I already had this idea 5 days ago:

Hi guys. I just wanted to say that some of the internal leak from 2012 (which leaked documents from 2010) are still quite spot-on with xbox one, even the name! :) The specs of course changed since then but the goals itself seem to have been set in 2010 already!

Perhaps it also tells us what we can expect from Xbox One in future?

To mods: If posting the pics isn't allowed, remove them :)

If the price is really $299 that thing is going to do big numbers for the holiday!

Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Very interesting. When I saw that article come up about a year ago I kind of figured that quite a bit of it would be true (and was hoping for it to be true).

I hope they announce the price and release of The One tomorrow.

Wow, that is some extremely impressive planning by Microsoft. Its kinda scary how some of the things in these slides came true. I wish they'd shown us some of that illumiroom stuff at the reveal cause that looks amazing.
Also, a $299 price for Xbox One would actually be VERY good and could hurt the PS4 if the PS4 costs $100+ more. hmm, even though I'm currently favoring the PS4, if the Xbox One is $100 cheaper then I may actually start siding with the Xbox One again (provided the exclusives look great).

I'm not clear if that $299 goal doesn't include that 2 year subsiding. If it really was only $299, then I think the Xbox One would outsell the Wii's launch! That would mean it's only my double my $149 launch Kinect from 2010.

In all fairness, they say the cost of hardware in the original Kinect was calculated about $50 in 2010 - I'm sure it would be lower now. And Microsoft has said, they were subsidizing it at that level. Which is why the SDK for Kincet for Windows was $250. There has been a massive investment in research regarding the ‘Natural User Interface’ aka NUI, so who knows how much went into Kinect. And how much went to the licensing to use the 3D camera.

I think the rumor is the new Kinect ”Time of Flight’s” 3D capture is all Microsoft’s.

It does sound to good to be true, even for a good Friday deal. But so many other things have come true…

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

Tell me a funny joke!

$299 could very well happen seeing as M$ doesn't care about losing $$ as long as they can get this into people's living rooms.

If that does happen then this holiday belongs to Microsoft, and probably the generation. Sony don't have a chance at matching that price.

The vast majority of gamers in the US use gamefly and/or Gamestop. So, no....just no.

Last time I checked, Gamefly had less than 1/2 a million users, and US Gamestop customers will still be able to buy and sell used games. Though I doubt the two of them account for the "vast majority" of the US games market, anyway.

Any system that cuts out used sales via ebay/Amazon while allowing publishers to charge "fees" AND elimates rentals from gamefly/Redbox, is NEVER going to do well. When you add in the fact that people are unknowingly going to be buying a system that forces them to connect, in some cases, every HOUR just to play the game they bought? Yeah, not good.

Anyone who thinks MS is going to win this generation is delusional and COMPLETELY underestimating and/or insulting consumer's intelligence.
