The new Xbox may require internet connection

The dates that Microsoft and Sony will present their new consoles are closer every day. According to a very reliable source, it appears that there is some very important information with regard to the future Xbox.

This confirms many rumors circulating since last year. According to the site EDGE, important sources have confirmed that the new Xbox will use an eight-core AMD processor at 1.6GHz, a graph will also incorporate D3D11.xa 800MHz and 8GB of RAM. Storage capacity is not yet released, but it seems that the games will be sold on Blu-ray 50GB. Also is also expected to go on sale a new and improved with future Kinect Xbox.

Anyway, I still need to mention the bad part of all this. According to the report, the console will need an Internet connection to work, so we could go and discarding used video games. The new games will have an activation code, thanks to which a copy of a video game can only be used by the initial users. If this proves to be true, you can no longer play games previously used on another console.

If Microsoft really tries to stop buying games resold, loyal players may begin to consider other consoles, such as the PS4, for example.

It is expected that the new Xbox is anuciada during the E3 show in June.
