New Xbox 360 "doesn't make sense"

The confusion surrounding 'Xbox Natal' continues, as retailer ShopTo, analyst Michael Pachter and an industry-leading developer close to Microsoft all sound off on the suggestion that Microsoft will refresh the Xbox hardware line in autumn 2010..

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer put a spanner in the works overnight by announcing a new Xbox 360 with a built-in camera for a 2010 launch. He may simply have been referring to an Xbox 360-plus-Natal bundle, however, and used simple, engaging phrases to excite a room of non-videogame savvy execs..

its already been clarified by Aaron and they wont let slip a new sku until its ready.

qface645461d ago

i would take the word of balmer over Aaron

i mean balmer is the top dog at microsoft
from what i heard

I believe he said that so sales wouldn't stall. People hold out for things like this when they are announced.

Arknight5461d ago

Aaron Greenburg's job is PR....hes trying to plug the leak, but its already been sprung by his boss..

Xbox 360 with Eyetoy included confirmed

ThanatosDMC5461d ago

After seeing "analyeast Michael Pachter...," i didnt want to read the article anymore.

This is just FUD created by Sony boys that don't want to see the Xbox 360 last long.

It doesn't make any sense to make a much more sucessful console as the Xbox 360 to last the same time period that the original experiment did, just when they're perfectly priced for the tough economic era and keep leading in the HD market.

The xbox 360 has came here to stay. Get over it already

Even Crazy Kutaragi can be an Xbox boy if you take his words out of context.

Another Xbox 360?they STILL haven't fixed the RROD?

silvacrest5461d ago

even if thats true (i havnt seen any confirmation by anyone with credit)
are we forgetting E74 and rare/random failures? disk drive, video card

im really not trying to sound like a fanboy but these problems still exist

II Necroplasm II5461d ago (Edited 5461d ago )

E74: AV cable error... There is a problem with the AV cable, try using a different AV cable. If the cable is known to be working then there is a 90% chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip connected directly to the AV cable) in rare cases it is the GPU.

I had E74 once. Then I had the disk drive to go out on me. So yeah, they are coming with a new 360 for sure lol.

Can't believe they didn't redesigned the console awhile back lol. But my second 360 is the Falcon and it works great.

The_Beast5461d ago

WE FIXED IT!!!! PLEASE BELIEVE US, forgive us for making up BS that the last 23113432148 chips fixed the rrod

This news got PS3 fans so worked up they keep posting these articles making sure everybody knows about the new Xbox rumor and with added speculation about Natal they wan't people to see.

qface645461d ago

i don't see what this has to do with ps3 fanboys?

articles like these always gets posted so much on N4G
just look at all those natal vs wand articles

DlocDaBudSmoka5461d ago

it's PS3 fans up in arms about it? seems to me its all the 360 fans,(not fanboys) there is a difference. Not to mention the press hyping this thing as the next coming of Christ.

really duh5461d ago (Edited 5461d ago )

Have you seen the reaction and the ratio in the rumor articles? nothing but angry PS3 fans in them. Not to mention most of the contributors submitting these articles are known pro Sony members LMAO

really duh5461d ago (Edited 5461d ago )

Sure if you say so. I don't think I said that I said the people reacting to this news badly are the PS3 fans based on their 5 to 1 ratio in the articles and the PS3 fan contributors seem to be the only people interested in this news and they keep posting the same rehashed articles over and over again.

There was a sh*t load of these articles being posted and they are being deleted not even making it to the failed section.

thebudgetgamer5461d ago (Edited 5461d ago )

it wasn't meant to bash you just curious. i for one am glad theres not going to be a new xbox. because i have yet to purchase a 360 and i dont want to be left high and dry like when i bought the original xbox.

edit: fuch that you act all innocent when youre just as bad as any ps3 fanboy. do you ever go into a thread not thinking of bashing ps3?
bubububu teh sony fans. Shut up fricken hypocrite!!!

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
