Still a lot of conjecture. But if the specs of the Xbox 720 are true, then the next generation will be an interesting one. It is a bit dubious that they are now making the kinect come with the console. Could this co-inside with win 8 being touch screen ready. I remember when kinect first came out, some guy actually used the kinect camera as a "minority report" style interface. Obviously MS decided to take that idea and implement it to the new Xbox.

If it's going to be "quite like halo" then it's nothing new. I would have thought that after splitting from MS, it would ACTUALLY take a risk on creating new IP. Not something that is a reminiscent to their last work.

"Square Enix also said upcoming MMORPG Dragon Quest X was showing "steady progress."

- does that mean you'll rush out a very badly done MMORPG, make it free to play - then decide to redo it from scratch. And then being "vague" about when it will be released. Reality is, SE have made some really bad business decisions. Coupled with the fact that they are starting to alienate their fan base and customers. The tomb raider game will be a make or break for SE, in the eyes of the gaming industry. But I doubt it will bring back the fans.
