Xbox 720: Real or Not?

Rumors of the release of a next-gen console have been buzzing around for the past few years. Lately we have heard of a project involving Microsoft Corporation. The Xbox 720 has been keep secret for sometime now; however, signs of its unveiling have come to light. In 2010 a document, which in 2011 became a full blown schematics, disclosed that Microsoft has been trying to take video games from it's player's television and place it into his/her vicinity. Two years ago at E3, they showed first signs of this by introducing the first motion-sensor gaming technology called “kinectâ€; it revolutionized the way we look at gaming. Recently Microsoft had this document patented. The patent states: “An immersive display environment is provided to a human user by projecting a peripheral image onto environmental surfaces surrounding the user.†This basically means that your playing space will become part of the game. The Xbox will be producing the primary image on your television while producing the secondary images on your wall. The 720 sounds amazing by itself, but Microsoft has more to add. Some of the accessories will be: a depth camera that generates depth information, a newer version of the kinect system, and glasses similar to 3D glasses that will allow the user to change the character's point of view. It sounds far-fetched, but the rumored release date is sometime next year. Will this technological revolution come true or will it be another rumor on the wind? Either way it gives gamers like us something to look forward to this coming year. The real question is: Are we, the gamers, ready for such a ground-breaking ordeal?

Give some edits. I honestly think that this will be good because everybody is anticipating this and it will answer some questions people might have. Thanks

Here are some light edits, it seems like you need a few structural changes as well to help the piece flow better but that is a weak point for me as well so I wont dabble in it

Creamy, I don't see any change in what you put up, if you make an edit, put it in bold, or make some mark where it is easier to distinguish what the edit it.

I'll be reviewing these later today.

Also, just because the subject is good, doesn't make the article good. Things that will satisfy the reader: REAL, accurate information, juicy details that people have been asking for long periods of time, all from a trusted source. If you pick some random site or Wikipedia, it may not be true. So go back and ask yourself those questions and maybe a few more.

Only thing I can see is in the sentence, "Rumors of the release of a next-gen console has been buzzing around for the past few years." Has should be have.
