Xbox 360 has Reached the Limit says Analyst

4.5
Jesse Divnich, Vice President of gaming research and analyst company, EEDAR, has spoken a bit about when the next generation of consoles will finally come about.

“I have it in my estimates, I think 2013, I think we see a new console in 2013,” he said in an interview with IGN , adding “I think holiday 2013 is when we the Xbox 720 or whatever they want to call it – maybe the Xbox U or maybe they’ll go Xbox Y – I think they will and I think Sony will follow suit. I think a lot of that has to do with Nintendo and them launching their new system.”

Safe predictions from EEDAR then, but more interesting was Divnich’s reasoning for the new systems. “Developers have reached a limit with what they can do on the Xbox 360. Look at L.A. Noire, it comes on three discs. I think that tells you right then and there that developers have reached the potential of what the Xbox can deliver,” he said.

Have we really seen Microsoft’s box max out? Or do 360 exclusives like Ryse still have more power to push?

XxNovaDragonXx One thing is the price, the Wii U will come out for only a 300 dollar price at the most, if the new xbox system is in the 400's or 500's then most consumers will not be able to buy it, in this economy.
You're and idiot, when the xbox 360 first came out in 2005 it cost 5 or 6 hundred dollars. the new xbox will likely cost 700 or something.

Actually it was 400 and the economy was a lot better back then. More people could afford it. Now, a lot of people don't have jobs and can't afford a new system. So in reality, you're the idiot.

How about for a new console they don't just make a 480P default, barely able to run anything piece of crap and actually make a console for once that can actually stand up to most of the better PC rigs. It would cost a hell of a lot more to make but I think in the long run the money saved making more discs, adding upgrades and charging for a console that runs 720P as a default, and for those who can't use it can revert. Better internal specs that can load a full game without the slightest bit of strain, and of course take the time to fix errors and not just add a flashing light that says "Uh oh you broke it". I can dream I guess...

I feel like this new Xbox will have huge expectations that it just might live up to.

2013/early 2014 seems about right. I just hope they make games from the 360 compatible to play online with the 720 or whatever they call it.
