Xbox 720, Xbox Loop (http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/28/rumor-mill-next-gen-xboxes-kinect-2-to-read-lips-track-finge/) -- whatever Microsoft ends up calling it, that hot rod of a console looks to be on deck for a late fall 2013 release. According to IGN's sources, this successor to the Redmond gaming throne is purported to pack a GPU based on AMD's 6000 series (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/04/amd-launches-radeon-hd-6000m-series-endows-them-with-hd3d-and-e/) of chips and will boast silicon circuitry that catapults its performance past Nintendo's upcoming Wii U (http://www.engadget.com/tag/wiiu) by 20 percent. If you're looking for a more apples to green X's comparison, this next-gen console's (http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/16/microsoft-xbox-360-successor-rumored-to-arrive-in-2012-make-an/) graphical capabilities are also reportedly six times greater than its 360 progenitor. While MS is likely holding back its monstrous new platform for a big E3 reveal, it appears the company's still whittling down its spec list, with dev kits to be issued later this August. No mention was made of its rumored Kinect 2 integration, but we're more than certain that famous hacking tech (http://www.engadget.com/tag/kinect+hack/) will be front and center.
