What will the next-generation Xbox 720 be like? Is it already in development? Much more questions answered in this extensive article. An in-depth look on the rumors and hype surrounding the Xbox 720, what features we can expect and what should be included. And finally, will Microsoft drop support for the 360 once its new console ships?
Even as the company sets out to overhaul the very definition of Xbox, cuts at its studios risk creating a negative image reminiscent of EA's worst era
I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.
Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.
The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.
Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.
That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.
If you live in the EU then Please sign this or our game ownership rights and game preservation is
at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition
People whine and in the end don't do a thing. Then whine more when they get screwed some more smh. If this makes it then it'll be monumental for consumers. That Pirate software guy was no help either smh.
There are many exciting updates this month for Xbox. Copilot for Gaming is available now for early preview on mobile and will be coming to PC soon. Xbox PC app introduces a wave of new updates: Aggregated gaming library gives players quick access to games from Xbox, Game Pass, and other leading PC storefronts, and with publisher channels players can browse their favorite franchises. Updates for the Xbox Console includes customization for Most Recently Used, free-to-play benefits, Game Hubs, and dialog improvements for game saves.
"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."
This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.
Gotta be a slow news day when a 18 hours and 3 comments (now 4)makes it to the front page🤷🏿

Well anything that adds and help gamers is a good thing even if some don’t need it there’ll be more that will use it.
Of course it is already in development. Does anybody seriously think the people responsible for that just sit there for like, five or six years, giving each other hugs and then the supervisor comes in to tell them they have to design a new platform, do the research and stuff? The only good example I can think of right now is the CELL CPU, which has been in development for about seven years before we saw it in the PS3. Anyway, besides hoping that there will be a significant rise in power with the next generation, I also want them to take more time to create a reliable product. I hate beating a dead horse, but the only thing that's holding me back from buying an XBox360 is the RRoD - and I really want to play DOAX2.
The 360 is all MS's own IP they can churn it out forever. The xbox wasn't their IP and they were held over a barrel by nvidia, whom they'll probably never do business with again.
The 360 will have a long life, it's a very capable console and they'll angle it at the casual when the price lowers, lowers, and lowers. It *might* become fairly ubiquitous eventually, like the ps2, but with far better options for the casual [xbla, demos, community, long-awaited iptv, xblvm and hopefully zune integration too].
NB. Anyone who thinks that Sony's 10 year plan for the ps3 means the won't release another console in that time are being silly.
microsoft has a good chance to beat out ps3 in terms of the graphics of what it can do.i think they can pull off some crazy cool things with there new system whatever the name might be you know it will be hard to catch up the the ps3 but its hard for ps3 to catch up to 360 so we'll have to wait and see i cant wait
I mean after reading all your insights, it got me thinking. What does Microsoft have up its sleeve? The Xbox 360 seemed to pull out ahead of the PS3, until the price drop and the release of MGS4. What will happen when the PS4 releases? I just wonder.
Isn't it a bad sign that people talk about x720 right now?
