Rumors..about a new XB are coming and going since at least 2 years..i see them from time to time on various gameing sites i visit. Today i saw another one at Kotaku though which seemed realistic to me and i thought it would also be interesting what you people here think about it.Here the article:QuoteIndustrial Designer Dates New Xbox For 2015Click here to find out more!Brian Ashcraft — Industrial Designer Dates New Xbox For 2015 The online portfolio of industrial designer Ben Peterson lists all sorts of projects he's worked on or is working. One of those is apparently the next Xbox.In the past, Peterson's work, like this concept "magnify" or electric kettle, made waves online. But an entry posted just yesterday in his online portfolio is bound to make the biggest waves.His portfolio reads: Microsoft Xbox: Confidential / Collaboration with Microsoft's IEB Design group investigating future user experiences and hardware for 2015. *Work samples only permissible in persons.* (March 2011)Website ZDNet believes that the March 2011 dating means that the project has just got underway. By 2015, the Xbox 360 would be ten years old, making it an ideal time for a new consoles. However, it is unconfirmed whether Ben Peterson is involved or not in the next Xbox.Microsoft, and all electronics companies, are always working on new machines. What form they take if and when they make it to the market is another issue altogether.Kotaku is following up with Microsoft and will update this story should the company comment.What do you think when a new xb will be released?In my own opinion it should be 2015 or later. Microsoft should first build up some new IP`s for their System which would be successful trademarks for their next console as well. This year i saw nothing spectacular and exclusive yet for the XB..the console gets Gears of War 3..but what beside that title? Am i just misonformed or are there really no exclusive platformer, racing games, fighting games, RPG`s coming for the XB this year or are they just not announced yet?
I hope they find a way to fix how much energy their consumes. My electric bill went up $40 because of my 360.
But um...yeah. A new xb console would be lovely.The baby boomers 360s are getting old and are needing more maintenance and support to live independantly work.On the topic of console exclusives; there hasn't been a single console exclusive release for 360 or PS3 that has piqued my interests in many years. Most important games release for everyone.Game exclusivity isn't the driving force that it was in the PS1 era. It certainly doesn't sell consoles anymore.
Kinect was released last year, so I don't see they releasing a new XBOX until 2013, to make the most use of the Kinect plataform.Funny, though, as I expect the Wii successor around that time too.
Titiln said, March 22, 2011, 03:50:18 pmi have the kinect actually and it's pretty funIts alright, I'll give Microsoft that.I think the worse Kinect game out there has to be Fighter's Uncaged. "He blocked my right jab."
Actually, I'd go as far as to say ^ is the closest to reality. So much untapped potential yet to be discovered with Kinect.
Hopefully someone will let me know when it involves more than petting imaginary tigers and playing table tennis with your hands.

I clicked never cause i hate Bill Gates... besides Play Station brings more imports to the table than Xbox does...
QuoteGame exclusivity isn't the driving force that it was in the PS1 era. It certainly doesn't sell consoles anymore.Of course it still does. 360 and PS3 have a lot of the same games, but generally what makes someone go one way or another is what they can get on one but not the other.
And for those kinect lovers here is an awesome video...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtube_gdata_player&v=SS7sWY_J5XAAnd the list goes on... shit reminds me of the Wii I swear...
yeah it reminds me of the wii because stupid people have accidents using either of those productsedit i suppose it reminds me of the ps move too lol
The kinect is just a playstation eyetoy with its stats amped up and some software. If it was the goddamn first model that they were going with that was actually able to capture worth a damn, it would be interesting, as it is, its just eye toy with added software. Even if i think its useless, the playstation move is the only one that combiens both the eyetoy technology with the wii technology, thus granting it more tools for developers to work, the kinect main interest is for making new indie stuff with cheap material that a computer can recognize.
I actually noticed that it has more accidents than the wii has had in the past, and the videos on youtube show a more quantity of accident videos than those of the wii unless they are fake that is... anyways it looks like we will never get a decent game or emulator that truly make us feel like we are inside of a game unless the matrix's head plugged console comes out in retails anytime sooner with real bleeding experience lol... that would probably make less of a problem and also a less pathetic gameplay right?... probably in a 1000 years from now?... oh well...
Iced said, March 23, 2011, 01:50:05 am the kinect main interest is for making new indie stuff with cheap material that a computer can recognize.Basically, overnight shovelware companies? Expect Carnival Games to port its way to the Kinect.
Im talking about companies that are created in an attempt to make a quick buck. For example lets talk about Nintendo who created Wii Sports and Wii Play. Both were very innovative and demonstrated what the Wii was capable of. The titles were successful.Now you have third party developers who try and emulate that success. Carnival Games, Birthday Party Bash, and multiple table tennis clones are a few examples of developers taking whats already made (with no reinnovations, just a new skin) and selling it to the public.With the Xbox Kinect, we have Kinect Adventures, a fun game that is pretty innovative. Watch, and you'll see other developers make reskins of Kinect Adventures.
Were any "serious" "hardcore" games announced by Microsoft this year for the xb360 yet btw?Whats coming beside Gears of War 3 and maybe Shadow Complex 2 ?
Suprised by the number of exclusives for PS3 but soon realized I didn't like any of them.Of course I didn't buy a 360 because I needed Forza Motorsports and Gears of War. (bought it because at the time it was the only console nix Wii that was within the price range of an average human)The only exclusives list that I really looked at was the PC exclusives, which has always kind of had it's own target market.If I didn't have a 360 and hadn't spent money on it, I would probably buy a PS3.I wouldn't advise buying both unless you're just that wealthy and want to PS3 while you 360.I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything important and I hope PS3 users don't (because they're not)My reason for getting a PS3 would be almost solely on it being newer and less likely to catch fire.To be fair, I probably give kinects more crap than it deserves.
I voted never, when they release a 360 and 100% free xbox live, maybe then. As of right now, its fine.On a side note, I hate the kinect. If I wanted to look like an idiot while playing a game I would play the wii. I dont like the direction gaming is going in general so if they did release another console I probably wouldnt bother getting it anyway.
me and my lil bro got 360 since everyone else we know has one and for some games that PS3 does not have.not much into PC gaming :B

K.O.D said, March 23, 2011, 10:16:36 amHere's a handy list, just a few months old (right click -> open image)I feel fucking sorry for the wii seriously, they got to do something, if they don't do anything for the next gen I wount be surprised if nintendo its gone or merged to another company.... I mean Mario and Zelda are getting fucking old... and let's not talk about the stupid pockemons please...
GBK667 said, March 23, 2011, 06:40:48 pmHe is missingYakuza 3+4Gran TurismoMGSLittle Big PlanetmodNationRacersRatchet N ClankKillzoneResistanceDemon SoulsWarhawkTwisted MetalI fortunately don't like any of those franchises save MGS. And I've played pretty much all of the MGS I need.If say Skyrim, Portal2, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Arkham, etc. were console exclusive, then I feel as though it'd be more of a dilemna.
Lord Kain said, March 23, 2011, 07:08:09 pmand let's not talk about the stupid pockemons please...pokemon is irrelevant in consoles, what's your point

lolmechy said, March 23, 2011, 08:37:30 pmfunny how GBK forgot infamous. prettymuch only PS3 game i really care for.you could say i also forgot uncharted..or resistance...or wipeout hd or the upcoming Last Guardian...
I kinda want to try out last guardian. But it would most likely just make me cry like all other team ICO games.

I mean Mario and Zelda are getting fucking old... and let's not talk about the stupid pockemons please...Sorry, but one of the main reasons why people buy a Wii and other Nintendo consoles is so that they could play first party Nintendo games (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc). If the only games on the Wii were Nintendo, I wouldn't have any problems.
although I intentionally bought the Wii for the first party games, there are a lot of third party games I enjoy. WWE All Stars, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Madworld, The Conduit, House of the Dead: Overkill... Thats just the few off the top of my head.I have nothing against third party developers as long as they try and bring something new and innovative to their titles.
