Next Xbox 720 to launch in 2011-2012 according to Microsoft

supadupagama March 13th, 2007 Listen to this article "Hey! Listen!"

Microsoft Xbox 360While Sony already admitted to be thinking about the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo are no doubt developing a Wii 2… In an interview with the head of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business division, Peter Moore, EGM magazine asked him when their next video game console would come out, and also asked if they’d drop support for the Xbox 360 like they did with the original Xbox. He said that they were going to support it “as long as it sold.” Possibly because they saw the Xbox sell well into 2007 despite not producing the console after October 2005.

He said the production team from the Xbox 360 is working on the next Xbox 720 [our pet name], and their looking into what kind of CPUs will be available on the market in 2011-2012. That would put the Xbox 360 at a lifespan of 6 or 7 years, a far cry from the Xbox’s 4 years. After spending $1.26 billion in losses launching the Xbox 360, they’ll want to get the most out of the system by lengthening its lifespan. As the longer you get into the cycle, the more profit you can make due to stopping being a loss leader, analysts always remark.

    Top news in the microsoft family. Xbox “720″ will have bluray (duh) movie style animations and run on what microsoft calls ” a breakthrough in computer science”. The system will also be able to play all games without extra downloading and even computer games. Microsoft also noted that the system will not be ised like a computer but for serious gaming. So all the attention will go to the gaming expeirence. Can’t wait. Xbox 4life

    The only reason people are saying that the Amiga CD32 was better than the 3DO and Jaguar is because they were on GT countdown top 10 worst consoles and the Amiga CD32 was not. It was a very short lived console and was far less powerfull than either of those consoles It was 32 bit with 2 16 bit proccesers for god sake! But because the Amiga CD32 was more powerfull the SNES and the CD - i (I’m sure it is) and could show more colors then the FM Towns Marty it should have had it’s fair share of 3 years on the market it had some good games but it was not as powerful as the Jaguar or 3DO and all the Hot Games for it were not the actual versions of the game E.G Gloom Alien Breed 3D (I think thats a Wolfienstien 3D game but im not sure) and it sadly failed it should have had time to put up more of a fight againt the PlayStation like the Jaguar and 3DO did but it only had like just over a year on the market well homebrew support countined but i am disgusted than on Wikipedia no one has bothered to put the total number of units it sold down and crap like the Virtual Boy has been put down (even if it is capable of processing more powerfull games) and forgot to put it down for the CD32! And i might be seeing things but where is the list of games that i saw a few months ago? People should be more considerate to this short lived game console with all it’s potential. Oh and who do i want to win the gamerace? Definitely the 360 the 720 should dominate the next round would be glad to see who agrees with me. ;-)

    Does anyone know if any of the Amiga CD32 games have been rated by ESRB because there have been a load of games made the system after it was introduced, and most of the Jaguar and some of the 3DO games had an ESRB rating. So anyone have any feedback on that one?
