Xbox 720

What will be diffrent from the "720" that isn't in the 360 :S

pointless console imo

So it was pointless to do the following then:

Xbox > Xbox 360

Sony PlayStation 1 > PlayStation 2 > PlayStation 3

Can't be bothered to list Nintendo's but do you see the point? These consoles get new versions every so often and I wouldn't call them pointless either.

So it was pointless you upgrading from a Windows 95 computer to a new Windows 7 computer was it? Same scenario.

that's 'cause software, hardware & technology completely changed... those update were NEEDED.

I went from ps1 > ps2 > 360


& that's because games had changed completely but with the 360 & 720... they're the same? :S unless they are completley going to change the was the disc is read... if they are still making updates on the 360 why do they NEED to make a new console... it's not NEEDED

Oh my god. Are you serious again? Technology changes all the time, the next Xbox and PlayStation will have BETTER AND IMPROVED HARDWARE. It will mean that games can be even more better than they are now... you can't just keep the Xbox 360 as it is now and leave it for the next XX amount of years without any updates to the hardware. Yes they are making changes to the software and the interface, to make it better.

Sony will make a PS4
Xbox will make a new Xbox
Nintendo have already announced about them working on their next console.

All three companies need to bring out new consoles.

Pointless?! How?! The Xbox 360 was out of date when it was released and now.. well the graphics are just not that good compared to PC's or other such devices. The update is LONG overdue. I was in a game store the other day and they had some aeroplane game running on it. The graphics looked awful comparing them to my pc. You could see the refresh rate on the screen and the plane looked cheap and tacky. If that was my PC I would have thrown it out of the window.

In short, the Xbox DOES need updating. It is out of date & it's long over due. I don't see graphics cards manufacturers releasing their 'next gen' cards 7 years after the original release?

ik this & i understand where you are coming from but i don't think it's necessary. The only platform i think needs and update for 2013 is nintendo 'cause the Wii is ****. & you have kinect & move which just killed the Wii anyways.

Yes there is going to be a PS4 & a "720" but i think they are going a bit too fast... 2013 is less than two years away... what will change in that time period? Apart from the digital switch-over. Will all tv's be 3D so they need to make 3D games? Will there consoles be like 100x's as fast? what!?

I don't see what will change... that's why I'm saying it's pointless

The next Xbox is between 2013 and 2015 if we are going to off any of the articles that have been posted in the past. These consoles can't be upgraded easily like you can with a computer and therefore they play the catch up game, they need to be updated in terms of hardware to make gameplay look even more awesome and amazing. There is a limit on what you can produce for a game console for so long, it's time for such consoles to be updated.

I have no idea about 3D, I'm not a fan of it as it is but that's not what I'm saying here. Not all televisions will be 3D because it's not kicked off where we are all rushing out to replace our current TV's with 3D.

What will change is that people will be demanding better gaming experiences, and as said above, the graphics do need an update.

How can you think that updating consoles is pointless?! Things are constantly updating to IMPROVE them. The xbox 360 has now been out for years.. Strictly speaking it's about time a new one was brought out!

What's the digital switch over got to do with anything console related? Lots can happen in 2 years and you have to remember they were probably in R&D since the last console launched. Some developers are calling for new consoles as the current consoles can't handle 1080p on a higher intensity game. So going to 1080p @60fps is one thing that people want, and textures being a higher resolution, polygons etc. If you were to play a game on a high end PC compared to a modern console, you would see a difference. That saying, a console will not ever be what a high end pc is at the time of release as it would be far too expensive, but they do get more powerful (generally) every generation.
