Forums - Microsoft - Paul Thurrott weighed in on the NeXtbox rumors shared some info from his sources

I think we won't see a classic console from Microsoft. They're planning something, obviously, but I have no idea what exactly it will be. A normal console with all that bulshit just can't compete with PS4 in any way. I think it will be some kind of all-in-one box with Windows 8 and stuff. Gaming will just be a part of it and I wouldn't be surprised if each and every Xbox 3 game will offer native PC Support via Windows 8.

As someone else already said in another thread, there is just too much smoke for there not to be a fire. But a normal console wouldn't last two seconds with always on and such a high price tag. So I think we are really in for a surprise.
