1UP: E3 2010 to unveil next gen Xbox console titled Paradigm

With the anticipation building towards this year's E3, it looks like Natal, Move, and 3DS won't be the only new pieces of hardware to be showcased at the biggest electronics show of the year. An early news leak reports that Microsoft is prepared to give us all a first look at the successor to the Xbox 360.

5 years after it's launch, 360 will be making way for, what early information reveals to be named Xbox Paradigm. Although this new system will mark the beginning of the next generation, Aaron Greenberg wanted to assuage any concerns about 360's future, assuring that it will "receive continued support for the next 2-3 years".

Its expected Natal will be included with all Xbox Paradigm systems, as well as its already scheduled separate launch as an add-on for the existing 360. While there was no demo product to be shown, the logo has been leaked for this next-gen Xbox, coinciding with its new name reveal.

Questions naturally remain about the systems technical specifications; from CPU to GPU performance, system memory, media types, and hard drive sizes, among other factors. Questions, which Greenberg promises will be answered during the official unveiling (when we also get a first look at the system itself) at E3 later in the year, giving us all even more to reason for excitement for this year's show.

Sweet diddly! They have finally dropped the bomb on Nintendo and Sony :o

Paradigm huh? Someones been playing too much FF13

Heh. Logo design by Enterprise Rent-a-Car, apparently.

I personally would have avoided using any names with a silent 'g' in them. It's a dead giveaway that marketing people didn't come up with it.

Nice April fools joke

I could believe it I know it is April Fool's day but Microsoft said they want to release a new Console every four years and it's been this year will be five years since Microsoft released the Xbox 360.

Can you show me a link where they said they operated on a 4 year timetable? The reason for what happened to the Xbox1, wasn't to do with a pre-planned 4 year schedule, but with market conditions at the time. Xbox1 was a money sink for them, and the terms of their deal with the GPU provider was costing them too much.

A clean slate was their only way to turn things around, and it worked. They have overtaken their primary competitor, Sony. Their 3rd party support is stronger than ever, which boasts a far more diverse library than the last gen, and just all around have a much healthier market share than its predecessor.

Now with 360 making money and continued 3rd party support, as well as people still buying games for the system, they don't have the reason to cut the lifespan short on this one, and certainly not by some alleged "4 year strategy".

I see WiiHD being the next console and I see this as MS's embark into handhelds because in 2009 they stated they wanted to do it

I know that's the popular theory about the name of the next Nintendo console. And I'm just as sure it will be an HD system, but I had this idea that they'll come up with a more streamlined name, that still plays on their spelling twist.

So instead of WiiHD, I'm calling it here, Nintendo HDii :)
