So i think they will continue that strategy but who knows I could be wrong lol

They do seem to want to connect all of their devices but I think certain features will be limited on certain devices.  The NeXbox will be a multmedia center for example so I believe the phone/tablet could work as a tv remote and you can stream videos and smaller games on your phone/tablet.  PC will likely be able to use xbox live but not play retail games on it.  Just my prediction though.
