Moin,
das war mir auch wieder eingefallen. Dazu passt auch die Flextronic-Stelle: den „IBM-P“ steht für Power-PC, worauf ja auch die CPU der 360 basiert. Laut den „XBOX World“ Infos soll die 720 ja über einen 4-Kern CPU mit je 4 Threads verfügen. Das wiederum würde zum Power 7 passen.
Zudem hat MS wieder eine interessante Stelle parat:
Product Engineering Lab Engineer-IEB-MSCIS
This position can be hired in Redmond, WA, Mountain View, CA or Austin, TX.
This position requires that the person will understand the design of Microsoft products to ensure that the products are shipped with the highest quality during mass production.

The person in this position will be responsible for identifying the factory / manufacturing issues and quickly diagnosing early field failures. Primary responsibilities include the analysis of the factory and early fields data to develop corrective actions and eliminate the failures. It requires interaction with the factory contract manufacturers, supplier quality engineers as well as development engineers.
The successful candidate will work with a small group of engineers to perform root cause analysis, develop and perform experiments, provide summary reports to management, and determine the proper course of action. Further, the successful candidate will expand their knowledge of other disciplines including, but not limited to manufacturing, mechanical, and silicon through the course of their work. Effective collaboration with a variety of peer groups across the organization is critical to this role.

Sieht für mich stark danach aus, als ob MS kurz vor einer Massenfertigung steht.
Die 720 dann wohl schon in spätestens 12 Monaten - kaum Zeit für die WiiU (sagt man es paar mal hintereinander hört sichs an wie ne Sirene) mich zu überzeugen.
