Microsoft Will Announce The Xbox 720 Soon, Here’s A Theory About When

GamerFitNation's Gregory Laporte writes about the next Xbox console. "Recent rumors have come to light that Microsoft is set to announce their press event for their future console sometime in April. While this is mostly rumor, there is some evidence to support the claim; however there is nothing concrete. I believe the reveal will be a little bit sooner than that. Read my theory below and see whether or not you agree with my assertion."

AngelicIceDiamond4078d ago

noone cares about the new Xbox?

Your a selfish person.

BadboyCivic4078d ago

Then why comment if you don't care?
Competition is good.

xxLuckyStrike4078d ago

First off He's a Troll(MissesMagoo123)who scans for any M$ news patrolling submissions and leave ignorant off topic garble. It's Butt Shafts like him that ruin this site. Bubble Down

wastedcells4077d ago

Maybe they will wait for E3

@luckystrike

lmao go ahead and find me in one other MS or xbox only news thread I can bet you you wont find me in any and yet i "scan for any MS news" I will just put your comment down to deprivation of air when you where being born, I thought since all we have been getting on this site lately are xbox fantards trolling and negative news because of the strange fear xbox fans have of sony (which is understandable because the new xbox will not be even close to the ps4) I would come in here and do the same eye for an eye so to speak.

Take that as childish or what ever but i dont see you complaining about the xbox retards. And i call them retards because thats what a fan of xbox is.

@Scott182

I cant say competition is good because ever since MS hit the gaming scene we have had nothing but retard console wars and fantards fighting. If MS wasnt around i can bet you this would not of happened because this ego thing about consoles was made in America before a console was made there no one cared whos console was best they just played games.

If that was true, Sony would only have 4GB of GDDR5 RAM in the PS4. Competition is good, and apparently Sony cares about the next Xbox. Everyone should.

scott1824078d ago

Good point, without knowing the competition would have more ram sony may never have upped theirs. Competition is good.

UnholyLight4078d ago

You sir, just hit the nail on the head.

7SBuzzLightyear7S4078d ago

Well this is awkward. Why does N4G have a channel for the 'Xbox 720'?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it, but I won't hold my breath. The Xbox 360 announcement launch was big for me and I made the transition from Sony and the PS2 over to Microsoft and the Xbox 360. Everything about it was almost perfect at the time (I wasn't familiar with hardware failure rate as I wasn't into gaming news and forums back then, but had I known I would of ditched them a long time ago).

After 2009 and the NXE dashboard, it has become adamant that paying a premium for an online service does not save you from seeing advertisements on your dashboard. While this can be argued and I welcome it, it doesn't make sense when you pay a premium on many websites and you avoid advertising.

They pushed Kinect. They pushed it a LOT!!! They have forgotten about the core gamer and what made the Xbox 360 what it is today and they decided to turn their attention to the casual market, which isn't a bad thing, but when you see casual games overtake core games, you start to wonder where things are going.

If they can start the 'Xbox 720' like they did the Xbox 360 (minus hardware failure) then it is going to reclaim some of those who made the switch to Sony. If they don't, well they are only going to annoy more gamers and lose more fans.

At this very moment, I am leaning more towards the PS4. My PSN Plus subscription just ran out and I am considering renewing that and not my Xbox LIVE subscription.

BigStef714078d ago

Same for me too man. After the exclusives stopped I switched to ps3 for good which I'm glad I did. For next gen I'm definitely getting a ps4 but if Microsoft gets its act together and actually provide new IP exclusives then I will greatly consider getting getting the next Xbox. Pus they need to let RARE make some new installments in their classic franchises'

user39158004078d ago (Edited 4078d ago )

First on line a sony troll lol...

I really dont care who wins what. What I want its innovation and power is a constant variable. I want fun plenty of fun and I think illumiroom, virtual glasses and 3d will do it for me, now mx show us what you got. Its obvious sony dont have a console just numbers lol...

saint_seya4078d ago

another troll, though only mago, but u have to show up :c

3-4-54078d ago

Well c'mon now, I can tell your not fan but you don't have to be so foolish with your comments.

Your opinion now = everyone's ?

How do you even comprehend words ?

MasterCornholio4078d ago

Plenty of people care about the next XBOX more than the Wii U. But what many people dont have is high hopes that Microsoft will focus on the core.

Maybe Microsoft will surprise them?

cleverusername4078d ago

Apart from Xbox owners and non fanboys!

saint_seya4078d ago

@MRMagoo123:
I dont care for new xbox, lots of players do #fixed for u

I think they have to so they can switch momentum to them. I think both will be amazing machines, I know my buddy will get the 720 and i'll get the PS4. Best of both worlds.

lovegames7184078d ago

Bring it. The more options the bettet.

fredolopez4078d ago

i think they will unveil the xbox 720 and live-stream it on xbl during E3. regardless of when they choose to so, i can't wait!

clintagious6504078d ago

I think everyone who knows me knows i prefer my ps3 over my 360 but im definitely anxious to see what ms has in store for their nextbox. I hope they can show more core games because im just not interested in kinect so sorry if im not a kinect fan but im just being honest wit yall. Hopefully ms can change my mind by showing off some new ip's in the making for the nextbox & not be just kinect 2.0 launch titles or i will be disappointed.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing6952m ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker39m ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo29m ago(Edited 28m ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6919m ago(Edited 19m ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos6h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto5h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger885h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
