This seems quite elaborate for a fake, but with too many questionable things to be real. A lot of the questions, I suppose, could be brushed off with "it's an internal document from 2010 for discussion purposes only"....but there's some that can't be. I mean, what's HSDPA doing in a console? What's a WiMax receiver doing in a console? HDMI and DisplayPort....both of them? And LVDS...really LVDS? (look it up....Google Image search will quickly show you why this isn't a thing that will happen). And not just HDMI, but also wireless HDMI?
Oh and that machine with all that stuff is going to be US$299 next year, including the next revision of Kinect, and sell for a profit from day 1?
There's a lot of nice, believable, plausible stuff in there, but there's some clear nonsense too, which does mean that this is either fake, or we're in for a very strange console.
I think some stuff has to do with it connecting to the computer, phone, tablet, microwave, etc.

I'm gonna quote twitter here...
Pro tip: if a major internal Microsoft document doesn't say "Microsoft Confidential," it's probably not real.
Microsoft's law firm got the original site for the document down, so it's real.
Also, for whatever reason I think Microsoft won't do as good sales-wise as people think next gen. Part of this is because of the third console curse, as well as me feeling that Microsoft is focusing too much on all these crazy ideas and not the main console features.
