Mr Biggles Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 while its a rumour, it will PROBABLY be made as microsoft have been discussing it for a long time, and Obviously with the PS4 and the Wii U, there's nothing to stop it from happening.

Absolute Dog Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Below is one of the many accounts I have read regarding the new console. I can link numerous others if needed. There was a OP in the Announcements forum here by RANMAN10 about the new generation XBOX. Xbox 720 Release Date for 2013; Chipset Production Is Revealed By Vincent Funaro , Christian Post Reporter January 25, 2012 @ 9:28 am The Xbox 720 release date is slowly approaching as recent reports revealed that the chipset for the console has been in production since last month. Technology news reports state that Microsoft has been making the chipset for the console that will go into full production by the end of the year. "Recent speculation that the new main system on a chip SoC for the Next Xbox began production is apparently accurate," wrote tech site Fudzilla. "The SoC did indeed start production in late December 2011. Sources tell us that the code name for the chip is Oban, and it is being produced by both IBM and Global Foundries for Microsoft." The report also claims that, "the power behind then next Xbox will be PowerPC CPU that is married to an ATI Southern Islands GPU, or modified 7000 series." The Xbox 720 probably will not ship until early next year if these reports are accurate since full production will not begin until the end of 2012. "The first run of these 32nm Oban chips will be destined for developer consoles, so any hope for a holiday console release in 2012 seems unrealistic according to the site's sources, but an announcement perhaps before the end of the year might be possible," the site continued. "It would seem Microsoft's strategy of getting it in 2013 is all but assured. We do think that the chips will be in production by the end of the year for consoles destined to be sold in 2013, which seems to agree with what some others are saying," wrote Fudzilla. SemiAccurate, another tech site made a similar prediction pertaining to the release of the Xbox 720. It seems that this year will not see the addition of a new console from Microsoft, but at least fans can look forward to some kind of announcement regarding it made by the company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZB-85 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Its a rumor but will most likely happen within the next 2 years. Hopefully sooner though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockGazm Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Why wouldn't both companies make another next gen console, it's better than the previous and will profit a lot more money... possibly. I'm excited to see what the new design on the new xbox will look like, though I wouldn't get it straight away since I know I wouldn't be desperate.

Aztec Asshawk Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Theyd better put blu-ray in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 The next generation of consoles will come, perhaps later than we might hope. Everyone knows Xbox 360 is on the verge of peaking its hardware limit, It's only natural, it's been out for 7 years. Since they denied the fact of a new console announcement at this years E3, I'm hoping for E3 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noahsammy99 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I hope a new console never comes out because it means i have to buy a whole new console just to play halo. I dont want it to be that difficult to play my favorite games and there sequels. Microsoft should just sell mod to make the 360 better like add-ons and downloads to make the 360 better people who just got the kinect with the new model 360 would be mad if a new console came out soon because they spent there money on the 360 when they could have bought a 720. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePsychoEwok Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 It definitely needs to have blu-ray, It needs to be faster too. It better make halo seem amazing. Maybe we will get halo 5 on 720 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General PWNFACE Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 It definitely needs to have blu-ray, It needs to be faster too. It better make halo seem amazing. Maybe we will get halo 5 on 720 Bluray should definitely happen, and if they have a 2014 launch for Xbox 720, or whatever they call it, Halo 5 would definitely be an at launch release for the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaloDigger12 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I DONT WANT THE 720,i will buy it and throw it in the bin,because,1.The Xbox 360 is the best gaming console EVAH 2.People will stop using the Xbox 360, 3.Halo will be bye bye because halos WIFE is the Xbox 360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBotPeaches Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 You know how much the initial repairs cost Microsoft since they rushed the 360? Thats not going to happen this time. There will be months of testing once the console is ready. They spent billions on the 3 year warranty for red rings. They don't want a repeat. Microsoft is smart enough to know that Sony releasing a system means nothing compared to the hype they would have for their new system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Wow.. Microsoft consoles will never have blu ray players in them.. Sony owns blu ray, and Sony (next to Apple) is Microsofts biggest competitor. So blu ray won't happen. And a 720 wouldn't be bad, an upgrade to the 360 would be fantastic, considering the 360 can barely run modern games. If you ever played Battlefield 3, you can hear your 360 is practicly in overdrive. A hardware upgrade is going to be needed for future games.

Twam Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Unless Microsoft just Buys Sony Last year M$ caused lots of controversy when the domains Sony-Microsoft.com and Microsoft-Sony.com had been purchased by Microsoft. Though the domains don't lead to anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperIntendant Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Bluray should definitely happen, and if they have a 2014 launch for Xbox 720, or whatever they call it, Halo 5 would definitely be an at launch release for the system Well, Blu-Ray is a Sony product so good luck. Anyway there isn't any doubt that it will happen, but it's being delayed to all of the casual gaming and Kinect/ Move thing. Consoles are just holding the gaming world back right now since consoles are the main gaming medium and they are around 7 years old right now, if we don't get a new set of consoles soon it's going to be bad for the industry as a whole. Also addressing the people who said they could release an update, if you use some sort of external unit to get more power for a devise that just creates lag for the console to the point where trying to play any game on it is pointless.

Agent Washington Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm glad you posted this, I've been worrying about not having the money in time for a new console, plus alot of friends ask me if it comes for H4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakkoid Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Sony is Microsoft's biggest competitor so, Microsoft would keep catching up with them. Unless Sony and Microsoft worked together to make the best console, the console would probably not need an upgrade for atleast 14 years. But they probably won't ,so Microsoft will continue to catch up with Sony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-2071 Pragmatic Avarice Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Every five years that passes in a consoles lifespan, a rise in next-generation rumors is being noticed. However it usually means nothing, so don't get any hopes up. Hardware Research and Development is always being done extremely early despite existing consoles/handhelds.

thomas benjamin Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 remember.. Bungie is hiring for the PS3 now, (i predicted Bungie would work on PS3 long ago, i was laughed at by many a Halo noob) so if they plan on making a PS3 game then they must know how long the PS3 will be around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
