Some rumours of the next gen xbox ,some facts and information about today's hardware.

I hope this don't turn into a flame war. No reason for it to tbh. I just googled xbox 720 simply becuase i wanted some info on when we could expect the next gen consoles to arrive.

What i didn't want to read is that they may not be here untill 2015.I'm a PC gamer and like all of us....Console or PC ,i think we all want the next big push to arrive sooner.

Some interesteing comments by crytek and others.

Obviously if this turns into a flame war(NO NEED WE ALL HAVE GAMING IN COMMON SO BE NICE ) then it's topic locked. But i enjoyed reading that thread and thought i would share.

Hopefully it will provide some information for those that don't really know whats inside there machines. Be it PC or Consoles.

EDIT (It has nothing to do with Skyrim Directly. If you feel that you might upset another platform crowed by posting here.Then please just read the article and don't post any thing.)

Do we have any rumors about the PS4? Who's to say the next Xbox comes out first? Anyway, thanks for the link. I'm going to go check it out, now.

I'm sorry, What has this to do about Skyrim? Do they mention it, Is there an interview?
Also, PS3 FTW XBAWKS SUX SOOOOO HARD.

Have you not been reading these forums and seen the amount of Bickering there is about hardware.?? It's for Fans of gaming in general. And might provide some information to some that want it.

So, I read the page. From what I can see, the rumors are all over the place. I wonder if Timesplitters 4 really is being developed for the next Xbox, already. On the other hand, there are people claiming it won't come out until 2015 based on the ten year life cycle comment. What that person is forgetting is that a life cycle can still continue even if a new platform of the same brand is out. The PS2's life cycle lasted about 10 or 11 years even though the PS3 came out 6 years into its life. I think Sony and Microsoft will do something similar with these next-generation consoles and will simply support the current-generation ones, for a while, after releasing the new ones, so I think we may see a next-generation console from one of them before 2015, but I can't guarantee it, of course.

I hope the next console gen is the last one before they get replaced by the increasingly popular home theater PC. Or at least the last financially successful console generation.

Nice to see my sarcasm didn't go to waste. :rolleyes:

Will see what happens these are just "rumors" thnx for the info though.

there was an apparent leak by some of Sony Taiwan partners that due to the WII U the ps4 has had it dev cycle speed up and would be released in 2012.

Only thing I know about when the next gen is coming? When I got a PS3 last month, I looked for a list of RPGs (to find what games I might be interested in).

And the list of released games was shorter than the list of upcoming games.

This says to me, that the developers think there's still a good while to go in this gen (well, and the fact that it takes a long time to get these games made).



I've played both console and PC games for decades. And personally, I've liked the fact that the current consoles helped keep down the system requirements on PC games - because I'm not the kind of gung-ho PC hobbyist who builds a rockin' PC from parts.... I'm the kind who has an old PC, and won't be able to replace it for awhile.

The decreased system requirements these past few years has made it possible for me to enjoy many of the PC games that came out, rather than just staring at the ads and thininking "gee, it would have been nice to be able to play that. Maybe someday."

...which reminds me of how I spent the last gen. Looking at all the PC games I wouldn't be able to play, because the GPU requirements jumped on a yearly basis.

So, yeah.... I don't see the past few years as a bad thing, PC wise. :shrug:

I don't belive in that http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20110704PD202.html, but instead think that the new hardware next year will turn out to be a PS3 slim slim.

My thought?
Xbox 360: Running all the way just to end up where you started.
Xbox 720: Running twice as much just end up where you started.

@Seti18: Agreed, I expect about a two year overlap on the console generations.

All that I gathered from that article is that there is a next-gen console coming from Microsoft and/or Sony in 2012 at the earliest and 2015 at the latest.
