"So much of what we do is ephemeral and quickly forgotten, even by ourselves, so it's gratifying to have something you have done linger in people's memories." John Williams

Reported today: Production day for the next Xbox chips (silicon) has already arrived.

This part takes the longest to develop and it's nearly finished. If everything goes well, this will give Microsoft just enough time to get mass production going for these consoles. Give it a couple months and you have a ton of new consoles. There is a discussion on this going over at GAF and I wouldn't be surprised if someone leaks something in the coming weeks.

2013 is definitely a year of new consoles.

This new console generation will launch console graphics FAAAR a head. They won't be as good as PC games.


Aaaand you know this how?


Pc's will ALWAYS be better looking than consoles.

If they aren't on the console's launch (and they will be) they will be 2 weeks later.

We'll see. I honestly don't care about the PC. I just hope the new tech will amaze me and give us more content in newer games.

The Xbox's hardware is too old now to keep up with a current PC. You could probably run oblivion at like 100 fps if not higher with a top end computer now.

The 360 is showing it's age. Dead Space 3's anti-aliasing is pathetic compared to what it looks like on a PC. There's gonna be an upgrade and soon.

Why do you guys want a new console so badly?!?! That's just $300+ to spend on it, with new controllers/headsets to get and such. There isn't anything that makes the Xbox 360 bad enough to replace right now...

The Xbox 360 needs to be replaced.....for multiple reasons already stated in this thread.

Plus....a controller or 2 will come with the new Xbox....and i'm sure that if you have a non-Microsoft headset that it'll work on the new Xbox.

No.

Unless the new Xbox costs 2000$ I'ts not going to be better than the best rigs you can put together.

One thing though, if they -blam!- with the controller and they make it into crap I won't buy it.

The 360 controller is so perfect.

I'm perfectly comfortable and in no way intend to replace the 360. It's probably the last console I'll ever buy.

I really don't understand why I have a signature.

Haven't they been saying this the past few years now?

There is no reason to be frustrated with the 360. It offers great games in good quality.

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

It would have to be backwards compatible or it really would not go far. Anyways, I would not be too surprised if they revealed it this year. I sure hope they don't though.

  • 01.02.2013 3:52 PM PDT

I probably won't buy it on launch anyway unless it has some pretty good games ._.

The super old tech is holding back games for far more than graphics. A new xbox will allow thing such as..

60 FPS games across the board.
Larger games in general.
Ability to hold hundreds of pretty smart AI in the game at once.
Higher FOV.

ect.

I think you get the idea.

I can agree with this....although I prefer keyboard and mouse....but in terms of controllers....the Xbox 360 controller really is the best.

I say they should keep the design. I mean...look at the jump from the PS2 controller to the PS3 controller....no change. Look at what Nintendo did with the WiiU....they gave you the option to use your Wii remote instead.

I am the last of the primes.

What do guys think of rough specs???

I'm thinking a hex core with 4-8Gb of Ram, I can't really say much about about the Gpu but I feel it will be on the level of all but the most powerful Gpu (as the 360 was).

Remember I highly doubt there going to put the price point at above 600$

>Most powerful GPU
That would be the 680 or 7970....which will in no way be in the next Xbox.

>Hex core
Only like....uber high end $2000+ PCs have hex core CPUs in them.

>4-8GB of RAM
A game console has no need for this much RAM. It really only needs 2 or 3 at most....but RAM is so cheap now a days that if the new Xbox did have 4GB of RAM...it would be just cause....but Microsoft doesn't do things "just cause."

I wonder if Microsoft will actually, you know, release games with their new console this time. The 360's launch was pitiful.


Destiny, perhaps? Among others, of course.

2013 minus 2005 does not equal 7. Its 8 years. Its time for a new xbox.
-_-

2013 JUST started. The 360 came out holiday 2005. Not until holiday 2013 will it be 8 years

Who cares how long it has been if it can still run good-quality games. I just don't see any significant reason why the 360 should be replaced.
