    Guys who here thinks that natal is the next xbox because why else will micosoft make a big deal out of it by putting it on MTV just like the xbox360
    I'll bet that it's going to have a 250gb HD and natal as the xbox 720
    also with the new wave thing for there boxs might be the 720 boxs
    because there's only 3 games for the xbox this year
    halo 4
    fable 3
    gears 3
    after that zero games
    this is there best time for a new xbox because the xbox is now 5 years old

    I'll bet 20 euros that natal is the next xbox

    they might introduce a new slim version of the 360 along with natal which is possible if you believe the pics that were leaked awhile ago. at least we won't have long to wait to find out.

    1: There is already 250Gb 360s out there.
    2: There is more in the pipe line.
    Deus Ex: HR
    Mass Effect 3
    Assassins Creed 3
    Modern Warfare 3
    The next Splinter Cell
    Forza 4

    and many more.

    So what if its 5 years old. The PS2 was 7 before the PS3 came out, Xbox was replaced so quick because it was late of that generation.

    MS and Sony have both said this generation will last longer than the last.
    The rate of hardware improvements has slowed down, Moore's law is starting to show cracks.

    I reckon both Sony and MS will wait for 3D to become mainstream before they even hint at the next consoles.

    Maybe E3 2012 will there be word of the next generation.

    PS3 fanboy much.:rolleyes: makes no difference to me as I own all the major consoles released since the mid 1990's.

    Work on Modern Warfare 3 is under way. So what if the team left to form up Respawn. Activision just handed the project over to another team. They have 3 teams all working on CoD games atm. Get your own facts straight buddy.

    Hard drive capacity is trivial and not the be and end all. 40Gb is more than enough on any console for the time being.

    I'm talking about true specs, CPUs, GPUs, PPUs, GDDR5 RAM etc. Not hard drives that can be upgrade in 2mins.

    The Xbox has full stops. Win.


    DeV.

    While Microsoft have said they're 'treating' Natal the same way they'd treat a new console launch, it's not a successor. It'll add 2 years onto the consoles lifespan,certainly, but it's in no way the next xbox. There's plenty of games coming to the xbox and those three you listed were announced LAST YEAR. You do know there's going to be more announcements this year?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,532 ✭✭✭WolfForager


    Wish to god there was an age restriction on boards.

    Natal is a new periphreal just like the Playstation Move.
    MW3 will happen because Activision are not gonna let a 15+ Mil selling franchise just die because the original developer left.

    And em ye.

    Looks like the 360 is getting a redesign (slimmer, built in WiFi) and Natal has been renamed Kinect.

    Consider that the Xbox was released about 2 years before the PS3, when wifi wasn't as abbundent as it is now, not to mention, the experiments with Blue Lasers were still only experiments back then, not being developed into consoles.

    I remember when people used to buy actual games for their consoles and not complain whether or not it had bull**** like Blu-Ray as standard.
