We’re either going to have a very long wait for the so-called Xbox 720, or it’s going to be around for so long that our national pastime will involve giant robots box each other into oblivion.
Our first fake look at the next Xbox comes courtesy of the “Hit Back” trailer for Real Steel, the Hugh Jackman vehicle set in the near future when “human boxing is dead” and boxing between robots is for some reason a thing that sounds even remotely logical.
Obviously, Microsoft’s futuristic Xbox visual gag is just part of the movie’s product placement — the trailer is slathered with Bing logos — but at least we know we’ll still have delicious Del Taco leading into the robot apocalypse. Seriously, you think they’re just going to let humans control them in battles to the death for long? We’re so screwed.
