Video game leaks let us know what’s gonna happen before it happens. But sometimes, leaks can be wrong. Leaks can be VERY wrong.
Plans change, nothing is set in stone in gaming, and while that often feels like a cover story for when legit information seeps into the public that wasn’t intended for the public, there are times where this really is the case.
Take what may be one of the largest leaks in gaming history, at least for a console manufacturer.
The Xbox 720 leak.
While today we see similar leaks for the next gen Xbox, this was a bit more concrete.
A lot of information about hardware that nobody knew anything about.
And while the final product showed some of the features the 720 promised, and in many ways exceeded the product shown in the leak, it’s clear that Microsoft at one point had a much more ambitious plan for it’s eighth generation game console.
So let’s look back at which of these leaks actually happened, and which were changed, and why they may have been changed.
