Microsoft, according to insiders at Toshiba owner of the HD DVD patents,
claim that Microsoft is working on a brand new Xbox that will incorporate
not only a new HD DVD drive but a large hard drive and new entertainment
software that is a spin off from its struggling media centre offering.
The device is being developed in response to the PS3 driving sales of games
software and Blu-ray content in several countries. A recent Sony Brand Wave
study conducted in five countries including the UK, Australia, France
Germany and Spain revealed that a key reason that consumers are buying a PS3
is because it includes a Blu-ray player.
Recent GFK research reveals that the recently launched Xbox 360 HD DVD
attach player is not selling well. Another factor that impacted early sales
of the Xbox 360 was that Microsoft failed to include a HDMI port - omitted
because Microsoft wanted to cut down the costs of the console in an effort
to compete up against the PS3.
The new Xbox device, while allowing for extensive gaming capability, will be
positioned as an entertainment hub that includes gaming and extensive
wireless networking capability as well as 1080p playback. There is also talk
of it including a dual HD TV tuner and EPG capability and a docking port for
an MP3 player. For Toshiba, the device is critical if it is to be successful
in beating Sony and the Blu-ray promoters.
Also being discussed is the development of an open standard docking port
similar to the 17 pin iPod port. This would allow all manufacturers to use
the same port for docking.
