What's on your (hypothetical) Xbox 540 wish list?

Rumors of an Xbox "520"-basically a half-step between the Xbox 360 and, say, the next-next gen console, the 720-have been circulating for...well, just about as long as the 360's been out.

1.1 - I think the 360's 2008
Line up is pretty good. Sure, Sony has a better 08 line-up and Sony's exclusive line up is phenominal and you can't hold everyone to that. Last year's 360 line-up was phenominal and blew Sony out of the water but each system will have it's own year or quarter or month. I don't think you can call the 2008 360 line-up horrible (even with multi-plat games) we've had or will have by year's end:
Lost Odysessy
Mass Effect
GTA IV
Ninja Gaiden II
Too Human
COD 4
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Fable 2
Rainbow Six Vegas 2
Fallout 3
Gears of War 2
Age of Conan (MMO)
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Saints Row 2

These games to name a few make the 08 line up pretty decent. Stop trolling buddy and stick to your PS3 news articles;)

2 - 360 fans can come up with a list
but the only ones that will come to pass is whatever microsoft decides to copy from nintendo and sony after "THEY" make it.

just like before...

usb...we'll add that just like sony did on ps2
dvd...we'll add that just like sony did
1080p..we'll add that just like sony did
hdmi...we'll add that just like sony did
rumble built inside controller...we'll add that just like sony did
hard drive...we'll add that just like sony did with the OG PS2
larger hard drive...we'll add this after saying 20gig was enough and sony having a bigger,switchable hdd
BC...we'll add that just like sony did
motion control...we'll add that just like nintendo and sony did
video camera...we'll add that just like sony did
video service...we'll add that and get it out before sony does like they were saying they will do years earlier
high def media...we'll add that but end up losing with an add-on that has never ever sold in large amounts from 64dd,32x to sony's hdd
casual controller...we'll add that just like sony did with BUZZ
singing game...we'll add that just like sony did with singstar
play-create-share games...we'll add that like sony showed with LBP

and as microsoft thought sony would recreate XBL,sony said,"we'll make a 3D community.""not XBL."and watch,microsoft will just add something like it later on.you'll see.....they have no original bone in their bodies at microsoft except for what they know best.which is software only.

but copying is their way of life.disagree,and i'll just bring up MAC OS and IPOD.

megaton.................

did sony creat video games in the first place?? coz i swear i was playing an atari vcs2600 back in the early eighties?? and i'm sure my master system was made by sega, and my nes ny nintendo??

the creche is that way------> go and play with other fanboys!

on topic. i don't want a mid life change for the 360, i want new, improved and much more powerful hardware in 2010. five years after the 360 was launched.

sporting: a blu-ray player, a custom built and powerful cpu, a custom built and powerful gpu, 2-4 gig of ram and a hdd as standard! and definately keep the 360 pad for the next console! you cant and dont need to change perfection. the 360 pad is the best i've used in over 2 decades of gaming... imo ofcourse

Didn't you have more bubbles a few days ago???

Don't make it seem like Micro is the only one copying off of another company. They all do it. They all want to create something similar to the competition, but just a little bit better. No console maker or game maker is exempt from this. If you think otherwise, then you are obviously blinded by the Sony shield my friend.

Its not even that, it's just another rumour that people have seemed to run with.

MS have already countered and stated "no new xbox in 2009". Yet people continue to talk about it???

Agreed!

If that's the trend, they'll end up with an Xbox 2000.

This isn't a vacuum cleaner or hit points in a JRPG. It's an expensive gaming console!

7.2 - They can't
Why? Naming it the Xbox 2/3 will sound behind. Xbox 2 vs PS3, naturally the PS3 sounds better in our minds, higher number. That is the reason behind the name Xbox 360 rather than Xbox 2.

I know why they did it, its pathetic.

So instead of appearing inferior they appear juvenile, scared and very worried of what everyone might think about them.

10 - Cost cutting changes don't do any thing to improve game performance
Microsoft and Sony will revise their system over the years to bring cost down. For Sony, they already cut cost with the latest revision by removing backward compatibility chipset as well as smaller hard drive and fewer usb ports. For Microsoft, their current Falcon model has a smaller 65nm CPU among other things.

These cost cutting revisions should not be considered as upgrades because they do nothing to make the systems more powerful.

1. improve reliability.
2. dont make it sound like a 747 about to land.
3. standard hardrive.
4. use bluray.
5. make it look, i dunno, nicer? to me it looks like a dirty white plastic box.
6. dont change the controller, maybe refine it.

i suppose thats it for me. i bet theres more though.

this is BS anyway, there never will be a '540', so i just wasted my time

Somehow this is one funny thread because you can't help but think of the other platform's features which the Xbox 360 currently lack. In my opinion though, they should put a hold on this supposed "540" upgrade and focus all of these ideas on the new 720. If these rumors are true, then the MS guys could come up with a "rushed" ugly console.

how can ms be alerday planning their nex console when this gen of gaming is just gettting heatd up, i guees if u cant take the heat get out of the kitchen or in ms world if u cannont take the heat of ps3 catching up and wii selling amazing then bring out another console that will have everything the ps3 has but even better,....sony planned the ps3 for at least 8-10 years, u never hears rumors about a ps4 when sony was going throw hard times with the ps3 but now things are looking postive for sony ms getting ready for a new console because they are looking at throwing away their lead, EDIT... in europe sony has overtaken the 360 and in japan the 360 almost does not exsit in that region so that just leaves america, and if things keep gong like this ms will lose their lead in that region as well.......but still i would love to see another x box just to see if ms really has what it takes to compete with sony and nintendo and to prove that the 360 succes is not a fluke.

20 - Im satisfied with my 360
I have a 08 falcon 360 and its very reliable.The only time I can hear it is when im playing a 360 game but when I have a CD,DVD or original Xbox game in its very silent.I just hope I see GTA V,PGR 5 and Halo 4 come out for it in the future.
