Molyneux says next Xbox 'not nearly as exciting' as 360

how many yrs do ppl think the 360 ps3 etc publishers will continue to make games for these consoles ?

hi hi hi ofcause 'its not nearly as exciting' for you, we fired you, you now the outside guy looking in at all the excitment happening inside

I want a gaming machine i dont care about Smartass,Netdick,Facecook,Tweetzer and Youpube

I never really got how the 360 was that big of an upgrade over the original Xbox - maybe in terms of features and online content, but in terms of gaming - it wasn't that much different. The original black Xbox was an amazing machine...especially compared to the PS2 and Gamecube. I really hope the next Xbox is an amazing machine - I already plan on it being my living room entertainment machine since the 360 did a good job of it. I fail to see how they can make a bad machine.

I hate the headline, but after listening to what he said in total... he's not wrong.

You know, after talking to a bunch of people outside of the internet, I realize that people actually really like all the features MS has on the 360. I can't even blame them for having it. Plus, so many things are becoming multimedia devices. There were a time people complained about phones not being just phones anymore, this is just progression of technology and it is something people will have to accept

I'm no Xbox fan boy but this sounds more like a disgruntled ex-employee.. That being said, if the rumors are true about the 720 and its always online bull crap, then this system is going to fail big time. Only a complete idiot would buy it..

I agree with him somewhat. I want my consoles to be gaming machines first and foremost. I don't care about Smartglass, Netflix, Facebook, etc. All those apps and cross-media interfaces mean to me are that my consoles are now bloated with things I have no interest in.

It's a matter of taste, is all I'm saying. Hell, I didn't even care that my PS2 could play DVDs. I just want great games; I don't need a console trying to be multimedia center.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Molyneux. These consoles are just trying to be everything-machines and you know for a fact that a lot of the launch event later today will be dedicated to that. Leave the smart phones, tablets and PCs to be everything machines. Media capabilities are a good thing, like USB media, disc media support and video service apps, but don't put emphasis on it and leave it at that! Also if you're going to introduce music services, we're only interested if we can use them in games. I think Sony has a better idea this gen.

Cheer up Peter. Order some pizzas via the Xbox's Pizza Hut app. That's exciting right? Right?

In story after story they tell us about the looming superiority of mobile gaming, about people's desire to always play with legions of friends...

Really? Is that the way most gamers feel? I want superior single player experiences. MP games can be fun but I spend such a tiny fraction of my gaming time there... and mobile gaming? Gamers aren't moving to mobile gaming; non-gamers are playing games on their phones and tablets. That's different. Much like with the Wii mobile gaming is attracting people who don't normally play video games. Our demographic isn't changing so much as people who would never normally buy a console suddenly find themselves playing Angry Birds...

Molyneux says it won't be that exciting. So you know it's going to be damn exciting.

Said the guy who is scamming people on 'Curiosity' app

I support xbox all the way

Well, duh, because we all know what to expect from it - CALL OF DOOTIES. Yes I am quite excited for Xbox 720, LOL.

Was not the case with 360.

I use to like Molyneux but slowly this guy has gotten on my nerves. Not because Fable never lived up to his dreams. I can't fault a guy for wanting to making amazing games and thinking big.

So he created the God game genre... What else exactly makes him such an expert in the industry? He's been mainly a part of a pretty focused group for a long long time making very specific games.

Yet he talks like a grizzled veteran that’s seen it all. If he was so vastly experienced in the industry why did his games so often miss the mark or end up in niche markets?

I liked him better when he dreamed big and kept his opinions on other people's work to himself.

I think many people will either be blown away or completely disappointed...

Anyone willing to buy a nextbox at launch needs their head checked after the rrod bs. I'm not going anywhere near a microsoft launch console. I wonder is the nextbox will have a cheap plastic tray to put your game in like the 360. Hell the controller will probobly still need AA batteries. Oh and don't forget $60 or more a year for live.

Oh c'mon Angry Birds VS Gears of War ????

Wonder what number would come up if the people behind Angry Birds would publish the playtime in the game , and not how many times it was downloaded....

Same goes for the rest of them "crap"ware, let's face it, I to download all sorta stuff on the iphone,android to check it out, to pass time for like 5 minutes when I'm bored.... but besides that those games can't compete with a console or pc's for that matter.... it's like comparing some Italian serials to Huge Hollywood blockbuster movies...

And I don't care about connectivity, I just want quality games , better graphic... possibly the removel of achivements, and that stupid avatar thing... and all will be fine.

If I want to connect with friend I'll use facebook like the rest of the abnormals, I don't want no company to force it on me...

Man I wish people would shut up about tablets and smart phones.

If I wanted to play a 15 year old game or shoot birds accross a screen at some blocks Ill get a tablet. If I want to sit in front my 42inch TV and play increasingly (albeit slowly) epic games I'll get a console or PC.
