The Xbox Next PC as its called in research done by the B/R/S Group is described as a videogame system with a harddrive and full PC functionality.
One slide describes the unit, which would require a PC monitor or high definition television, as being backward compatible with current and next-generation Xbox titles. It would also play PC games and include a fully functional version of Windows, CD burner, DVD player (with remote control), built-in access to Xbox Live and a hard drive. Control-wise, the system would come with both a keyboard and mouse and a standard Xbox controller. The price point this particular study tested was $599.According to Microsoft this is just "one amongst many, many other consumer scenarios that we're looking at".
