Xbox 720 specs are 100% accurate

The Xbox 720 will certainly be making some noise soon enough, but some new information regarding the Xbox 720 has surfaced and confirms what people have been hearing all along.

According to a report from Edge on Wednesday, a source with first-hand knowledge of the work being done on the Xbox 720 have divulged various details about it.

The person has confirmed the recently reported specs for the Xbox 720 are 100% accurate, which means the system will indeed be featuring an AMD eight-core x64 1.6GHz CPU, a D3D11.x 800MHz graphics solution and 8GB of DDR3 RAM.

The system's hard drive capacity has not been specified, but given the type of commitment Microsoft wants to make with online gaming and purchasing, there will need to be a monster hard drive to support it.

The look of the Xbox 720 and PS4 both seem similar in design, but Sony's system seems to be more conducive to producing power.

Developers who have been working with the Xbox 720 seem to have been given less freedom with the development libraries than those who are working on the PlayStation 4.

Microsoft is still committed to developing motion control technologies, as a new version of the Kinect will be shipping with the Xbox 720.

What do you think about all of this?
