Well I can't get them to copy but here's the text

Microsoft's president of Interactive Entertainment, Don Mattrick, fired a shot across the next-generation bow with the official announcement of the Xbox 360's successor.  The console promises to usher in a whole new world of interactive entertainment.

"Netflix and Hulu fans will find plenty to love," says Mattrick.  "The streaming-video services work hand in hand with Bing, making it easy for viewers to find new content with their voices."  If that's not enough, the Kinect 2's advanced motion-tracking tech monitors blinking and can be used to bypass all of Xbox Live's suggested videos.

Social networking remain a focus for Microsoft, and the updated Web browser streamlines the Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter experiences.  "Cloud storage, Pandora, Instagram," recites Mattrick mechanically.  "Pinterest, Flixster, Meetup, Pinterest."

The presentation concluded with a surprise concert from recording artist Sting, accompanied by Felicia Day pretending to play the sax.

Whether or not the system has any gaming capabilities is unknown, but it can be controlled with an iPad, sort of.

I was a big fan of Sting when he was with the Police and during his early solo career.  And what sort of market is the nextbox marketed towards?  Retro Sting fans?

This is why MS needs to present their system soon. Too much time and they will build up negative buzz.



Cool they have Pandora app. That means I should see a Pandora app on Wii U in about 2 years.



I just want to see a price.



I'm confused... where is this from? Source/link? Is this supposed to be a GameInformer leak from a next month's magazine or something?

Or is this some piss poor attempt at a joke? lol



New rumor out today.
Supposedly, you will be able to plug your tablet into your 720 and it will load onto the tv screen where you can use kinect to control it.
