----The first position advertised is for a Graphics Hardware Architect, working with the team that is "responsible for defining and delivering next-generation console architectures from conception through implementation".
"The responsibilities include architecture analysis, key technology selection, architecture specification, communication and collaboration with extended Microsoft teams and partner companies," according to the advert.
Microsoft's preferred person for the position has been involved in the creation of graphics hardware and is familiar with the concepts of design, production yields and cost analysis, and at the same time is aware of how the hardware interfaces with PC and console operating systems.

----The second position has Microsoft hunting for a new Senior Architect and Performance Engineer for the Xbox Console Architecture Group.
"Our group is involved in product definition from early evaluation all the way through high volume manufacturing," the LinkedIn ad read.
"The main focus of this position is on performance evaluation and modelling. However, involvement in all aspects of product development regularly occurs. We are looking for someone who is flexible, and wants to be involved with various stages of the product life cycle. During different stages of the product life cycle responsibilities will vary."
----The final position sees Microsoft seeking a Senior Hardware Design Verification Engineer, responsible for elements of development in both Xbox 360 and its next-gen successor.
"You will be responsible for the design verification and qualification of the Xbox console at the component, motherboard, and system levels," according to the platform holder.
"You will lead test strategy discussions, develop test methodologies and plans and project-manage qualification cycles."
Al igual que el tio que escribe el artículo de DigitalFoundry estoy MUY sorprendido de que esto empiece ahora en marzo del 2011 y no esté tan avanzado como se había venido sugiriendo tiempo atrás. Apuntaría a un late 2013 tendiendo a 2014
Ahora a por la chicha, pad? Kinect? : D
