5. An All In One Media Hub
Microsoft's last dashboard update brought with it the advent of console apps, most of which were aimed at TV/video utilities such as BBC I-player, 4OD and LoveFilm. It should come as no surprise then that the XBox 720 is rumoured to be the all in one media hub, allowing a user to record live TV from an app whilst kicking ass and taking names on the COD battlefield, let's face it no true soldier wants to have to make the choice between the war on terror or the latest episode on Game of Thrones. Along with multitasking apps it is also suggested that any recorded media on the console could then be streamed to multiple devices, more than likely sticking with windows based systems. The ability to record Dr.Who through I-player whilst battling the Locust Horde does sound amazing but if Microsoft do choose to limit streaming to Windows devices then the several billon Iphone users on the planet will throw their arms up in protest to being exiled. Although all of these features sound very impressive but as none of them can be verified we have to take them with a pinch of salt. I for one can't wait to see what Microsofts next console holds in store but I think we can all agree that it will demonstrate a huge leap forward from the current Xbox. What features do you want to see in the next generation of consoles?
