Honestly, I'd be completely okay if there wasn't a console in the works. The 360 is still a great console that is still getting groundbreaking titles released for it. Basically, there's still a lot of life left in the xbox
UPDATE: Rumor: EA Already Has the 360's Successor, Microsoft to Reveal at E3

You do release that a brand spanking new console title can cost between AU$100-$120 (which is like US$107-$128) in Australia, right?Sinclose said:
I totally agree. I though holiday season 2011 would bring a new Xbox. I'll take 2012 though.Delusibeta said:
And there is no reason the 360 needs to be forced out the door the way the original Xbox was. It could fill a PS2-like role, as the cheap Xbox option. It has a good install base and a good used game market. And I would not be surprised if the architecture in the next Xbox is not a huge departure from the 360, meaning it would be easy to develop the same a game for both platforms at once.
because everything that MS has said has contridicted this?
Denied there were issues with launch system... lies
They denied the existence of the systems with HDMI saying they would never do that to their current customer base... lies
Said they wouldn't bring out the 250GB drives for solo sale (so you HAD to get an Elite)... lies
There's a few others. Not against MS (as I'm on xbox #6... or was that 7?), just saying, I don't trust a single word that they say.

I don't get it, an anonymous person who works for neither EA or Microsoft says they've already made a new console, and it becomes a news story? Why do my tips never get picked up?
(Pst... Anonymous is actually funded and run by SONY, who plan to use the organisation as reasoning to put forward new and restrictive internet security laws, post a news story!)

It makes sense since M$ has been so quiet about upcoming exclusives, so they're probably got something big they're working on, but with the Kinect I find it hard to believe that they would pump so much money into something and then move on so soon, unless the next console is 100% compatible with it.
Eh. Why am I not surprised?
The Xbox was, from the very beginning the most PC-like of all the consoles.
Anyone want to take bets on what this prototype console is like, considering it's inside of a regular PC case?
(I mean, the Original Xbox WAS a PC. It's entire list of components was the same as a low-end PC. The 360 had a few quirks. A processor not used in PC's, and a GPU not specifically ever used in a PC. But considering the API is cross-compatible with PC's...)

People here seem to equate it to differing opinions. I don't want the next batch of consoles yet either. Graphics are fine the way they are.ZeroMachine said:
How about a minecraft block of sand? I really don't think that microsoft will be announcing their next gen console at E3 even if they do or do not have one especially after they just released another version of the Xbox 360 alongside a new gaming prehep- prehap- pre-ah f*** it, gaming tool bar thing at the end of last year. They'll wait until those things have lost their use before coming forward with the new carrot to lead us on into their pockets.Scott Bullock said:

X2 DOUBLE CONSOLE REVEAL COMBO
I hope this is true, the last time we got two console reveals simultaneously it was great (the "Revolution" didn't count because they didn't show any games).

Gonna have to disagree with that. I've noticed console games struggling with frame-rates recently, I think it's time for new hardware.
No, anonymous source, you saw it wrong. I know it looks a 100x better than a xbox 360 but it's just a regular gaming PCScott Bullock said:
I'm not really looking forward to a new console generation any time soon. Is there room for improvement? Yes, plenty, but developers already have problems in terms of finance and time limitations. Plus, I don't want to have to upgrade my computer again too. One nice thing about all these console ports is it means a computer with the specs at or better than a 360 will run just fine.
Also, this is really bad for Nintendo. Their new console may be more powerful than a 360, but if a new Xbox comes out a year later, they'll be left in the dust once again.

Actually, Scott, considering how broken the original X360 was, I think I would very much NOT love to see a new console from Microsoft.Scott Bullock said:
I'm one of those guys who thinks we should leave the hardware alone for as long as possible and just let the devs do what they do. Considering how long the development cycle is for a AAA game these days, I'd give it another 3-5 years before releasing the next generation.
Me too. I see absolutely no benefit whatsoever in increasing hardware capability now, unless it has a new control method, online system or whatever. If a new cycle really hits this or next year, I'll pass. So long console gaming. Wonder how long you'll survive...Irridium said:
