With its Xbox 360 successor, Microsoft may just one-up Google for once. The new Xbox will reportedly be able to control your television and cable/satellite box, similar to what Google (unsuccessfully) attempted with Google TV, reports the Verge. The console will reportedly connect to your cable box via an HDMI pass-through (just like Google TV), which means you’ll be able to view both the next Xbox and your standard TV programming in the same video input.
