If its true and an ARM arch is used, I wonder if it says anything about their next-gen system's hardware. Seems a bit strange to use ARM in between two PowerPC systems (assuming they stick with IBM) when it comes to backwards/forwards compatibility between platforms. I suppose this 'lite' system could just be a red headed stepchild, stop-gap product that they're willing to toss aside at a later date.

If they're courting those developers and building that ecosystem, uniting the architecture and development platforms would be a big win.
- ConstantineXVI 15y agoIt's possible this system could be limited to XNA; which would ensure that whatever runs on this theoretical 'lite' system would also run on the 360, Windows Phone, and likely any successor to the 360; thus the arch would be meaningless.
