Awaiting Xbox 720 Reveal and what it should come with

Xbox 720 has yet to be revealed but will be revealed May 21 at a private Microsoft conference. Rumors about Xbox 720 circulate from Always-On internet requirement to backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 games. As time goes by, I can say that the former is false and the latter is almost true. What can make the Xbox 720 a great game console?

Backwards Compatibility:
Thanks to the presence of the Xenon chip for Xbox 360 emulation, it can not only play most Xbox 360 games but also run on the same AMD APU processor as Xbox 720, making Xbox 360 games with more enhanced graphics and resolutions. In this sense you could make an Xbox 360 game an Xbox 720 game. Maybe Grand Theft Auto V's Xbox 360 version could be used like a 720 version for those waiting for a version of it's own. Wii U has full backwards compatibility with Wii games but require it's own menu. With this Xenon chip you won't need an Xbox 360 console anymore but would instead say hello to Xbox 720. Playstation 4 won't have backwards compatibility with PS3 games.

Illumiroom:
Could turning your living room into a surrounding environment be awesome or what? What could Kinect 2.0 do? Illumiroon is not yet confirmed but is rumored to be for Xbox 720 and will be able to turn your living room into the environment of your game. No other console can do that.

Hardware rivaling PS4:
Will Xbox 720 have the same or better hardware specs as PS4? Xbox 720 will have AMD 8-core x64 1.6GHz CPU, a D3D11.x 800MHz graphics platform and 8GB of DDR3 RAM. The issue of loading times comes to mind as PS4's colossal RAM will allow developers to develop without having to load everything that you don't automatically need at the time being. Will Xbox 720 be able to do that as well?





Touchscreen and Kinect 2.0 Controls:
The Wii U Gamepad has you by suprise as it can act like a dashboard, tablet, and even second screen. Wonder if Xbox 720 could have a controller like the Wii U Gamepad while integrating experiences with Kinect 2.0. Xbox SmartGlass could be a predecessor to Xbox 720 tablet controller. PS4 will allow you to use PS Vita and PS Apps for other controllers as second screens but will Xbox 720 have it in a more convenient sense like Wii U Gamepad? I sure hope so.

Windows:
What if Xbox 720 also catered to PC gamers? Windows 8 can be used for this as I have heard.

On my line, Xbox 720 should include these and ensure that it is free of major problems.
