A Microsoft VP has confirmed that the company is already in the planning stages for a next-next-gen follow up to the Xbox 360.

The "Xbox 720" looms on the horizon

Saying that "You can't sit back on your laurels in this business," Microsoft EMEA (European, Middle East, and Africa) vice president Chris Lewis told Kikizo that the company is hard at work designing a new next-gen console.

Damn it. Can't we enjoy a generation for a few years first?

That's like 2 weeks old, and it's generally not a point of concern. There's a 100% chance that the other two are also working on successors.

Not that much info.So its X-Box 720.

Demonicus Prime · 11-17-2006, 10:33 PM

Hell, I think CliffyB said in his interview on Emergence Day said that Gears of War Two is going to be on the next Xbox.

This is typical and to be expected within a year of launch. Besides, they're probably going to do a 5 year cycle whether Nintendo and Sony like it or not.

Hey guess what?

Not only is Microsoft already working on Vista's successor, but also on the OS to be released AFTER that one.

Just because they start making it now doesn't mean it's coming out for like 4 years anyway.

it takes years to work on a next gen console...to improve and find research. PS2 had a lifespan of about 6-7 years. It'll take about 6 years for the XBOX 720 to come out. It's nothing to worry about, in fact you should be glad that there is all these rapid advances in graphics,memory enhancements, etc. If they waited a few years for the XBOX 360 to have some "gametime" then by the time another NEXT GEN console will be released it'll be too late. Sony did this with the PS2 and the PS3....except the original plan for a PS3 was to be like a PSP.

Think about how good the 720's graphics would be.They would be....good...

Yes, just good.

Demonicus Prime · 11-18-2006, 05:13 PM

^Heh....

Yeah, I think at that point, the PS3 and 360 would be like, a good Virtual Boy.

MC Luigi · 11-18-2006, 05:40 PM

hehe. This is pathetic. Barely a year and the new console is in production.

FXGlobal · 11-19-2006, 01:12 AM

I was thinking the name would've been Xbox 540. But, that works too.

Oh, and they're working on another console already?!?

This isn't the real wvw. He's too stupid. See his posts in the RPG top 10 lists.
He's acting way too stupid. No don't say "lol hes alws liek this" or whatever...
This doesn't look like him. Little brother?

wariovswario · 11-22-2006, 02:46 PM

wtf...i seriously didn't post that. I'm not THAT dumb. And on the sidenote, just because they are researching for the new console doesn't mean it will be out anytime soon. If begun now, it'll probably take AT LEAST six to seven years for it to even be shown in public.
