Xbox 720 gains Microsoft acquisition

We?ve seen Apple, Google, and Facebook buy other companies and then integrate their technology within a new product or service. Facebook did it recently with their new Camera app, and now it looks like we?re getting a few hints towards the new Xbox 720, as we like to call it, receiving deep Skype integration thanks to Microsoft purchasing the VOIP company not so long ago.

Why do we think the Xbox 720 will gain from Skype? Around one month ago a job posting was published on Linkedin that had been titled ?Lead Program Manager? for Xbox. Within the content of this job posting you can see that this is a job at Skype headquarters in London, and that they?re creating a role for someone to help with new video and voice experiences for ?the next generation of Xbox?, now it couldn?t be more clear than that.

You can read more about this job posting in full below, or take a look at the Linkedin page here, which shows the key responsibility for this Skype for Xbox job. It also explains the business reasons for this project and that it?s the role of the Lead Program Manager to deliver Skype for a next generation Xbox ?to market on an aggressive schedule?.

They don?t explain what this time schedule is, sadly, and we cannot see any clues leading to a guide for Xbox 720 release date. Let us know if you spot anything crucial in the full job posting, which we missed.

All roads are leading to the new Xbox 720 although a price, graphics, and specs are yet to be revealed and unlikely to show at E3 considering Microsoft?s denial. Keep connected to In Entertainment for more Xbox 720 news, and we expect an increasing amount of solid leads like this to show as we move closer to a launch.

How would you like to see Skype integrated deeper within the Xbox 720?
