Xbox 720 for holiday 2013 - Report

I'm still in awe at some graphics I see on 360 right now, it's truly unbelievable how far games have come in all aspects. I'm surprised in a way that games can get better, especially graphically. Maybe a heavy turn towards 3D, virtual reality, controller-free, or tablet controller gaming is in store I'm not too sure. I hope there's a controller though I'm too old school. I mean it's been talked about 720 coming out for a while now, but what true need is there to release it just yet? Especially since kinect has only taken off within the past year or two and they released a newer version of the 360. I'll be shocked if it does come out next year, if they're hesitant to announce it that has to mean something. I can't honestly complain a whole lot about the games that are being released unless I really nitpicked. I think Microsoft, although considered all-mighty and powerful, needs to dominate the next-gen gaming scene.

The first Xbox only lasted 4 years before the 360 came out, but it's seems like it's the complete opposite with this generation. They can't wait to prolong it even further and even a 2013 holiday release seems optimistic at this point, although that would make the 360 last twice as long as the first Xbox. I understand that making a completely new console is expensive, it's got to be more powerful and all-around better than the last one. Anything less than that is not worth doing, but they can't keep this procrastination up for long. Even the Playstation 2 with all of its longevity and huge success didn't take that long before a successor was made (and Xbox 360 is no Playstation 2).

And "low-cost" model will be discontinue 6 month later after release.

I never can consider the Xbox as a gamers console. If I ever bought a 720, it would probably be the rumored casual version, that only plays XBL Acrade games.

I doubt the processor will be weaker on the low-cost model because even XBLA games are quite processor demanding these days.

rumors rumnors rumors

wait, it turns out to be xbox TV... lol

im sure it will be out for Christmas next year and the ps4 will follow soon after

The name will be xbox 00 (two circles) and the next one will be "Box, X Box".

Just to let all know that there is a converter for xbox360 and ps3 to use a mouse and keyboard Xim3.com

I honestly hope they wait a while... I don't want to shell out more money on new system.

They will only announce it at E3... and I doubt they will ship it a mere 5 months later - I am waiting for the PS4 anyways so I guess I will enjoy all the speculation a neutral XD

Im happy as long as it has MORE POWA

I hope all the extra features 90% of gamers don't use won't drive up the price. After all, I do have a computer to surf the internet already. The only time I see one of my friend's xbox on anything other than a game or netflix is when their girlfriend is using it to surf internet explorer. 

It will be very interesting to see what games launch with the system....

ah next gen console....how amusing you are, your flashy well marketed and over priced and always worlds behind the PC >:D trololo but real talk whats the point in a new console when most devs and or publishers have almost lost all creativity. we get a new system to play a shinier sequel that we already played just now it is pretty pretty shinny shinny. 

hopefully it can run bluray........... not much they can do with a new console that the old ones couldnt handle...... hd / 3d graphics what else are they gonna improve?

You know what's sad.. I don't want one, but I'm going to end up buying one anyway.  I don't feel normal unless I have all the consoles.  Haven't played my 360 in months, so  don't even know why I want another paperweight. I need psychiatry. 

Im not looking forward to the next gen, devs still cant seem to make games without tons of bugs and other issues

After seeing the next gen tech demo by Square-Enix (named Agni's Philosophy by the way), I cant wait to play the next gen consoles!! I wont buy the xbox 720, but I'll gladly buy the PS4. At least we got big titles coming for us to wait next gen consoles, like Ni No Kuni for JRPG fans (like me), Tomb Raider for action/adventure fans (me as well), and GTAV for sandbox fans (again). ^_^

a low cost alternative? pfffftttttt~

wait wait wait! That only means the Next Halo will be on the next Xbox. darn it :(

i don't think it will be called 720 everyone has randomly decided on that name i hope they don't call it that though because it would be a lame name. xbox  360 cool xbox  720 no need to name it that it just stupid

The real name will be Xbox Infinite!  not 720.   For you not in the know people,  it's not 360+360=720 , The 360 was a circle, so a double circle would be Infinite!    You've officially been pimped!

speaking of windows 7 i'm not even sure why it's even called that.  it's not the 7th version of windows (windows 3.1 95 98 me xp vista would make it the 9th version).  all i can think of is they counted 95 98 and me as one version.  or generation.  they did all look fairly similar.
