On December 30th, 2004, the United States Patent and Trademark Office accepted a patent application submitted by Microsoft for a "System and method for parallel execution of data generation tasks" for a video game console.

Almost six months ago, there were images circulating on the Web that claimed to be a schematic drawing of the Xbox 2 from a patent application. Around the same time, Team Xbox ran the image and reported a source had tipped them off to some of the features fans could expect in the next console. Several other gaming sites picked up the story, but eventually Microsoft "asked" (read: cease and desist letter) Web publications carrying the image to pull it down.


Want the full story?!?!?!? stuffo.howstuffworks.com...

I believe it going to be the Y-Box, at least shaped like a Y.

Why would it be shaped like a Y?!?!?!?!?!

To be like genetic. XY As in male.

they aren't going to do that.... the patent was shaped the same as the original x-box......

Ok, we will see.

No company ever makes something that looks just like something else they have.

well i know that! I am just saying it won't be a Y..... i think it will just have a x and a 2
