Xbox 720 reportedly codenamed 'Durango'

4.4
Multiple sources close to the project claim Microsoft's next Xbox console is codenamed Durango, Kotaku is reporting.

Obviously it's a pretty ridiculous name, and not nearly as cool as Katana, which was the Dreamcast's codename, or Revolution, which is was Nintendo was originally calling Wii.
According a quick Wikipedia search 'Durango' is a settlement in Spain; has been attached to Dodge and Ford cars; the pseudonym of the Probe 16 car featured in A Clockwork Orange; a type of a frisbee game; a Mexican football club; a vessel operated by the Mexican Navy; and an 1999 episode in the Hallmark Hall of Fame. Do with that information what you will...

Earlier this month, Xbox World magazine claimed Microsoft will include a Wii U-like touchscreen controller.

Other rumours have suggested the hardware will support Sony's Blu-ray format and may include measures to prevent second-hand games being played.

Actually im sticking to 360 even though i could buy 3 of them when they first come out. I have so many new games and if they keep releasing new games, the new xbox will fail. Especially if they don't play 360 games on it. People just don't want to spend money on a new system when they are still releasing new games for xbox.

Jabberwocky Sounds lame...no appeal.


It's a codename, not the retail name.

Stop f*cking calling it the "Xbox 720" it's not going to be called that. These article titles are so lame and most of these articles are flame bait(example: on article said there aren't as many good xbox games as there are ps3).
