The Xbox 720 (which is what it will unlikely be called) is what we would like to expect from Microsoft’s next console release.
If, like us, you were slightly disappointed by the recent announcements by the various big wigs at Microsoft stating that Kinect will add five years onto the Xbox 360’s life span, then we are sure you have found yourself wondering what the next generation console will be like. Well I thought I would share some of the features and ideas that I would like to see implemented into the ’720′ including the Kinect2.
A new survey from Microsoft has further hinted at the possibility of an Xbox handheld being in development.
This is definitely happening, I just hope they have 2 versions one with a much bigger screen.
i have that logitech g-cloud. Its a sweet little piece of kit. I like that it can also install games from the play store unlike the other android based handheld.
I wonder if Microsoft will perform better in Japan if they do actually make a handheld since everyone says handheld and mobile are king over there.
This looks like the future of the game industry... all three platforms with a handheld option.
I wonder if the Playstation Portal is a technology test-bed/prototype for a future Playstation handheld?
- Xbox Wire - Mark your calendars! The Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] Direct airs June 9. More info inside.
For a brief moment I thought we might get a whole Direct for Gears 6 - seems like it's COD though!
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
apart from lower failure rate and blueray thats all
they are never going to make online free and the hardware itself is fine just it keeps breaking
I would seriously doubt any hardware issues, They won't rush it to the market this time and It will be as solid as the original xbox.
They should have picked HD-DVD for the 360 in the first place, now they would have to use BD for the 720 no matter what, dumb MS. I would also love free online but that will never happen with them.
Not to burst anyones bubble or anything but didn't Microsoft already state that Kinect is their next gen console? If so there isn't going to be a '720'. Sorry. @ StickTwiddlers. Didn't say that but seeing that a console's life span is several years, I think it is too early to talk about another system
I never really got the points system surely showing something in actually money makes more sense
