i really dont think they should make a new xbox any time soon

i just want to see everyone's opinion on it do u think they should make a new xbox within the next 5 years?i think the xbox360 right now is great and they should really need to make a new one until 5 years or more later. i mean all they really have to do is just update it once in a while and keep the news going. Plus many people are just getting a 360 and i really dont want to spend my money on a new console anytime soon. Anyone agree???

I think you are correct, i think they need to fix the rrod even more and with natal coming out it should last long' and they couldeven add attachments to natal for the 360 to last longer.

Yeah, you got a point, Microsoft already has a lot of success with the 360 and shouldn't make a new one so soon. G4 also made a point that more consoles shouldn't come so fast.

The potential of both the 360 and PS3 has barely been tapped into thus far....graphics-wise. The only limitations that devleopers are facing with the 360 right now is storage, cuz DVD's only hold 7-9GB of data. Some games for the 360 are already coming in 2 discs. But yeah, I'm really happy with my 360, and don't see any reason to upgrade anytime soon.

As long as it's not before Nov. 2012. Shouldn't release anything before then.

Plus Natal would be fine with working on future systems, I'd say it won't be about hardcore graphics or anything, so it'd still have 360 support.

Yup. Computers have dealt with multiple discs for a decade. Crysis- 3 DVD discs. I had Battlefront 2/Madden on 3 CD discs. Tons of PC games on 2 and then the occasional game that fit onto a 700mb CD and still had a sizable campaign and the best replayability around.

Though, I would think you can install the entire 2nd Disc, and just use the first disc anyways. So meh for me. I install every game I get.

PS3 has some mandatory installs with some select exclusives, so it seems to be a trend one way or another.

Agreed, the current xbox we have is good enough for now imo.

And having a game on 2 discs isn't a bad thing, some of my favorite games have been on 2 discs. One being Abe's Exodus for the PSone.

Yea, i'm more then happy with the 360. if the RROD is fixed then theres no reason for a new xbox just yet.

I'll be ready for a new Xbox in a little over 2 years.

I really don't care when they come out with the next Microsoft console because I'm having a ton of fun with my 360 and there are still a lot of games that I want.

2012 imo would be a good time.

Sorry bud but that is wrong.... I own Crysis and its on 1 DISC only. (well actually I own two differnt copies because one came free with my videocard and the other I bought few months before. Both copies are only one disc for isntall and to play, same with CRYSIS WARHEAD)

I don't think there should be a new console anytime soon. What else can you add to the X360 that it doesn't already have? 3D gaming?

I'll be pissed if they release something in the next 3 years. I've spent too much money on games and accessories for this damned console for them to release a new one so soon.

Some games? Has there been games besides the upcoming Mass Effect 2 that required 2 disc? Either way even if a sparatic few needed 2 disc, thats not a problem in the least bit. ^Natal has to prove itself before its anything more than a gimmick for MS. The only thing about MS is when they do come out with a new console; they need not rush it this time and make sure the hardware is reliable. Sepewrath

i agree. i could go along time with the 360 ESPECIALLY if they fix the rrod. then i would be a very happy camper. besides i imagine people don't have the money for a new console at 500-600 dollars anyways.ghost5891

NO,NO. Keep the 360 for a long while...

i just bought mine hope that another MS console will not come out anytime soon, whats the rush anyway, the gaming industry just scraped the xbox and ps3's potential

Backward compatibility is the thing here. If they make sure I can play all old Xbox and Xbox 360 games on a new console, I wouldn't mind buying a new one in about 2 years. Backwards compatibility could've been handled better with the Xbox->360 transfer though, so not keeping my hopes up.

I don't really care when they release it... as long as they spend a good amount of time creating a quality product that is stable and will revolutionize console gaming with the new technologies available today.They may as well add in 3D support, perhaps a higher possible resolution given that 1080p may be 480 in the not too distant future, and whatever else they think they should do to make gaming more awesome. If they're just going to release a more expensive expansion of what currently exists as their next gen console, then I would be sorely disappointed.

What are you talking about?

Oblivion was on one disc, as was Mass Effect.

The earliest a new console could ever hope of reaching us is by 2013. That would make it an 8 year life cycle. Not bad by any means. And its important for Microsoft to continue getting head starts on Sony.

I don't want to see a new console for at least another 3 years.

In this day and age with game consoles getting to $300-$400 and up and with games around $60-$70 and up I think they need to let these systems stay around longer than they have been. It costs too much money for the average person to keep up with the trends. They cant expect someone to fork over $300 and then turn around a few years later and spend more on another system. Just doesnt make sense.

The xbox 360 is nearly 5 years old .

the consle is huge like a brick

graphics are showing there age like -MW2 Forza 3. AC2 is ok but the textures are a bit suckish

a new slim model with no RROD and some new graphic drives would be good but then again would you buy it ?

I prob would not buy a newer slim model, but a newer looking one would do some good for astetics.

I think the current generation of consoles cost so much money to make that the companies are planing on holding off for a while.
