Nasim seriously doesn't have a life.

Xbox is Playstations biggest nightmare.

Xbox is going to win. Us Americans are WAY too smart(hence why we lead the world)

Xbox 360 OWNS the Turdstation Fail this generation. And it will next generation. Microsft are already getting ready. They are going to get a huge headstart again hahahahahhahahahhahahhahaha

Poor insignificant PS3rd and PSP

yea bring out more scrambled eggs for us brits. we want a fry-up. this xbox 720 will be also great for sunbeds too.

The question is not if, but when.

Why call it a 720? Why? Why have people even suggested that name? Is it because we usually add 1, i.e. PS1,PS2,PS3 and now we are adding 360? I suggest the "Xbox 719" because then we have Xbox 1,Xbox 360, Xbox 719. As you can see the difference is 359 each time. 720 is a lame name beyond belief. MS have called the Xbox 2 the Xbox 360 err.. because it's going round in circles? Maybe just because it's a reasonably cool name. The next xbox will have a name though up by a brilliant marketing department no doubt. For now, why can't we just call it "the next xbox" or "xbox 3"?

MS are shooting to break their own record. The 33% failure rate. This time their going for double.

no

This droids NEED to Understand that if it wasn't for xbox live there wouldn't be a PSN. If the XBOX 360 never exited their ps3s would STILL be stuck at $599.Sony fans NEED TO UNDERSTAND that competition is good and is the only reason why your PS3s is push to the limit to fight against the competition.

You all better be thankful there will be a XBOX 720 so you won't have to pay high prices for your PS4.

It has gained a bit of market share vs xbox 1..... but they just better make deals with reliable manufactures.... and come one hire some decent engineers so that they can design a system that can cool down better.

"Arguably, the latest two platforms, the PS3 and the Xbox 360, came about too quickly."

Well, first I have to disagree with that statement because I feel that the Xbox 360 came about too quickly because Microsoft pulled the plug on the Original Xbox in 4 years and it really never got a chance to be as big as it could have been (on a global scale) and obviously the Xbox 360 was rushed, just look at hardware issues.

Sony came out with the PS3 6 years after the PS2 launched and Sony took their time with the PS3's development. I think that 6 years between the PS2 and PS3 was a very reasonable amount of time.... 4 years between a new console is just too soon to me.

I do think that this generation should last longer than the previous generation, but the Xbox 360 wasn't really built to last as long in the market as a hardcore gaming console in comparison to the PS3 and I'm pretty sure Microsoft will come out with a new Xbox in the next 2 years.

Still,the Answer is No

there will be xbox 3 and it will have better reliability which is the only reason people are holding off to buy 360 this generation. Otherwise price is very attractive.

if the next xbox releases in the next couple of years it will fail. it will be like when the original was released two years after the ps2 except with the ps3 this time. The ps3 will have dropped in price by then. come on now think about it. $300 ps3 vs $500-600 xbox 720 arcade or w/e . then MS will try figure if ps3 can start and be successful at a high price at launch why can't we.

If they do bring another one out they better not rush this out to be the 1st to the "next gen" we all know what happen this time and this same reputation will follow to the next until it s deem reliable.

Xmas 2010 will see the 720.

at least they fixed the problem bub unlike a certain company who merely put a bandaid over the issue and lessened the failure ratio by like 5-10% out of the +50% that it has. I haven't met a person with a xbox that hasn't had to get it fixed.

Yep. Halo 4 Gears 3 Xbox Live

This article fails as soon as it mentioned the Wild Tangent CEO. What that guy said awhile was retarded and showed he didn't really know much about gaming or the industry in general. There will be another Xbox it's a matter of if MS decides to keep the 360 around longer then the first Xbox. I doubt they will personally as it is costing them money as it still has the red ring of death issue. Even though the issue isn't as profound it is still around.

No.

Mention anything 360 and watch these fools flock like ducks 2 attack it but im here 2 protect it.

Hey Sony fanboys wake up the answer is YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think MS is between a rock and a hard place...
if they release an xbox 720/phoenix/next/flamingo whatever you wanna call it is 2010, thats a measly 5 years after 360, and the PS3 will be hitting its stride (if not sooner it seems) and who's gonna jump on an expensive new console from MS?

as much as people are for protecting their console of choice like it's a religion, people will be turned off by MS sending out a new console after such a short time. and with sales in Japan floundering, a new system probably wouldnt help. add in people who are saying "i wont buy a new MS console until no RRoD problems are heard of" and you have reason to see that not many consoles will be sold.

MS releasing the 360 a year earlier may have given them a slight advantage, but they didnt build it for the long run (a mistake looking back at it) and it seems that after this Christmas it's running out of steam quickly.

Now, im all for more competition because competition brings out better products and keeps prices (somewhat) down. i just dont see a good window for MS to release a new console until Sony does, but that wont be in 2010, i'm guessing 2012 (just guessing with the 6 years from PS2 to PS3 if not more) and even then, who'll trust MS?

Additionally, MS hasnt shown much for new IP, and while some 3rd party publishers have put some games only out on 360 (a la Dead Rising from Capcom) but that was just because the PS3 wasnt out yet. if they make a DR sequel (please, please do) it will be multiplatform. MS cannot keep shoveling out millions for exclusive windows or DLC, because after awhile people will just wait (if its just a few weeks like with RB2), they money they make up for that just isnt giving them a profit.

I look at the exclusive GTAIV DLC, how many copies did GTAIV sell on 360? how many people still have their copies? how much will DLC cost? how good will it be? how much DLC? how many people will buy the DLC? how many people have internet hookup to buy DLC? i dont see a profit from that.

I'd hate to see MS go out of the console race, because they do bring competition to the table and can give Sony / Nintendo problems (fighting for the consumers mighty dollar), but MS it seems it backed into a corner.

Unless they unleash a whole boatload of new, creative, original, fun and solid IP's (games), and SOON, i dont see things going well for MS / the next xbox system. The original xbox sold what, 25 million units? (i might be off by a few, but thats what wikipedia has) and the 360 has sold 20 million? (again, wikipedia) and as others have said if they keep pumping out Halo / Gears games is that going to sell systems? Sure, for some, but isnt going to attract new customers and help sell over 30-40 million systems.

I think of it this way, come early 2009 a ccustomer walks into a store with his parents "I want the 360! its cheap!", father remembers reading an article on MSN money (or something) that says a new MS console is coming christmas 2010! why should they buy the 360? either they might just pass on the 360 (or everything) or see the PS3 and see that the PS4 is still 3-4 years away. what would you do?
then again, some people are anxious to buy whatever is available and cheapest... so who knows...

MS would need something big for next gen, and the price would have to be amazingly matched (somehow) to what the PS3 would be at that time in order to survive in my eyes. I hope they do, but if any company releases a system before 2011 they aren't getting my dollars... not yet anyway...

I should imagine they will sell over 30million 360's. The last xbox made most of its sales in its last year and a half when it was cheap. the ps2 also has sold more in its last couple of years than it did in its first 3-4 so the 360 should easily surpass the original in terms of sales.
end of 2010 seems a good time to release the next one, that will be a five year cycle which is about right. And people will still buy the old one just like they do ps2 at the moment.
Ive had my 360 and ps3 since day one and will be more than eager to jump onto the following gen by the time it comes round.

YES, competition is good, lack of it results in stagnation of a market. MS and SONY are constantly attempting to outdo each other, where would that motivation be with no one to out do?

than the next one would be xbox 1440p the New High def system

they did not come to guickly.
