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.

It's so hilarious how almost everyone believes the lot of these rumors. Nothing is confirmed yet. I want to believe them, but my experience of other consoles pre-release rumors says that most of these rumors won't come true. To everyones disappointment.

irTiffany Dunno if 720 will be worth my time.
To many counsels.

1. its spelled Consoles and
2. the old consoles are getting more and more out of date with every upcoming update with the new consoles

I like the name of this, Durango it's quite catchy.

We'll just have to wait and see if these speculated rumours are true.

I like that name, but there are cars like the ford Durango, which was to my knowledge a good car.

But i like the name, don't see a problem with it.

Thanks for the story.

Just like "Project Natal" which was the Kinect.
either way, i hope the Touch screen controller is at least Comfortable and having Blu-Ray Compatibility wouldn't be a surprise to me. i just hope all these features are going to benefit the 720 and not make it worse or easier to break...
