It's Official: Microsoft Already Working on Xbox 3 Oct 17, 2006 @ 2:24pm Summary: 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. Full Text: The 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. Lewis is surprisingly direct about Microsoft's plans for a next-gen console. "The consumer won't let you [rest on your laurels], the developers certainly won't let us. So that's happening right now," he said. "You'll see more [on a new Xbox] over time...certainly we're not talking about the next version yet," Lewis told Kikizo, "so give us a chance to catch a breath, will you?" |
Possible Re-design new version XBOX360 instead XBOX720. I surely don't like the current XBOX 360 & look forward for re-design version w/ upgrade.

This shouldnt be a suprise, technology never stops. All game consoles have been developed like this.
|
Speaking of the redesign for the 360, when can we expect it? Or is it still a bit off to ask that question?
|
I think this is common for most console companies. They get one console out the door and it's time to start getting ready for the next one. It takes a while to develop these things...
|
console cycle is 5 years, not a big deal to start planning the next gen console at this stage. a lot of work is involved in making a console

I remember reading an article showcasing Bill Gates and the X-Box team a few years ago, and being surprised at how long they said there were working on the X360. There seems to be very little breathing room for companies getting one console out the door, before working on the next thing. Especially since the original X-Box didn't go through any re-designs that I'm aware of.

"If Sony gets its wish(10 year console span) we are looking at a 2086 release. On the opposite side of the coin, with Microsoft's 4 year life span, the X-box 10 should be out around 2033."
If you were going to make a post based on these ridiculous longevity numbers, the least you could do is not go 0-for-2 on the math. :) |

Guys, you have to remember a couple of things when we're talking about life cycles:
Nintendo usually releases their consoles near the very end. They do it because they want a lot of good technology for cheap and waiting another year until producting keeps them nice and profitable. The original Xbox came out very late. The previous gen started with the Dreamcast (Sega launches early). The PS2 was out a year later. That's when the Xbox should've been out. Not with the Gamecube. The Xbox 360 came out "on time" five years after the last gen started. Nintendo, as usual, launched late. The thing is, this time Sony launched late. The PS3 originally was supposed to be out in 2005 but that became impossible when BD was tacked in. Console life cycles are five years. It was five years between the SNES-N64-Gamecube-Wii. It was five years between PS1-PS2. The PS3 and the Xbox were anomalies. |
10 years...
PS3: 2006 PS4: 2016 PS5: 2026 PS6: 2036 PS7: 2046 PS8: 2056 PS9: 2066 PS10: 2076 4 years... Xbox 360: 2005 Xbox 3: 2009 Xbox 4: 2013 Xbox5: 2017 Xbox6: 2021 Xbox7: 2025 Xbox8: 2029 Xbox9: 2033 Xbox10: 2037 |
:lol: Wow I did screw that up somehow.
At anyrate, there is one thing you can bank on. In 2076 with the PS10 you will still be using some iteration of the Dual Shock. |

Just because the PS3 has a lifespan of 10 years doesn't mean the PS4 will be out 10 years after the PS3 release. They're saying the PS2 won't be dead after the PS3 hits. You should expect the PS4 in 6 years, 7 at the outside, I would think.

I was just at a Gamestop and the clerk told me they'll be taking preorders for it in the spring and that you'll only need 250.00 as a deposit. ;)

I'd pay $100 max. It's complete bullshit that the PS2 still pulls that kind of cash for a system that's 6 years old. Looks cool though.
|
I figured they do a white one to match their white PSP.
