"There have been many rumors moving around the internet about the upcoming 720 console from Microsoft. We all have are hopes for how it will turn out and our predictions of what it will consist of. You may have saw futuristic images around the web like the one below. There has not been an official release date announced for the system, but we can conclude that it is in development from leaked documents with plans for the system. So we want to try something a little fun here and look into our crystal ball to make some bold predictions for the next system from Microsoft, the first of which will be that the system will indeed be called the Xbox 720 when it finally launches in 2013. So read on to learn more, and don't forget to comment and let us know what you think Microsoft has planned for their next system!"
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Yeah, I can't wait until get my hands on one of these.
I usually play more PC games than Xbox. But I admit I want one of these.
Yeah, I was about to buy a new bundled edition console for one of the video games I want. But figure may need to hold out and wait to see when this is released before I have too many consoles in my house. :-)
Bigger better and more videogames is what we have to look forward too.
The first AAAA title, even better online services, great games and a fun community that is easy to use.
Really getting excited for a new Xbox console.
