Durango will use development tools and APIs similar to those for Windows 8
The next Xbox will be officially unveiled on May 21st, according to a report.
In a What The Tech (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01qrzaZg7_g#t=56m22) podcast, as transcribed byAllGamesBeta (http://www.allgamesbeta.com/2013/04/some-rumors-about-next-xbox.html), technology blogger Paul Thurrott said that although the console had been set for an April 24th reveal, Microsoft had now moved the unveiling to the following month.
As well as seemingly revealing the date of the reveal, Thurrott also claimed the next Xbox would be priced at $500. He also claimed there would be a $300 subscription-based model of the hardware.
Thurrott also said that documents he had previously received stated the Xbox must always be connected to the internet to use. The statement further fuels previous speculation from a number of sources that the next Xbox will indeed require always-online functionality.
The tech blogger stated that Microsoft’s next-gen Xbox would launch in early November, close to the PS4’s “holiday” release.
