New Xbox coming sooner then expected?

the bit i find strange is the 360 came out 2005 and the new one will be 2012, that is a heck of a life span for a console. wonder if it has just been the way it played out or that was always the plan

When you buy Halo ODST you get automatically entered into the Halo Reach beta, so that must be coming out on the 360.

Yes you may automatically be entered into the Halo Reach Beta, but you may have to buy the next xbox to participate* ;)


*I think it will be a 360 game tbh, bungie are trying to make the most out of the Halo3 engine and the fan base to increase their wealth/recuperate the Dev costs.
 
I dont understand what people have against the 6 cores being more powerful than 3 cores quote, It would equal the overly powerful, dominating, Godly, Magnificent, Really really cool PS3 then would it not?

Because MS will make a CPU that makes the core look like a 386 by comparison.

Edit: Suppose I should put in a smiley ;). There done
 
the big word in these posts of a new xbox is "rumours "
and thats it nothing more
they make me laugh, most sites do this to get there url past around the net
its just to get more people looking at there sites
 
Although these 'rumours' are just that, I would not be suprised if Microsoft refresh the Xbox 360 with some form of 'beefed up' hardware. At the very least a 'redesigned' Xbox 360 must be likely.

The suggestion of staying with a DVD drive, isn't as stupid as some people make out either. If Microsoft were to do something 100% coompatability and more importanly keeping costs to a minimum, would be the drivers here.
 
I hear the next chipset "Valhalla" = gfx+cpu on same board, so Xbox slim is quite likely.

I for one would like one, not for it being smaller but just overall quieter, cooler, more reliable. Maybe even black aswell cuz this white one is beginning to look a bit garish
 
When was the new console expected, if the 360 can still push out games like Ghostbusters better than the lead console, MS will be sitting pretty.

I am loving the 09 360 release even 10 so 11 will be perfect for a new console, at the end of the day the new MS console only needs to come out when Sony are kicking ass and I cant see them doing that this year. Plus when you can buy a 360 for £100 or a PS3 for £280 it would be stupid to bring out a whole new console.
 
I doubt the next Microsoft console will even use an IBM based processor to be honest, aside from the extremely high end server stuff, and Cell (which they almost certainly wouldn't use because of its connections with Sony), their PowerPC based cores are out of date compared to modern CPUs from Intel and AMD. Actually I could imagine them getting Intel to make them a custom core with a couple of standard X86 cores and say 16 Larrabee style cores.

Also, RAM amounts in console generations are typically huge increases, much more than double as suggested in this article. The 360 for example has 512MB, the Xbox before it had 64MB (both systems have a shared memory subsystem). That's eight times as much. Given the price of RAM these days, I dare say 4GB is a very likely figure for the next Xbox.
