New Xbox Launch coming Christmas 2013?

4.5
Microsoft is reportedly planning a Christmas 2013 launch for the as yet unannounced Xbox 720.

That's according to respected industry site Develop, which claims that several projects are already underway for the new Microsoft system, including a Fable game at Lionhead internally named 'Fable Next'.

The site says data from multiple "sources across the industry, from processor chip manufacturers to middleware firms", points to an official reveal at E3 2013 followed by a Christmas launch, though early 2014 remains a possibility.

Great idea for the new xbox.
I think xbox is getting bigger and bigger,
Once there's a new xbox it will keep growing.

So, good decision on there part.
I can't wait to see some previews. :)

Only make a new xbox if...

1. Online players die down.
2. Devs stop making games for it
3. Becomes obsolete.

Therefore, the 360 has none of these conditions and won't any time soon because of MW3, BF3, and Gears 3 and many more games. So don't make it unless you willing to drop your income.

What could they possibly do to make a better xbox??

Not less than $350, then Microsoft can kiss it, because I was going to buy a new 360 this Christmas.
720 or not I'm sticking with 360 for 3 more years.

I think they should just keep improving the 360. Rather then make the "720". Although, that onlive type of Xbox was a good idea to me.

jlguy I dont want to have to buy another xbox, xbox is amazing right now it does not need to be improved just update it more

exactly the way I feel. people aren't just going to keep blowing money on unneeded consoles every 5 years

By 2013 it'll be 7-8yrs old. And if you're like most ppl, you've had it for at least five years. Which would've been just a little more than an annual gold membership per year. They need new consoles. Look at BF3, MW3, Black Ops, Gears 3. All of those games had to be downgraded to work on a console. Map size, # of players in a game, graphics.

I'm tired of making sacrifices on my games because I play console and don't have a good PC. ITS TIME FOR AN UPGRADE!


same bro, i'll be getting a good PC by the time the 720 comes out, im done with consoles.
PC is way better you dont have to pay online for your games unless you are playing WoW or renting a Server. You might have to upgrade your Video cards every 3 years but they are like $200.00 for a pretty good one that looks better then xbox and PS3 graphics. The games are sometimes cheaper depending on what game you want. If you spend 60$ to 70$ a year on member ship you can be saving that up for something good. Also PC has better connection to Servers and other stuff. Overall PC is way to go.
BTW i am not a Fanboy of any kind i like all consoles


I am looking for a gaming PC myself. Do you have any recommendations? (Anything but Alienware)
