The Xbox 720 is the common term for the successor to Microsoft's Xbox 360 console, although no formal naming convention has been yet been established and it is also known as Xbox 3, the NextBox, Next Xbox and sometimes by its internal Microsoft codename Durango. The Xbox 720's release date is widely expected to be in the final quarter of 2013 with a formal announcement expected during E3 in June 2013 when it will be unveiled to the wider world. The Xbox 720 may feature Kinect 2.0, 3D sound, Augmented Reality and will undoubtedly integrate with Windows 8 and Windows Mobile through Microsoft's SmartGlass technology. Key Xbox 720 titles may include Halo 5, Forza 5, Battlefield 4, Watch Dogs, Star Wars 1313 and possibly a next-gen version of GTA 5.
