Could be Valve's console, could be a Smartglass dev kit, could be nothing. I guess we won't know for a while.

More interesting for me is the two people on the left. Is she...feeling him up? There's certainly something going on there, that's for certain...

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Might as well be a early version of the Wii-U controller that Nintendo shipped with the Devkits

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Honestly, I think Microsoft is going for something more heads-up. Like maybe the Project Fortaleza glasses.

do you mean google glasses ?

Actually, nope...

Oh god, that thing is fucking ugly and big. The Wii U controller is big, but at least it looks good and is not as bulky.
this can't be for xbox 360 can it?

It's almost certainly a prototype for developers if it is what people are speculating it is.
