It seems that the Xbox 720 is not just aiming to dominate the gaming scene, but also tap into entertainment, considering the new reports surrounding the next-gen Xbox 720 having an integration function for your TV.

EuroGamer reports that you're looking at a potential Google TV competitor, which ties up neatly with the always-online reports of the next0gen console.

And taking the Kinect technology one notch higher, the Xbox 720 may even have eye-tracking and motion sensors that would aid the users when they're enjoying the console.

TechRadar adds that this puts the Xbox on top of Google TV, given its next-gen video game capacity and controller.

The Xbox Mini: What we know so far

As if to pacify the backlash of non-backwards compatibility of the next-gen Xbox 720, Microsoft is looking at the Xbox Mini, which can be connected to the next-gen console so you can play older games.

"It's no more different than what Sony will be doing with Gaikai for playing PS3 games on PS4," said a reported via TechRadar. "Only with Xbox, it will be done locally and not through the cloud."

The planned release will be for early next year, a few months after the expected Xbox 720 release in the coming holiday season, and is reported to have a price tag of somewhere between $99 and $150.

The rumored May 21 Xbox event may provide more details for both the next-gen Xbox 720 and the Xbox Mini.

PS4 going one level higher with games

"We were like, yeah we hate to see all the PS4 games being FPS or action-adventure or very photorealistic, you know, big-budget blockbuster games," said Shuhei Yoshida, president of Worldwide Studios, to GameSpot.

"And you know people like these games, but these are not the only kinds of games that people can have fun with."

In line with this, it seems that Level-5 is moving forward with a PS4 game title that makes full use of the features of the next-gen console.

"When you look at the five key principles behind designing PS4, none of them are hardware related, actually," said Akihiro Hino, CO of Professor Layton and Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch studio via Computer and Video Games. "It's all about how people use and experience, enjoy games, realized by the system software features and network functions."

This seems highly in tune with what Yoshida's vision for the PS4 is, and considering how the reception and enjoyment of fans was towards Ni no Kuni, the Level-5 game may be something to look forward to.
