XBOX 720 RUMORS

With E3 merely a couple of months away rumors have have been running ramped on the net about the next generation xbox known to speculators as the "Xbox 720." Out of the latest batch of rumors, gaming sites like IGN claim to have the inside scoop as far as specs are concerned.

IGN claims from a reliable source that the Xbox 720 will be six times more powerful than the current model Xbox.

Another gaming site, Kotaku is claiming the 720 will run on Blu-Ray disc technology and introduce a Kinect 2

That's not the only news around the Xbox 720 rumor mill, this one a bit more disappointing if true that the 720 will some how restrict gamers from playing used games on the new console as a way to put a halt on the used game market which has proven to be quite profitable for places like Gamespot but less profitable for publishers who don't get a dime off of resold games.
