in 2011 I`ll be on some Island collecting 20% off of all the Fanboy comments I`ve made...lol

If it`s got games...I`m there @ launch-

Killzone 2...

I don't want another console for a couple of years. A new Xbox wouldn't be very welcome, I think.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn

hopefully it won't break. Also it better have my netflix still.

My 360 has already taken care of me with superb titles. I'm more than satisfied. Bring on the next one. As long as it's a huge upgrade. I don't want to see an upgrade like the Gamecube to Wii.

So long as its RROD free,we wont have a problem

Not a chance I'm buying it at launch if ever. 360 was unreliable garbage and is still a crappy system imo. It's like watered down god awful PC gaming. Only way I would buy it is a must have launch game and reliable hardware... with an internal power supply.

2010

I want new xbox this year pc is way powerful now than all gaming systems we need system that has 8 GB ram instead of crappy 512 mg !!

Especially if microsoft pull off the work they are doing about forward compatibility.

It's Xbox 360 is already displaying its technological old age. But then again, with how stupid some Xbots can be just purchasing new units over and over again when the old ones always break down on them, why cut off that inflow of cash?

Seems perfect. The 360 will be quite outdated by then and PS3 will just have picked up steam.

I think we will see at least 1-2 gbs of ram in the next xbox.

then the PS3 will beat the xbox 360 this generation. Future proof, remember that. the xbox 360 is already capping. the PS3 is just beginning.

I don't think so....Microsoft always come with cra9y hardware and i don't think xbox 720 is going to be all that or M$ will surprise us with something better than the RROD.

I never mentioned the ps3 at all....all i said was that microsoft always come up with cra9y hardware which is true...like the original xbox which was huge and looked funny....360 the very popular RROD....next microsoft is going to superise us with something different

PS..
My Ps3 and the 360 is part of me, that because i play it dum @ss

This gen is starting to look dated. It would be nice to play games at true 1080p and PC quality textures. Its time for the next step.

Sorry Perjoss for calling u a dum @ss..i feel kind of bad calling u that bro....coool?

I hope to see close to 8 cores and at least 4gb to 8 gb of memory for the CPU and GPU. IM sure they will push for full hd 1080P it will have a blue-ray player. but am not sure about the hard drive if they do they will keep with the removable drive like the 360 but I hope all new xbox 720 will have hard drive standard. I have a strange feeling with the size and cost of sold state memory coming down in price that maybe they will not have a hard drive at all and it will all be sold state, it much fast much more reliable and quite with very little heat. talking most computer and devices having sold state and the passing of hard drive with 1 terabyte storage.

I guess will have to see in a few years.

ok too early for this tell all of this next year

That because the only good games on the 360 is Gears of war 1 and 2, that's it nothing else inspired me on the 360 @ss face sak500

For the first time since in my gaming life (which goes back a lot of years), I'm not sure I'm going to bother buying all the major consoles in the next-gen.

Nintendo have blown it for me. I don't care if the Wii2 is High-Def and adds some sort of brain control device... They've shown the types of games they are now making, and they no longer appeal. I've had every major Ninty console and handheld and bought both the Wii and GameCube on launch day so it's sad to say that Ninty offers me nothing now.

I bought a 360 on launch day, and had an Xbox before. MS have done a helluva lot of things right and moved the industry on a lot. But in '08 they stumbled a little in my opinion with their games. Also, I'm cautious of how they introduce a new console - will the just kill support for the 360 when the 720 launches as they did before? That would be tough to swallow, and it still niggles me at how short the Xbox's life was. MS also need to ensure their hardware is rock solid (which I'm sure they will). I'm on my third 360 and my warranty runs out next month...

The PS3 was an a bit of an embarassment to begin with, but seems to be growing. Gamers who bought a PS3 at launch were simply paying for Sony's R&D costs - I didn't like this. The PS3 was a trojan horse for the Cell and Blu-Ray. But they've started showing their strength recently and anyone who owns a PS3 will tell you it's a quality piece of hardware with a growing library of AAA games.

With the number of exclusives diminishing it seems pointless to own both an Xbox 720 and a PS4. The Xbox brand seems to be relying far to much on Halo and Gears. Two games that I think are fun but over-hyped. Sure MS have a load of other good games, but similar games can be found elsewhere (For example, Mistwalker may be exlusive, but their games are simply traditional JRPG's). The only franchise I'd miss by not owning an Xbox 720 is Fable.

I can only see Sony improving it's exclusive line-up as it has a great stable of 1st and 2nd party devs. MS seem to be doing the opposite by getting rid of 1st party devs.

Right now I'm leaning more towards the PS4. By the time the Xbox 720 launches the PS3 will probably be hitting it's stride. So not only will I (probably) get more life from my PS3 - possibly 10 years or more, but by launching later, and from (hopefully) learning lessons from the PS3 launch Sony should be in a strong position.

I'm hoping MS give me a reason to buy their next Xbox, as I'd hate to break my streak of owning almost every console since the late 70's.

No way am I being a MS pawn ever again.

I always buy all consoles on launch day going back to SNES.

Purchased Xbox - premature abandonment by MS, for market share even though it had the best online service and more horsepower in its hardware

Purchased 360 and I am on my third one now and once again MS will jump off this , even though it does have more horsepower

MS is hosing gamers and they have NO good long term strategy for hardware besides hosing the gamers

PS4 in 2012. All machines will be underpowered compared to our expectations thanks to Nintendo ruining the industry.

Hey man im happy just as long as its backwords compatable and carries gamerscore/achievments/gamerta gs

Also i hope you work on better hardware this time Microsoft, i think you learnt your lesson with the RRoD though.

i wish it was tomorrow. bring on the next gen MS. i hope it can be hacked :P

I'd buy one now, but i'm willing to wait...

Hope theres an option to turn off achievement gamerscore on the the gamercard though...

I don't want any part in such chavy concepts...

In the next generation Sega will make it's triumphant return to hardware with "Dreamcast 2: Electric Boogaloo!"

Finally we can get more Shenmue.

720 Demands are as Follows:

More than 8 Core Processors!
at Least 1GB of Video Ram
80GB of Hard drive(can Be optional to get 20 GB SSD,but fully supported SSD in bios)Meaning faster read and Write and bootup!!!
Raid Capable fully supported!(this is probably more important than anything actually!!!Remember main bottle in computers today is Hard drive!!!!

Minimum Memory Bandwidth of 200GB per sec:
Last and not least Fastest Blu-ray Drive!!!

Wrong! If Gears of War 3 is dropping in Fall 2010 then the 720 or whatever it'll be called will be out in Fall 2010. I don't see MS putting a new console on the market less than a year after their goose drops another golden egg. They'll be released in tandem IMO. Halo 4 should also be due (overdue according to some) around that time from Gearbox or whoever does it.

see I think MS shot therselves in the foof for either Not fully Supporting HD-DVD or Not Supporting Blu-ray.

I just hope they come up with a better solution than DVD.:(

but I'll be happy to own all 3 new systems once they arrive.:)

I don't think that will affect its sales. The Nintendo Wii has been technologically outdated sense its release date and it is selling like hotcakes.

But maybe I'm wrong; the X360 does have a more hardcore crowd than the Wii.

From Microsoft.

a big chunk of gamers like myself like to see new systems every 5-6 years..... and possibly shorter...many gamers now used to be PC gamers only and they have been used to tech changing on at least a yearly basis and I believe that its getting close to that time that we need some new systems.....

I duno tho thats just me but I love new tech and love getting new systems....and dont really care for using the same outdated stuff for more then 5-6 years because I know there is better out there....and the fact I make money and have it too spend...........

O and a lil fyi...for anyone in here complaining that the generation would be too short etc.....well all I got to say is..... If you have a hdtv and a big surround sound system etc for your gaming then you really shouldnt be in here complaining...because if you can drop a couple of grand on you home theaters like most of you will brag about then im sure you can handle a $400-$500 price tag every 5 years er so

So the bots are willing to pay for a new console after 4-5 years? He.

It better have the following.

Bluray.. DL movies are the distant future, the forseeable future is Bluray.
Quiet fans
BIG HDD as standard
WiFi built in
Failure rate well below the industry standard
Chargable controllers (ie no further purchase necessary)

*sigh*

Speculation.

Man, I should become a game "journalist." Making up stories based on one or two assumptions and out of context quotes is way easy.

This just in - The Uncharted Gears of Mario Universe coming to the Nintendo Playbox 720 in 2015! GOTY CONFIRMED!

I've been playing games since intellivision LOL and I can honestly say it means jack! This gen has been throwing all kinds of paradigms out the window.

So, there are a few things we probably (ha!) can all agree on though - MS will launch before everyone else. Sony will have the most advanced system...and if they've learned anything will launch with several must have titles.

My real confusion lies with Nintendo and it's choices this gen. They have completely lost the hardcore market - and are happy to do so, they've created a license to print movie with the Wii. But...and this is the real gamble, can they repeat this kind of success? I say no. This is why - the casual market is simple not the kind of market interested in upgrading to new tech or buy a game that is essentially the same as their current Wii version...the system doesn't push high end graphics. Why would a casual gamer, the moms and party crowds care to have super realism or advance spatial lighting?

We Hardcore gamers have been playing many of the same game play styles for years and are happy to have minimal innovation as long as we have stellar advancement in graphics and push things like number of players and physics improvements.

Just my thoughts...I think unless Ninny has another "gimmick" up it's sleeve...say 100% replicated movement in reatime + HD which we all suspect is coming...then Ninny will be last next gen. Bold words...we'll see what happens in 3yrs or so i guess.

Hahaha Great news!!! better fix the RROD and make sure to be more longer on the market.. :) 360 is now already outdated after 3 years..

this entire generation, people have been speculating about the release dates for the next generation of consoles!

WHAT NEXT? People are gonna start speculating about release dates for PS5, and PS6??

Fine! The PS5 in 2020!!!

There're games already push to the limit of 360, what more can they do? soon the developers gonna feel that what they can do on 360 is limited, and there're still more space and potential for the PS3(some already knew).

I think 2010 or 2011 will be the key year. M$ will have to do something dramatically to stay ahead of PS3(like Bill pulling a xbox720 outta his a$$ in front of press conference)

...and this is about all i have to say on that matter.

I concede you speak the truth.

What I'd really like to see - is something that is surely impossible (sarcasm)...

It would be soooo cool if say Sony had secretly designed the PS3 or lets say for the next gen - PS4....a secret upgradable add on that allowed ram and an additional CELL to be "plugged in" by the end user.

Could you imagine the surprised look on MS (not so much Ninny...but they'd still be interested)! MS could release a new 720 and Sony releases a $100 add-on that doubles the already crazy amount of power the PS3 already has! Now making a console like a PC in terms of upgradability might sound odd...but this gen's machines are closer to actual PC's than ever before. The trick is keeping upscalabilty a secret from the comeptitors...and the trick would only work once.

EDIT: it just occurred to me that this would actually be impossible as devs would need to know...and they would talk. Anybody see how this COULD work?

All the x-bots have to shuv their old x-boxes up their asses and twist it 720 degrees now??? Common M$ give them some credit.

If its already dated how come the Ps3 still has yet to surpass it? Uncharted looks good but its nothing that couldn't be done on the 360.
Killzones graphics are stunning granted but at what cost? Linear level design and standard A.I? Maybe it won't have these flaws we will have to wait and see but so far i haven't seen anything on one console that couldn't be done on the other.
Nov 2010 sounds okay for a new release. 5 years is standard so its about right.

Does anyone think that it is really going to be called the Xbox 720? Why not Xbox 361 or something?

Sony hasn't given approval for next-gen game to have any launch dates.
so why the rants?

you know what, i'm getting sick and tired of this site. it's pathetic and juvenile.

no quality control what so ever over the articles that are published.

n4g is quickly becoming a tedious and tacky site. a joke.

you have a month to sort yourself out or i'm gone

The next MS console:

2 Core Larrabee 2.5 (64 X86 ea. Total 128 cores) 3D design with EDRAM 72MB Free X12 AA
2 GB RAM
250MB removable SSD Drive
Option USB3 optical Blueray/HD-DVD drive
Motion Controller
Game Streaming enabled from xbox live marketplace
BC enabled only with Optical drive attachment (think some xbox360 components inside)

MS contracts with Intel to do thermal design and layout of new console.
NEC tapped again for EDRAM

PS4 in 2012? I thought sony said this was a 10-12 year console? they did not even hit their stride yet with the ps3. No way does Sony come out with a console before 2015.

2015 is still early in comparison to the estimates they gave the consumer. They are in a real tuff spot. Everyone knows that MS will drop a new console in the next few years with all the new bells and whistles but sony will have to sit on the PS3 (not a bad thing) for considerably longer. Botom line is I don't see how sony can put out a new console so soon when the PS3 is yet to hit its stride and turn out some really kick ass games like we all know it will.

And the Xbots make fun when they say the next PS3 will be released in 2012...

And one year later, 2012, it won't matter because we'll all be in deep sh1t.

Have i got this ground breaking story right? Microsoft will release the next xbox in 2011 but they might not. WOW what an exclusive!! I'm working on an article too, Microsoft will release a handheld but then again they might not be arsed and sony may release the ps4 next week but they might not.

I know enough people saying "buying a launch system bit me in the ass this generation and I'm not going that route again".

Xbox 3- may or may not come out depending on if the shareholders
are going to want to go threw the gaming fiasco for another 5-6 years.
But I dont expect a huge jump in the tech, like this current gen.
Remember alot of devs cannot afford to produce HD era games as it is
hince the similarity in titles. CoD, Halo, Gears, Resistance, RB6V etc.

Wii2- surprisingly will not be that different from Xbox 3, simply because the tech will be cheap. Nintendo is all about getting good tech for cheap prices and games will be comparable between the two.
Leaving gamers to decided between Core games (mario,zelda,Wiisports, etc.) and fad games (Sandbox, RTS,FPS).

PS3- 10 year life cycle, nuff said.

btw-SMG is the highest rated game this gen!!

Sony hasn't given approval for next-gen game to have any launch dates.
so why the rants?

is if they are bout 2 drop the 720 proably in 2011 they better get started on the 720 games...because i c the 360 bout to die down soon.. and microsoft working on the 720... but with ps3.. i see sony finnaly getting that look with cgi in all their games.. when the ps4 drops..im not even gonna say nuttin bout the wii or the wii 2 cuz im not buying it lol... just not my style...
