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

Interesting enough, he also stated on an IGN podcast that he thought the PS4 seems to be more so the console for gamers after the XBone reveal. At least based on what we know so far. He was still positive on Microsoft though, thinking they will likely succeed in becoming known for their media box, while PS4 will be the games box.

Nowadays I'm an independent designer and I just want the next Xbox to be a great gaming machine."

You are out, don't come back with your Fable stuff

I already had a Xbox one I got it in 2001 I'm honestly about as excited for buying this one as I would be to just buy that one again.

He speaks words of truth, but to be fair, nothing about this upcoming generation has been nearly as exciting as the last. Wii U, PS4, Xbox One... *snore*

The tablet issue is always an interesting one, the hardware does move fairly quickly. Maybe we will have tablets on the market before the end of the cycle that will actually be more powerful than the Xbox ONE and PS4, for the same or lower prices.

Yup. Kinect is really the only competitive advantage. Live! could be running on any platform that plugs into a tv. It was cool 8 years ago ... it's pretty mediocre now.

MS and Sony both need to get focused on the games. I don't really need their boxes for cable or entertainment that I can use on other devices. It's a nice addition, but if that's the selling point, the next generation is off to a very poor start.

Well, its not bad for people who like asking their game console to watch tv.

Fable 3, not nearly as exciting as Fable 2.

i dont care what Molyneux's says hes always full of shit

I think they are going to make the next X-box more 'limited' because losers developers like Molyneux can stop over promising and actually tell gamers and the media the truth in what they actually going to put in their video games and not what to think what they should put in their console. Molyneux thinks he can do better with a statement like that considering that he's got this rep of over promising that annoys most (if not all) gamers.

For once, Molyneux's right.

I think he's right. I really haven't felt that much excitement.

Steam Box? LOL!! You mean the game console from Valve that will cost over $1000? What has Peter been smoking?

Hopefully everything will be more exciting than fable 2

Uh Google, Apple, and Samsung are absolutely not Microsoft competitors in this market. Tablet/mobile gaming will literally never be a thing outside of Nintendo and Sony handhelds, that anyone actually cares about. They are MS competition in mobile markets, yea, and not a concern.

Ah, Molyneux, maybe one day a game you make will have even half the features you claim it will have. Ever since Black & White he has consistently made claims about his games that just turned out to be untrue, I know things get dropped in development but he never mentions what ideas have been dropped. I genuinely loved the first Fable but even that did not reflect the game described by Molyneux in nearly any of the announcements.

Apple, Google and Samsung.....odd, I don't own any games by them.

who cares what he says, the last good game he made was around 20 years ago

So the new Kinect-Box gets revealed tonight. How wonderful for the media industry, and Molyneux is about as excited as a new case of users with the RROD .

Molyneux should put his money/talent where his mouth is and dedicate the next few years to developing games for the Wii-U if he is not every excited for the next Xbox. I'm not very excited either, but, it's here (and we will get to see one shortly), and, like it or not, excited or not, it will be a major player in the console universe.

"Molyneux says Microsoft won the last console generation". Pfffft okay, I'll just type that in my invisible typewriter.

Peter, we just want great games to play on a gaming system, not the crap you produce.

Peter, no one cares what you think.

the industry moves itself forward by talking trash, this side talks trash, that side talks trash, whatever. it's interesting how user comments defend or condemn peter's epiphany dividing themselves between haters and fanbois.

Does Peter realize that his last few games haven't been nearly as good as his first few? Pot meet kettle.

And he's going to say that in the reveal event today on M$'s stage?

I am supposed to trust the word of Peter Molyneux now, the Uwe Boll of video games?

Weren't you just SINGING THE PRAISE of the NEXTBOX like a week ago?!

This guy really wants attention...

Also, games haven't been exciting in like several years :p

"Thereby hangs the problem for Microsoft: how to justify its new console, how to get us all excited."

what happens to the time when people where simple and didn't bitch and nag about anything???

Dear Mr. Molynix, its a fucking dedicated gaming machine, stop being so fucking sophisticated.

The Xbox brand is supreme in the U.S.A but not anywhere else. In a way Peter Molyneux is right the Xbox 720/Xbox Infinity/Xbox Durango/ or Whatever the third installment of Xbox is called. This time it is not as exciting a Xbox 360. For the simple reason manatory Kinect V2. I not feeling the magic anymore. This is not a launch day purchase for me. But today is MS's big reveal so maybe there is still hope for Xbox 720?

I'm tired of people saying the tablet and smartphone market is the future. In my opinion it's just trimming the fat of the actual console/pc gaming market, any real gamer is never going to move to those until the games are actually BETTER than on consoles

I think the Wii won. My grandma even bought one. And it seems the PS3 is the one that will end on a strong note.

In the USA yes but not worldwide. Sony is leading in markets as Japan, UK and Australia .

22 Cans? What kind of studio name is that?

While Molyneux says Microsoft "won the last console generation" < WiiU

someone inform me of the rock's name he's been living under...

Know what's exciting? Chipping away at a giant cube. Right Peter?

#shutupMolyneux

Molyneux is always sticking his nose into things. He's probably the most opinionated person in gaming.

Microsoft won the last generation? Is he on crack? Since January 2013 the PS3 surpassed the xbox on worldwide sales. Unless he believes somehow that the USA is the only place in the world because really, the states is the only place where the xbox have good momentum.

he cant speak for everyone....and im no molynuex fan....but for me....ill give it up hes damn right......that last qoute.....so friggen right smh.
