The much fabled one Xbox 720which was supposed to happen to Xbox 360was not just a false rumor, but a real project, which was replaced by that of Xbox One. This is what emerged from some internal Microsoft documents dating back to 2012, with fans considering the canceled console to be better than the one that actually arrived on the market.
A console that pleases
Xbox 720 was supposed to be very different from Xbox One. The starting price It was supposed to be $299, and it was supposed to be six times more powerful than the Xbox 360. Like the Xbox One, it was supposed to be a well-rounded entertainment machine, which was supposed to function as a hub for console games, but which would also allow users to play mobile titles on the TV by switching from the console.
According to the plan, it was meant to be backwards compatible with all the games on the Xbox 360 (a feature that the Xbox One only had later), it would not have been necessary to always be online to play single player games and there would have been no systems to limit the sharing of games by users. In short, the complete opposite of what was advertised for the Xbox One and which caused quite a few problems for Microsoft's marketing.
Of course, this is just a project, so we don't know what level of development it has reached. However, Xbox fans all agree that if the successor to the Xbox 360 had been the Xbox 720, the start of the Xbox One / PS4 generation would not have been so dramatic for the Xbox.
