New Xbox to be announced within weeks

The new Xbox is to be announced within weeks. It maybe announced earlier than the first thought.

[badkolo]

and what happens if your proven wrong. will you come back and change your tune, not that i dont expect kinect stuff as well but jumping the gun when you truly have no clue..... not smart

[Winter47th]

I can already see it, they'll be focusing on everything except games. If they do happen to show games, they'll be fake as all the early Kinect disasters.

[urwifeminder]

Sweet thats the console for me cant wait to fire it up day one anything but sony really.

[nukeitall]

I don't do much Sony myself, but do own a PS3. I owned a PS1 and PS2 as well. I own a Sony TV, but lately swapped it out for a Samsung.

PS4 is interesting, but I want to wait and see what MS brings to the table before deciding.

I barely have time to use one, otherwise, I would likely get all three.

[ghaleon1980]

@nukeitall

I agree man, I'm in the same situation. I like all three current gen systems, have all 3 current gen systems, but don't really have all that much time to play games. I enjoy them when I can.

I'd have to say the 360 was my fav this past gen, mainly cause of halo...but I'll probably end up getting all 3 again this gen too because I am into Sony as well...just not as much.

[stage88]

Ah, you must be a casual gamer.

[urwifeminder]

Since when do i have to wear suit to play games casual dress sense keeps me comfy.

[hennessey86]

To seeing what Microsoft is bringing to the table.

[dcbronco]

Six people are in your head and believe you have no clue what you think.

[UnholyLight]

The people that downvote this are dumb.

[Npugz7]

Kinect and more kinect!

[badkolo]

since kinect will be integrated like the ps3's version they might pull something we wouldnt expect. Discuss it and show some stuff but since its built in then it doesnt need to be highlighted since they will have the casuals regardless.

Ill be the first one to jump ship if they go all casual and focus on entertainment and dont focus on games but I think the core will be greeted with surprises as they already have done the casual thing. I truly doubt they will focus on casuals for the new system when they have that already in the 360

[Monstar]

Sony fanbays...lol, the kinect BS is wearing thin...MS know what they have to do and the PS3 being announced the way that it has been will only give MS the advantage. Hell if it wasn't for MS, Sony wouldn't have turned into such a power house spec-wise...not to mention an online community of the same fashion.

[Clarence]

Sony has always been a powerhouse, with or without M$. If it wasn't for Sony the Xbox wouldn't be trying to become an entertainment hub. You really think Sony showed all their cards?

M$ does not have a lick on talent on how to innovate. They simply buy what they want. Kinect $h!t us wearing thin with you because it's true. Bunch of kinect crap games, Halo then Gears, Forza, then Fabel. Every year the same thing nothing new. This year will be the same.

[Knight_Crawler]

Sony has always been a power house but at what price...I know for a fact that if MS was not around Sony's PS3 would still cost like 400 bones.

Same for Nintendo if Sony was not around the DS would cost a sh!t lot.

Edit: Funny how people are saying that MS will show off something Kinect related but jump for joy when Sony showed some Move demo with dancing puppets which took up a chunk of the show.

Sony has a motion camera that looks like Kinect...jump for joy Sony is awesome!

[Dragos75]

"Sony has always been a powerhouse"

Not anymore. Those days are long gone. They got beat by Apple in portable music, Samsungs TVs are outselling theirs, Their movie studios aren't no.1 anymore, they had to drop and sell off the cell, and their cameras aren't doing well. They have been losing money overall for the past 5 years. That isn't a powerhouse. Can they get back to where they were? Maybe, but it won't be easy with MS, Samsung, and Apple still out there. The ps4 is actually do or die for them and that's the truth.

[DigitalSmoke]

Wrong, Sony has always been cutting edge.
Even when Microsoft was making windows windows 98 and had no clue about consoles.

Microsoft "can't copy" the 8GDDR and release this holiday.
Just like they can't copy the way the PS4 looks.

Watch..

[JeffGUNZ]

But Sony can copy achievements and features LIVE brought to the table. Let's call them trophies, yeah, that's innovation.

Give me a break. This PS4 reveal was a huge let down and a smoke screen. They never showed console, they didn't give a price point, and they didn't have an official release date. Premature reveal with underwhelming results. How do you reveal a next gen console and not even show the damn thing? If Microsoft did this, this entire site would be ripping them apart. Yet, Sony can do no wrong.

[ALLWRONG]

PSN is more or less just a copy of Live

[spoonard]

I am eager to see what MS brings, but I think Sony set the bar pretty high!

[wagnus]

Good stance. As gamers, we only gain with the competition of Sony and MS. If one were gone, the other would be milking us dry (even more so than some think.)

[Prodigy-X]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheKayle]

as always sony scared cheerleaders r the first to post on ms news.......this is just sad.....and really mean that some ppl r not gamers...but just trolls

@rl_pearson

so for sony.....
Square enix ...gone multiplat
Kojima ...going multiplat showing for the first time his engine demo on xbox
all Rockstar (gone multiplat) games run better on xbox see rdr,gta
Imsoniac and fuse will go multiplat
all great third party prefeer MS on Sony
Vita is a big fail
Pseye is a BIG FAIL
ps MOVE is A B I G F A I L
sony lose to much money on that pr taling bullshit 2 teraflop CELL

http://i994.photobucket.com...

while the ps4 PEAK (that with an off-the shelf architecture we already know is IMPOSSIBLE to reach) seem to do just "1.8" teraflops haahah

putting out a ps4 without r&d that is a off the shelf mid lvl pc without any custom hardware alla ps3 or x360 or x720 that the only advandage that u can hope it will have is the gdrr5

so all the games that made that brand famous gone multiplat most of the devices didnt get money or dont sell enough..this should mean that they r failing right? pls grow up and i mean GROW UP

----------------
@alousow

yeah maybe theyll announce kinect2 (its clear) but let me tell u this...putting an hand on ur shoulder *pat pat*.....is always better than 20 mins....of a freaking "great" share button.....and a image on the big screen of a kinect low specs-copy branded sony...that seem wanna scream "why we didint have a freakin sony kinect already?!?!?!?!" or of a superduper mega gimmick scupting...."GAME" from mediamolecule....that is worst than kinectimals...(FROM ONE OF THR BIGGEST SONY FIRST PARTY)

u have to pray...and i mean pray seeing how u look at sony as a psudo god......that ms dont have a more powerful console ...coz if that is the case.....i think ur will crash ur emotions so bad....and ur future would be very sad

and u know what? u deserve it :)

i hate to give answers like this...really i dont like it...but some ppl...need just this here on n4g

[saint_seya]

I just can say lol to that comment.. i mean i found trolls that actually have good points, are funny, or at least make u feel irritated... but u.. u are such a lame troll.. At least learn to troll better, maybe next time :)

[bobtheimpaler]

Butt hurt much? You can do with some growing up yourself.

720 specs are unlikely to change. Kinect and other gimmicks seem to be where MS hope to garner attention from the mainstream. I hope I'm wrong, but that seems to be the direction they're going.

Changing RAM will likeley mean changing the motherboard and the APU due to the memory controller. Like the PS4 APU and GPU, the 720 is using custom chips. With contracts likely sealed with suppliers I doubt MS would want to delay things if only for budgetary reasons. A bump in hardware would be unrealistic unless they are willing to delay.

What Sony have with Move and their camera, they can do what kinect does with better speed and precision. Kinect may have fooled people into buying it, but the software has left a sour taste in their mouths. I'll admit Sony could have done more to support move, but honestly, it does more than work for core games. I'd rather something that works than an unresponsive gimmick aimed at the clueless masses.

LOL. If you don't see how Media Molecule's sculpting demo can allow for greater creativity in a game like little big planet where people can make their own games in LBP then you're just a fool...or a butthurt fanboy.

For the more rational core gamers out there looking forward to NextBox. I hope MS doesn't do you dirt.

[TheKayle]

what should hurt sorry?
1) i had ps - ps2...then xbox ...xbox360 and ps3 (with pseye,psmove and nav controller)
2) that sony failed hard with move (that i bought and used JUST and ONLY with sport champions and yea was cool to play bocce balls with friends being drunk) isnt something new..the only game we all was hoping for was Sorcery and we all know how it end to be
3) pseye isnt nothing technical advanced is just a normal cam (all is done by software no hw sensors if not just the cam) that capture a 640*480@60hz with a low spec microphone built-in

4) All the big third party next gen games that we know r in production will be on x720 too ..and one of the biggest is a timed exclusive (Bungie Destiny)....so watch dog,star war 1313 ecc ecc ecc.
5) All the big games MS games will surely go out for x720 (alan wake 2,gears,halo,fable,forza5,forz a horizon etc etc)
6) we know already that rare is working on a new hardcore ip (rumors they playing a lots with fluids simulation) we know pgr will be a new game...we know blacktusk have a new game..
7) crytek saying the Ryse for kinect is there and still in development
8) Vita sales r a big fail.is under the eyes of everyone..or u saying that is selling like crazy?...and IHMO ps4 will not save that handsheld if they dont cut the price to half (no one would buy 150 euro controller + a ps4 just for a inventory or map touchscreen)
9)What Sony have with Move and their "CAMERA" is just a camera that via software follow a light....and this have nothing to do with 3d tracking ala kinect....u r comparing apple to orange...ps Move and eyetoy CANT do what kinect can while can be done easly the opposite..via software on kinect also the audio chips and the mic array is on another lvl......im not a big fan of move controller ...but for the interface is something great and if this tiem as rumor saying they recude the lag to 33ms it will be perfect to control the interface with voice and hands (is waht i want at the end) while would be embarassing control the interface of the ps4 with a bulb in your hand istead to use a normal controller lol.....
U could answer yeah also the pseye could to traking ....and i answer yes it can..but just via software not in 3d not with depth and not with infrared (this mean is better they dont try..to do it ..as they did)...in fact they putting out a low spec kinect copy (the two camera can only mean 3d traking if u know something about hw)

i dont know what r the x720 specs and im really not sure that they r what sites r showing but theres a reason for sony pushing 2 times up the ram of the ps4 (at start it was 2gb gddr5 than in summer 4 now..8) while this gddr5 will cost a LOTS of money for Sony and will not help the bom price ...going out in loss at start and for 1 year at least u dont spend all this money on ram and change specs last moemnt before the show if u know that the war is already won before start against a system with only 1,2tf and 8gb ddr3
But i remember u that the x360 change the gpu last few months..and that u as I dont know the real specs of the console

No sorry i dont see anything special in Mediamolecule sculpting gimmicks and for sure is nothing with who i would play ..and im sure that old gamers like me take as gimmick the share button (that is just stupid if not for competitive games like League of legends and it mean JUST TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY) as much is gimmick for u dance central

now id end my bubble coz of this system....

[PFFT]

@bobtheimpaler

See but the 720 specs can change!
How do you know Ms didnt future proof the mobo??
Made it so that if they wanted to add GDDR 5 ram they can or if they wanted to add a better CPU or GPU they could. How do you know they didnt take this approach??? For all you know they did. I gotta agree with some of these posters when they say that the sony fanboys are scared. You guys do sound a bit skittish to me.

[clintagious650]

TheKayle

U do know that sony knows more about hardware then ms right? Take a chill pill & wait until ms shows the nextbox then we can really have a debate.

Other then that, im eager to see what games ms has to offer more then just the system specs because the difference between the ps4 & nextbox wont be as that huge of a gap. I believe it will be similar like ps3 vs 360 & the more talented devs will showcase the console true potential.

[DigitalSmoke]

Look at all the hatefull negative energy you used on damage control.
You come off as a jealouse school girl who's girlfriend scored a Justin Bieber lookalike.

This has to be the worst part i have read in a long time, so much butthurt, such obvious envy and poison, and so little intelligence in the way it is expressed.

Hide the knives crazy chick...

[bobtheimpaler]

You'll still get similar interactivity with Move and their new camera. It's just a different implementation. Kinect 2 will likely be more responsive than the first kinect, but I doubt it will compare to speed and precision of move. It's still overall a more practical solution THAT WORKS and is better for core games. But we'll see. I understand the pros and cons of each.

The rest of your comment is really just your own personal preference/ fanboyism. I didn't mention anything about VITA. I know it's struggling and could use more consistant releases, but that doesn't make the hardware any less compelling. It's still early days, and Sony have a number of titles in pipeline for it.

What media molecule have is ground breaking and far from a gimmick. LBP3 is going to be awesome. As for PS4's social capabilities...now you're just yapping on about holes where there aren't any. The sign of a true blind fanboy.

I won't really use social features as I'm not into social networking myself, but from what we've seen. Sony has shown they get what their core gamers wanted with the PS3 and have taken things further.

RARE? Pfft. All the talented people left them a long time ago...just wait and see.

Doubt specs for 720 will change. You are talking about different type of ram not just more of what they have. Given that there are rumours from reliable sources that kinect will be included with every xbox. Doubt they'll want to push the price higher. Memory controller is already in custom built APU chip. What happens to lower speed ESRAM if they get GDDR5? It becomes moot. The goal is to create a efficient system, so it won't get changed unless they're willing to delay hardware and maybe software development.

As for 720 first party software. Good for gamers. Let's hope they're willing to take risks and make something compelling. Industry could use more games that break the mould.

The ram for PS4 won't be very expensive, they are buying these direct from manufacturers and in bulk.

It's not like kinect was a resounding success either. The core don't care about it. I guess when the xbox meeting starts they'll have more celebrities and cirque du soleil. Too bad you can't take that home with you.

EDIT: I just re-read your first post as well and you're still stuck in 2005/2006 lol. There's nothing rational and unbiased about your post anyway. Your just looking to complain about anything.

[CustardTrout]

I was honestly expecting the article to say "I think it will be sooner because they are PS4 is announcedz." Or something, but fair play to you, you've got me thinking a little.

[badkolo]

not that i care but if ms announces a more powerful system, this place will crash and burn quickly

[pompombrum]

A more powerful system focused on kinect shovelware and entertainment apps.. yeah the place will crash on the floor from laughter. I hope it isn't so but these days I really don't have much faith in M$.

[PFFT]

lol

[vega275]

Hell if MS matches the ps4 specs and does full B/C and show new ips. This place will crash amd burn.

edit: i love how everyone thinks MS will annouce nothing but kinect games. if that was the case why open new studios just to make all kinect games. i can't wait to hear the excuses people come up with when MS shows what their system can do.

[Dms2012]

Yeah, I am mostly excited to see what Black Tusk was working on! Its been rumored that it is to rival Halo, doesn't sound like Kinect shovelware to me.

[saint_seya]

I do think ms will announce a good console with decent games, not only kinetic crap. If will be better than ps3 specs wise, idk. Games will be better, maybe, maybe not, ill get ps4 cuz i love the games that ps4 has, and ik people will get xbox cuz they love xbox games. Those who talk crap os ms without even knowing anything about the new xbox are just blind fanboys, and those who said ps4 is just only promisses, or had not a good presentation, are just fanboys. Thats my point of view.

[Cocozero]

PS4 will be forgotten faster than first thought

[saint_seya]

your comment will be forgoten faster than u took to write.

[DJDeez]

what comment?

[jaklink]

I love it how if one does not say something that construes their opinion towards Sony, they're down voted. To blindly loyal to any company is ridiculous.

[2v1]

i know lot are not fanboys of kinect and pay to play online

[Sarobi]

I hope so, I'm eager for both PS4 and the neXtbox.

[TheOneEyedHound]

To me I don't see anything without a controller working.
I would like M$ to show nothing but new Ips.

[jay2]

Come on guys. Ps4. Xbox 720. Wii u this gen. Xbox kinect always om 2 no thanks we'll see it at GDC

[talisker]

I'm all against Microsoft after what they did this gen and definitely disappointed with two X360s I had but I wouldn't bet on just Kinect and casual games. It makes a lot of sense that they have to appeal to the core crowd at the beginning of the gen because early adopters are people who really love gaming and will pay any price for a console. I think history will repeat and they will try to lure core gamers now, then of course abandon them mid-gen for the sake of casual stuff (glasses, gimmicks, media).

I think Black Tusk will show a new IP, maybe more. I think some big company like Acti or EA will have an exclusive deal for an IP or at least exclusive content/timeframe for a really big game like COD or GTA. Anyway, those deals will cease and all those games will come later to PS4 or at least PC, like it was with Alan Wake and many XBL titles.

[coolasj]

I know it's just a rumor. But, how do you spin blocking used games into a good thing?

"We're are proud to announce, that as of the Next-Box, used games will no longer work on the system. We believe this will start a new era of interactivity."

Or some mumbo jumbo.

[360ICE]

Microsoft. I need for you to surprise me.
I love Kinect as much a the next guy, but it's a gimmick, not a console (you heard me, Wii U/Wii). Get back to the days of hardcore gaming excellence, please.

[deanobi]

Xbox will be the console to revolutionise gaming this generation

[g-nome]

Look , we also have 8 gigs of ram .. and Halo.

[Karpetburnz]

EDGE was pretty spot on with the PS4 rumours and they said that the Next Xbox will always require an internet connection to function, They said they were "very confident in their source"

[abzdine]

MS fanboys are ready to buy a console without video out.. when they like to buy a console a buy to have the right to play online and pay the live to pay netflix after :D
many will disagree but it's the way it is.

[JeffGUNZ]

What the f*ck was that jumble of words? Proof read, I have no idea what the hell you're trying to say.

[Count]

I highly doubt this. It seems counterintuitive.

[Karpetburnz]

Its hard to tell, Microsoft probably wont do this but I can see why they would considder it.

They would make a heap of cash from advertisements, The more people there are online, the more advertisements there are for people to see which means more money for Microsoft.

But it could be a mistake for many reasons, If youre playing a single player game and your internet cuts out, then you would lose progress in your game. or If you live in an area where you cant get broadband then you cant even play it at all.

IMO it would be a mistake if Microsoft goes through with it.

[susanto1228]

Sony is setting themselves up and pretty much was rattling a dogs cage with a stick and now that dogs about to come lose. I'm not a 100% MSoft supporter I own both systems and play both but Msoft has the upperhand here and I wouldn't doubt them releasing their new console very early to get the upperhand

[Max-Zorin]

Smh at the trolling on this article. Stay classy N4G.

[iNathan]

Sony Virgin Fanboys everywhere.

[Karpetburnz]

You butthurt?

http://bit.ly/XvWAEC

[esemce]

I really hoping all the studios that Microsoft has is not just for Kinect 2.0 trash. If the NextBox has an online multiplayer fee, Gears ,Halo, Fable, Forza timed exclusive BS DLC like with COD and nothing else but casual Kinect shovelware then they really can GTFO! And MS wont get a penny from me.

[abzdine]

they have time to prepare their tech demos.

[JamieL]

Sure do now that Sony's shown there's.

[Ticklez]

If there is still a lot to know about the ps4, Sony would be smart to just show wht the console looks like at GDC. Since people want to see wht it looks like so bad, the room would go nuts..

[etownone]

Ps4 specs and controller really impressed me.
It's a beast in terms of raw power that will be much easier to develop for.
It can do WiiU connectivity ala PSVITA
It can do Kinect with new PS eye
It can do next gen demo and game streaming

If Xbox wants to compete and come out strong ....
It better not block used games,
It better not have to be always Internet connected.
Comes close or on par to ps4 specs
Hopefully doesn't need Kinect connected to every console cause I buy multiple consoles and only need Kinect for my living room.

Here's hoping the controller does have revolutionary rumble on trigger and analogs.
The controller does have the rumored screen
New IP's

And if PSN remains free..... And I'm using it for my Psvita.... Then here's wishful thinking that Ms goes the free route too..... Although I'm sure it will be Sony that charges for online play with ps4 like MS does.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Nope.

In fact the longer MS waits the stronger and more confident it makes them look.

In before a ton of disagree votes.

[csreynolds]

How exactly?

[Count]

I don't judge based on how long someone takes to release something. It's something I learned this gen.

[csreynolds]

I'm wondering if Sony's PS4 reveal has given Microsoft something to think about.

Not trolling, just saying.

[Count]

I'm sure it's always interesting to see what your competitor brings to the table.

[GodGinrai]

I would hope so.

I own both X360 and PS3 so I would like to think I have a pretty neutral way of looking at things.

one thing I would say based on the last few years is, that MS REALLY need to invest in their offerings to the core gamer. Less kinect, more games. Less uselsess apps, morefresh IP. If the spec that is rumoured is true they will be in trouble.If they focus too much on kinect again they WILL be in trouble. They need balance and they need focus. I mean, what does the XBOX brand mean to them now?

I (and im sure all of you) just want MS to just focus on the games and deliver an amazingly powerful console. Why is this so hard for them, to understand, these days?

Sony made some royal fuck ups with the PS3, but seeing how they have reacted to situations over the last few years have really shown mme a different side of them, A side that is more passionate about games than MS. Shoot, they kind of remind me of a late 90s Sega in terms of their attitude. I like it.

When I saw the PS4 announcement, It was enough to convince me that sony are on to a good thing. They announced the specs on day one, they showed games, and an improved PSN. It was honest and it was quality. I dont care what the console actually looks like..im already sold.

To be honest thats all MS has to do, to secure a day one purchase from me...yet I feel like they wont. It almost seems like too much to ask because they have gone the other way completely.Im sure some of you guys feel that way too...yet it seem like too much to ask for new IPs?

[JeffGUNZ]

I doubt it, it's not like Microsoft didn't know Sony was developing a next gen. console. I honestly feel this sony reveal was rushed and premature. No price point, no solid release date, and no ACTUAL console. How do you have a next gen console reveal and not shoe the console? I saw a controller with a screen on it. Great. How about you actually show the CONSOLE running the games.

[csreynolds]

I wasn't inferring that Sony's announcement prompted Microsoft to do anything other than to (possibly) reveal the next Xbox sooner than we anticipated.

As for Sony's announcement being premature, yes, it might have been. They might not even have a console built yet. They might've run the gameplay footage they showcased from a PC built to match the PS4's specifications. We don't know. What we do know though is that the ball's in Microsoft's court now, and there's work to be done.

[EffectO]

haha,no

Late April.

[Dilldo_]

Funny how the comments section here doesn't have anyone protecting the xbox.. Wanna know why?
Because the ones that are going to buy the xbox are normal, and they don't waste their time to write hate comments on Sony4G instead of doing their homework

[csreynolds]

Says the troll. Contradiction much?

Not everyone is a fanboy...

[Dilldo_]

Now please tell me, how am I a troll?

[csreynolds]

@ Dilldo_:

Challenge accepted.

You said: "Funny how the comments section here doesn't have anyone protecting the xbox.. Wanna know why? Because the ones that are going to buy the xbox are normal, and they don't waste their time to write hate comments on Sony4G instead of doing their homework"

Translated: "PlayStation owners waste their time hating on a Sony-biased news site like children while we Xbox owners rise above it all" - which is rubbish because for every Sony fanboy there's a Microsoft fanboy who is capable of being just as obnoxious and opinionated.

That, my friend, makes you a troll. Next time, try contributing something constructive to the conversation.

[Ron66]

Ain't nobody got time for Xbox!!!

[JamieL]

I do. Hell and Nintendo too.

[craigbic]

I think that Microsoft obviously had some idea of what to expect from the PS4 announcement and so should have those ideas in mind while developing the xbox 720. I'm sure the 720 will have it's pros & cons (as will the PS4) but I'm sure the system will be "next-gen" and competitive with the PS4. To listen to the comments here you would think that xbox is a total world class piece of laughable junk and we know that that is not the case. I'm sure Sony execs don't sit around at meetings laughing at xbox talking about how they have nothing to worry about.

[KillrateOmega]

Kinect 2.0 for days, lol

[Crazay]

I can't help but get annoyed with the persistent rumors of "Blocking" used games. That's called suicide. It's just not going to happen.

[vikingland1]

I wish everyone nothing but the best. But it is getting unbearable here on N4G. No matter what article I click on one side is allways dogging the other side. I am a 48 yr old gamer that still likes to game on any system.It really sickens me to see all the ignorance and intollerance. I will buy almost any system for various reasons. Not because someone tries to make me like their system of choice through hate and trolling.To me I hope that MS & Sony's next systems are amazing gaming machines because I will enjoy both because I am a gamer. Peace to all.

[craigbic]

Well said and I totally agree. That said, I hope Microsoft will make the xbox 720 more reliable than the first several gens of the 360. No more red rings of death and please don't change it to green rings of death. I plan on getting both consoles.

[Jek_Porkins]

Look at all the hate Microsoft is getting from insecure Sony fans. Not sure why you are posting what you WANT Microsoft to show off, but the fact that Sony brought out Move and showed off social features does buy Microsoft some leeway in my opinion.

If they show one new core IP, the actual console and say the words backwards compatible they can shut up and take my money.

[JeffGUNZ]

Exactly, it's been rumored they have a few new IP's for the next gen to be shown off. Hopefully they do.

[mt]

let is see it and let the people decide if it is a "jump in" or not.

[sway_z]

Gamers who want PS4 (myself included) are receiving this kind of rhetoric from the PC community and we don't like it, so let Xbox fans have their moment. It's only fair, and less Wii U hate also...

We're console gamers, we just have our preferences....let's all unite against the tyranny that is 'The PC elitist' ...because some PC users have hit a 'Crysis' since PS4/Blizzard announcement was made.

[e-p-ayeaH]

Probably with Halo 5 announcement along with it.

[o-Sunny-o]

I'm hoping for a gaming machine not iAndroid Xbox.

[FinnTheHuman]

I really don't want a next generation console yet. I'm perfectly fine with my 360 and I have a bad feeling that all decent new games will only be released for the 720.

I will be forced to buy a new console and frankly I don't want to waste my money.

[RuleofOne343]

I can't wait ,am dying to know more .

[dcbronco]

Blah, ack. Another bad article. Based on the silliest side of rumors. Next Xbox geared toward Kinect. Wrong. If better Kinect means the next Xbox is geared toward casual will everything else stay the same. Or will it have more power because hardcore games are important too. Microsoft doesn't have to react to Sony if they have confidence in what they have. It's just other people that will worry. Based on all of the technology that Microsoft has been developing or are rumored to have developed, I don't think they are worried at all.

[Tzuno]

Do it MS do it!!!! nail that ass.

[zAlchemist]

Kinect sucks camel dick just make the new xbox

[DivineAssault]

i must say i like sony much better than ms but, that illumiroom is kinda cool.. Its not something that will make me run out n buy a system tho.. I play my games with the lights off so a projector showing flashes of light as bullets fly by or explosions that are behind me, it would be pretty fun to play.. Once again, not a system selling feature to me tho..

Dont get me wrong cuz sonys touchpad on the dual shock 4 & the ps 4 eye arent system selling features to me either but the controller buttons, sharing, specs, exclusives, & publisher support is.. If ms gets some new exclusives that dont involve shooting & offers some unique features i like, ill CONSIDER buying one.. The 360 had a lot of great exclusives in the 1st half of its life but that died down so i dont want it anymore.. i like the triggers n analogs on 360s controller & the UI is the best this gen but im not paying for xblg & dont want a kinect..

Lets see what they got coming.. Im not ruling them out just yet but i have a feeling it will be a very kinect 2.0 focused system & thats not very appealing to me.. media functionality should be great for it but i want new games that will be great for it.. (shooting games excluded)

The Xbox 720 will improve on gaming in general, 1080p Kinect is just a bonus

I realized what I have been doing by playing Xbox 360 for 5 years, wasting my money. I hate having to deal with the Xbox Live fee,b paying 50$/year was not worth it. I was Xbox gamer I admit back in the day. Having fights on which was better Xbox 360 or PS3, ESPECIALLY PC, until I had an epiphany. I realized as a consumer, that PC and PS3 was the way to go. PC was for personal enjoyment in playing the large collection of PC games, and PS3 for the exclusives in which I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thank you for reading!

And it took you 5 years to figure that out?...lol If you paid 50 dollars a year for 5 years then that's your fault because you can get it cheaper.

Dragos75 I'm sorrybut i haven't found any Xbox Live Membership card that was lower than 40 bucks. I paid 50$ CAD a year because it costed that much at all retail stores. It took me 5 years because I was blindly paying money that I shouldn't be paying much for, for a unsatisfactory console (imho). I'm happy if your enjoying your Xbox 360 experience, I just happened to find that paying to use my own internet is not fair. Thank you for the response, I'll give you a bubble vote! : )

thast your fault for paying that much, i never paid more then 30 a year and thats not alot for a better online service. cry and complain but it simply isnt a lot of money for a better service.

Thank you for the feedback, but that's how much it costed me (50$ CD) each year. I'm not crying or complaining at all good sir, but just informing other people if they dont want to pay that much like I did. Once again thank you.
