I just got an xbox 360 elite and i just got gears 2.. i was wondering if they're making another xbox then making gears 3 only for the new xbox if you know anythin about this... tell me!!
I hope not, I think the current gen of systems is just getting started and would like to see it stay in the current gen for at least another 4 or 5 years.
It's been talked about alot, Microsoft has been developing it's next console for quite some time now. Given the average turn around for a console I would expect it as early as 2010 or as late as 2012. 2010 seems a bit early to me, microsoft will be the first out the gate again with it's new console but I think 2010 is a bit early. 2011 seems like a better date to me.
Microsoft stated back when gears of war came out that they have a fall schedule of gears-halo-gears-halo and so on. Halo 4 has already been confirmed as being in development for their next console and I think they have hired the population of Beligum to work on it. 2006 was Gears 1 2007 was Halo 3 2008 was Gears 2 2009 will have Halo recon and sticking to the formula 2010 will probably see gears of war 3 come out. That kind of turn around will only be possible if gears 3 uses the same engine and is still released for the 360 so I still see gears 3 being out for the 360 in 2010. Given that idea it's very unlikely that Microsoft will release a new console when such high profile games are still being released. I would say that the Xbox3 will probably be out in fall of 2011 with Halo 4 ideally as a launch title. Whether microsoft pulls it off is another question. We also have to remember that Mass Effect is still planned as a trilogy so if we assume the 2 year turn around for that as well we can expect that one to wrap up in 2011. It's still anyone's guess but I'd place money on the next console in 2011 and would almost guarantee that gears 3 will still be on the 360.

it will come out for this xbox i bet, coz its so easy to do now most the game is already locked. they got a solid engine and graphics, just need to add a few new features, new maps, new campain story and u practically got the game, cud be done in a year or so. since most the game is made, they can just use alot like they obv done for gears 2. then i think after wards will be for the next systems. maybe 2011/2012 u will see the next systems. not as early as 2010 and it wont be gears 4, they will rename it slightly bit like cod5 has been renamed. to continue the story
the ps2's life span was 6 until ps3 came out, and 360's been around since 2005 so it should have the same span as the ps2 was one of the most awesome consoles and still is -.-
if microsoft does release another console im gonna wait 2 years before i buy it.....you know, give them time to fix the consoles problems.olpfan
Right, so they're gonna repeat the EXACT SAME mistakes they've made before, costing several more billion dollars.
I'd imagine the console would come out in 2010 or 2011. They want to discontinue the 360 as fast as they can because it's not turning much of a profit for it but they don't want to rush it. Even if the Xbox "NextGen" is out by 2010, Gears 3 won't (or atleast shouldn't) be out until 2011. We need a new damn engine.
