How is that any different from the 360?

My 360 is technically always online because it's always connected to the webz but I can still play games on it if it weren't online. To call the 720 "always online" specifically and not the 360 doesn't make sense in this regard. But then again this is all just a rumour and I'll just wait until MS come out and say what they really have planned.


The difference is that your 360 does not have a low power mode basically like your android or IOS device.  The 720 is rumored to be able to go to sleep but be still connected to the Internet.  In this mode various background processes can happen just like your tablet.  Kinect can wake the console up.  Various apps running can wake it up like Skype calls or messages can display during such low powered mode.


It makes sense. Still not going to change opinions of the console we know little to nothing about on this page, that is for sure. It still has to be confirmed and honestly? I can't wait.

 

See sig!
