A New rumor has surfaced today in the Xbox 360 front and we are not talking about the successor to current Xbox 360 in the market but an upgraded version which would be designed keeping Windows 8 in mind.
As reported earlier by winrumors today, Michael Pachter,Wedbush Securities analyst believes that the new Xbox 360 is being prepared by Microsoft for the holiday season of 2012 that would operate Windows 8 operating system which is also slated to be released around the same time next year.This new Xbox 360 would be an upgraded version of current one and not the much rumored Xbox 720 the successor to Xbox 360 which is in the talking for a while now.
This is what Michael Pachter,said about the expected hardware update for Xbox 360 to operate Windows 8,
“I think the rumors are based upon leaks about modifying the current Xbox 360 to allow it to operate Windows 8,”. “I fully expect a new model of Xbox 360 by holiday 2012, but don’t think we see a new console altogether from Microsoft until 2014.”
The update to existing dashboard of Xbox 360 is expected in a few days and the Metro Styled Dashboard would hit Xbox 360 in December.As we already know that Microsoft is planning to bring closer integration of Xbox Live Services to a PC user can play multiplayer game with the Xbox 360 user and a Windows Phone user asynchronously.
