Not One but Two New Xbox '720s' Rumoured
Some would say that the Silly Season for games journalism should end on January 31st. This is doubly true for 'Xbox 720' stories. But the following from Slashgear is too wonderful to let go...

There is not going to be one new iteration of the Xbox, there are going to be two 'Xbox 720s'. Even better than that, one of them is going to be a 'bit more unique' than the other.

Here's Slashgear's Chris Burns take, which is draws as its source an article by Don Reisinger speculating on... Slashgear.

"The first one will be no less than a fully functional monster of gaming, everything we’d ever hoped for in a Microsoft-made green beast of console-based power."

But... but... BUT!

"The second unit will be a bit more unique," says Chris, that's right 'more unique'. How so?

"...unique to people that’ve not yet experienced the current Xbox TV world, that is. This little unit will cost significantly less than the larger Xbox made for gaming, this little unit made instead to sit on top of your television and work with you via Kinect. This unit will be using Kinect controls, just like you can now with Xbox TV’s Kinect-based set of gestures, and will feature all the great abilities Xbox 360 has right now working with your television to bring all the Smart TV functionality you could possibly want."
