Archangel Tyrael Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 According to IGN, the next generation of the Xbox is already being manufactured. According to IGN's source, assembly of the next-generation Xbox hardware started recently at the Austin, Texas branch of a company called Flextronics, the same company that assembles 360 hardware. NEWS: Xbox 720 Ad Spotted In Real Steel According to the report, Flextronics first created a testing group dedicated to comprehensive marketing, software, and hardware tests of the next Xbox. With that finished, Flextronics started building the next generation of Xbox. Microsoft is probably manufacturing development kits, consoles game designers use to develop games. If this turns out to be true, don't think it means that the Xbox 720 (or whatever they end up calling it) will be available soon. Microsoft has already said it's not showing a new console at E3 2012, so it might be a while until we even hear anything about it. Neither Microsoft and Flextronic commented on the rumors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazmarr Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 They may be making, but it coudl only be a test product, sent out to a handful of people, those in the idustry of games design, to be able to make and test the games. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Shadowz Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 It's probably just the first stages...it will be a while before we even see anything resembling the final console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrometheanSigma Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 It is rumored they have started the development of these, but I don't think they've actually made any yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighungry2x Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Very cool thread. And I definitely believe that they are making next-gen xboxs. I also believe that they will be released in the near future. I cannot wait to see what it can do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I am honestly not that surprised, they would have had to start development sometime. The only thing that could shock me is when they let us see the console, a new logo, or something that resembles it. Until then, we will have to wait!
