New Xbox Holiday 2012!!!!!!

It will happen. They are already putting the engineers in place to build it. Late 2012 is perfect and by that point a new system will be well deserved and the public will be ready. I predict 8 core CPU 6 gigs ram 1TB hard drive custom built duel ATI GPU. BC with all 360 games and enhances 360 games graphics and Kinect ready. Xbox live 2.0 that will feature full cable TV ready abilities. Also cloud gaming type service for on demand games.SpunkDust

I can't imagine MS offering us that much value right out the gate. They'll likely make us purchase a bunch of features after the inital console purchase.

An octo-core and six gigs of ram? Are you crazy? The 360 has a tri-core processer and 512MB of RAM and that was coming up from the Xbox's single-core CPU and 64MB of RAM. Seeing that big of a change from the generation to the next would kill any company stupid enough to even think about trying that.

lol TC HAS to be trollin us with those specs. It'll be more expensive than my PC which is like 2.8k

You need to change that tittle :?

I would get it anyway. 2012 seems to be the perfect timming to me.

You're on the serious defensive today aren't you? LOL

How much is MS paying you?

I'm looking forward to the next console, just being guarded about MS and what they did this gen with all the extra crap to buy that should have been included originally with the console in the first place. I think and hope they will not do it again next gen.

Yes. On PCs, where they cost >$200. When AMD releases octo-cores this summer, you can be sure that they won't be cheap. And if they were to release in 2012, then they'd be getting up the contracts within a few months and beginning production in a month or two after that. Unless you want to pay at least a thousand dollars on the Xbox 3, expecting an octo-core processer and a crossfire setup is crazy.

Microsoft already said that Kinect would cover them for the next few years. There is no way they'd just kill Kinect this quickly, especially after being the fastest-selling hardware in history.foxhound_fox

Eight cores? Consoles aren't PC's. When a game's running, your anti-virus, multiple internet browser tabs, massive download, and OS won't be running at the same time. Multi-threading isn't easy. Eight threads is overkill.

Six GBs? See above.

1TB is overkill for consoles. It's not like you save all of your music, movies, and entire installs of games on your console, do you? Destroying the resale value of games and promoting digital distribution would make larger hard drive sizes plausible next gen, but nothing that extreme.

DVD 2.0? Why develop that when Blu-ray exists?

Dual GPU...What is this? A PC?

yeah an extremely gimped tricore. it was basically a bad tricore with the performance of a slow pentium 4 & it only did in-order operations. The dualcores outperformed the 360's CPU.

That would be expensive. Anyway I just hope they make live free again

Microsoft will probably never use BR since it was developed by Sony

I would say a hex core processor seems rather unlikely and unneccesary for a Xbox console. A solid quad would perform just fine while staying within a reasonable budget. The last I heard Microsoft was still in the planning and research phase (in other words they just started) for developing a new console. They'll hold off as long as they can to keep raking in profits from the current gen console.

why not? I mean sony uses windows on its laptops.

And I predict a new wave of RRoD issues.

TheEpicGoat

Developed in part by Sony. They don't own the format, just like the DVD. The only thing Microsoft would lose going Blu-ray is a speck of pride for supporting HD-DVD.

Yes it is basically the new Xbox will be the multimedia center piece of the family room and can do everything like a PC.SpunkDust

You can already use the PS3 as a multimedia center, sans Internet browsing.

I'll never understand why people ask for all these specs. You want them? Build a PC.

If those were console specs that console would cost $1500.

Holiday 2013 the earliest, that is what will happen in reality

Xbox 360 has the best graphics on consoles by miles, why would they ever release a new system ? Crysis 2 on 360looks better than in 99.9% of PCs out there

And the most advanced motion controls too for the lowest price

Releasing a new system when you have the most advanced on the market in every way and in best price is rather crazy, will never happen so soon

The only new xbox we'll see soon would be a full hd version whcih would be a slightly faster xbox to do the same games at 1080p. thats highly doubtful though.

ms is just going to wait for sony and then launch a year ahead of sony. sony is nowhere near ready to launch a new console.

Wouldn't it be great if Microsoft completely surprised everyone at E3 this year by announcing their next gen console? Thats what I'm praying for at E3.

Not going to happen. If they made that console it would be WAY too much to sell to the general public.

The hardware will be faulty if they rush it out that early.
