Next Xbox 360 in 2013

Not long then!

Holiday 2013? That seems a little far for me ... I've been using my Xbox 360 for years and getting a little tired of it.

Was hoping for Holiday 2012. :(

What I'm hoping is they release Halo 4 along with the new gen Xbox console, everything would just be so much better that way, but if they did decide on this then we'd have to wait one more year for halo, A shame, but I think would be worth itxxKai

I can't wait.

I just imagine the GRAPHICS!!!

anyone can guesse this. factors

1: nintendo is releaseing theres next year microsoft must follow or be left in sales. Sony feels the same. Sony came out said they don't need release a new console but must follow the market or they be left out to.

2: 360 is getting old

3: 360 is holding devs back in some areas.

4: consoles are dipping but still up there.

5 heavy romurs been a 2012/2013 E3 annountment for a 2013 release

Kind of sucks just bought a 360 but maybe I'll be ready for a new one by then

Terrible speculation.

MS themselves said it would be after 2013. Probably 2014-2015

And I really don't care when the new one is released as long as they allow me to keep uploading game to Xboxlig.

honestly what will be so good about the new one

If it's going to be more powerful than the 360, than I see the new console going the 599$ retail route, much like the PS3.

If we're hoping for incredible specs, those specs come at an incredible price. In which case, I will pass.

How are they going to make profits off of games and accessories if noone is going to buy an overpriced console?

All I have to point to is the PS3 launch. Of course that thing turned out great, but the 599$ price tag didn't exactly spark a stampede of people to the store to buy it.

I'm not disagreeing with you about the games etc. profit making. I'm just worried about the initial price tag on the console. PS3 came out with the Blu-Ray and all that jazz and they had to make up for it with the hefty price tag. If the NextBox is coming out with even more impressive hardware get your wallet ready.

I have to disagree on number 1. The system that Nintendo is going to release is marginally if any better than the current 360 or Playstation 3. I doubt M$ has anything to fear from this release.ChristopherRage

Wrong, M$ has to worry about Nintendo stealing their fans. It's been a while since M$ released a console, and there are plenty ofpeople waiting for something new. Theoretically someone who owns an Xbox 360 might buy the Wii U and love it, then they might think they don't need the next Xbox when it comes out. Microsoft and Sony are worried that their fans might not have the patience to wait for the next consoles, so in that regard, yes they are worried. However we all know that the real next gen consoles will blow the Wii U out of the water. Regardless, if someone buys the Wii U in this economy they might not have money for another console.

Why would you say the "real" next gen consoles would destroy the Wii U? I think Nintendo could possibly do just as fantastic as they did this gen with the Wii U.

Elaborate a little more please? I'm intrigued.

Its already been said. The Wii U is basically what the Wii should have been; a console with HD graphics third party support and good options for online play (friend lists, chat, better connection, etc). The issue is that nobody is going to buy a Nintendo product for third party games, I already have an established group of friends on my Xbox if I want to play CoD and whatnot. People who own an xbox or playstation will buy the respective next gen console because they have a friends list and gamerscore/trophies. I will probably get a Wii U for the exclusives, but Nintendo is essentially trying to cater to both groups now. They've gotta a family oriented fan base, and now they are added feature that the hardcore gamers want. I think its too little too late. I don't want a goofy controller, I just want to play games.

Besides I don't think that Nintendo is going to produce a bunch of family friendly shovelware with this console. Also its been said that the Wii U will only support one touch screen, how is that family friendly? Nintendo could lose buyers just over that. Not to mention that after the 3DS many will wait for a quick price drop before purchasing a console from them. All speculation of course.

I am doubtful it will be a big leap from what you see on your screens now, unfortunately have to wait til 2013 (?) to hook it up and find out.

I don't even like my box of X anymore, wonder if I'll like the one in 2013 or whenever.

The leap from 360 to 720 should be just as big as previous generations as far as graphics go, as long as developers put the time, effort, and money into exploiting the hardware. (Spoiler: this is where the consumer gets raped with micro transactions like never before.)

But as for actual gameplay, it probably won't be much more advanced. If you're familiar with PCs and CPUs in particular you already know that due to thermal limits the 720 just can't be faster than 4GHz (for reference the 360 is 3.2GHz and the Xbox was 0.7GHz). What they'll probably do is just increase the core count from the 360's 3 to maybe 6 or 8. It's still something, but exploting all that power will be very tricky.

I wouldn't say that too quick, about another huge leap of gaming goodness. I see the next gen console being where mid-level PC is @ that date.

so maybe like 2013 mirange PC = next gen (fancy name) console.

I never owned the original xbox. Wasn't that possible with the 360?

That makes sense actually. There have been some fantastic games that are utilizing the hardware to the fullest potential lately. They will wait until all of that juice is squeezed out and exploited before they fast forward to the next console.
