TechRadar - This is it. Microsoft is going to reveal the new Xbox on May 21.
But just because we know when it's coming doesn't mean we're going to stop speculating about it, and Microsoft blogger Paul Thurrott today revealed on his Windows IT Pro blog decided to share what he "knows" about the 'box also known as "Durango."
Forbes - Sony was smart to get the head start on Microsoft in a next gen console battle that figures to be a two-company race, as Nintendo struggles to build momentum for Wii U. According to Jen Handley, COO and co-creator of Fizziology, PlayStation is currently seeing almost twice as much social chatter as the next gen Xbox. Fizziology tracks feeds from Twitter, Facebook and blogs, as well as additional sources like Tumblr, Disqus and Instagram, to analyze what consumers are saying about video games, technology and other topics.
I cannot wait for the E3, where everything will ( Hopefully ) will be cleared. From Release Date, Specs to the Software prices.
Cannot Wait.
It's been confirmed awhile back games will remain $60. Of course feel free to correct ^_^
Sony confirmed for the Playstation 4 that the price of games would remain at $60, but I haven't read/heard anything about Microsoft on their end. Hopefully, they will stay at $60 as well.
HotHardware: After all the speculation and rumors, in less than a week from now Microsoft will officially unveil its next generation Xbox game console. The Xbox 720 (codenamed Durango), or whatever it ends up being called, will be introduced via a live stream on May 21, 2013 at 10 AM PDT (that's 1 PM for folks on the East coast) on Xbox Live, Xbox.com, and Spike TV, giving you plenty of viewing options, provided you can steal some time away from work.
ARSTechnica: Should single-player games, Blu-ray playback, and live TV viewing be possible on a gaming console with no Internet connection? Most gamers would say "yes," but they have been worried that Microsoft feels differently; the next generation Xbox has been consistently rumored to require a permanent network connection.
IMO, if a console is still entertaining you at the end of its life cycle, then the company is doing something right, and will most likely carry that forward into the next gen.
No point in getting exited for a successor to a console that bores you unless you have concrete proof that its a major improvement. Wait and see what they reveal later this month.
I still play and purchase plenty of games, movies, xbla games, etc., but I suppose I'm just aching for some new hardware with better visuals.
Of course I'm still going to keep my 360 after the 720 comes out, but I think it's been a really long time since I've had a 360 so I suppose I want something new.
That's understandable. I thought you were tired of it because of the lack of first party games. Hopefully the rumors are true and all their games are being held back for the 720. Should be a good launch if it is.
Doesn't need to, theres already 3000 articles like this that have appeared since that Orth guy waffled sh*t on Twatter.
I have a reminder set on Smartphone, Tablet, Laptop & Desktop.
Don't want to miss this,... Really Excited.
If it runs Windows 8, I will ROFL big time.
