While it\u2019s already the world’s worst-kept secret that Microsoft is preparing to unveil the Xbox 720, a new report suggests that another version of the console will release alongside the next-gen hardware piece.<\/p>\n
The second console will be more affordable and accessible, and aimed at the casual gaming market.<\/p>\n
The console is said to use Windows 8, and while it won\u2019t run triple-A hardcore titles, it will support downloadable Xbox Live games and casual releases.<\/p>\n
The device will essentially be a set-top box, and will act as an “always on” device that boots quickly and resumes to provide near-instant access to TV and entertainment services.<\/p>\n
The device is rumoured to be revealed in 2013.<\/p>\n
