And as the credits note you inevitably had to corral Asians. Well this will make for an interesting Loading Time.

Oh, c'mon! The Zune wasn't that bad!

...Now, the Kin... that should've been pissed on.
The what now?

Haha, I jest. (Sorta. The Zune may have been average, but at least it was memorable.)

..Sorry, but what the hell is a "Zune"? All I know is that it's..Some microsoft..thingy.
That was its big problem it was a .. "hip" thing made by Microsoft. Microsoft is as hip as seeing your local card club rapping about the price of coffee...

But yeah .. what the hell must be done to make a next-gen console. More processing power.. yeah obviously but that alone won't work. Better graphics card.. DUH. More Memory? Yeah.. obvious..

But that only makes an Xbox 360 -version 2 ... or a PS3 version 2 .. it doesn't feels like omg this is so powerful. It will feel like "Yeah its faster.. yeah it has more memory yeah.. yeah.. "
But the thing is it hasn't been small leaps, there are multiple generations of each of those peices of hardware, not to mention that tiny things like say upping the ram (pathetic on consoles) wouldn't even cost a lot.

A standardised dx 11 machine would probably run better than mist of pc's because the devs would be coding for the exact set up.
True consoles that really can offer 1080p instead of the "720p" or "upscaled to 1080p" as we have nowadays. More powerful hardware would of course require time to think about the thermal design. Why?

Well the original Xbox is a big no HUGE console.. a pc in a console housing but overheating? no!

The Xbox 360 well.. enough said about the years of the ring of death.

So if there is a follow up on the Xbox 360 they better design it well to begin with.

Still is there enough market right now.. I mean money is thight.. sure games are still being sold but if you are not one of the big AAA titles it gets harder. So what will the future hold?

One would think that after the first warehouse filled up, that Microsoft would stop making them. Maybe even after the second. But they never stopped, for some reason. They just really wanted to fill up those warehouses.

Haha Zune, never had one, but I did have a Dell DJ.

The sad thing is that it had some awesome features that even the most recent i devices don't. It's not quite as sad as the fact that the best upgrade for the consoles is to do nothing, but still pretty sad.

Game design is a process, and the process can be slow.

Watch Video
So Graham what do you think of the chances that it was one of the engineers who were hired to work on the Xbox 720 was the one who touched Peter Molyneux's chair [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/116737-Peter-Molyneux-Calls-Microsoft-a-Creative-Padded-Cell]?

I loved the cutaway to Sony, "Orbis? What?" and a Dreamcast XD. Also the Microsoft Zune Shredder is actually a 360 attachment now.
I love how they omit the "will only play new games and used games have to be rebought" detail. It shows that Sony's development team isn't retarded.

... That was Sony's development team, right? I'd rather have oblivious morons than vindictive ones.
