Designers Envisions The Next Xbox

Posted on Tuesday, November 29 @ 10:19:55 Eastern by


Forgoing the usual "Xbox 720" moniker, architecture designer Joseph Dumary has envisioned the future of the Xbox console with the self-dubbed Xbox Prestige.

Curvier and slimmer than even the Xbox 360 Slim, he imagines a KinectIN feature that utilizes two cameras buitly into the console as well as integrated voice recogniition for a hands-free gaming powerhouse (that will piss off people who already purchased a Kinect). This will also allow gamers to scan a game's chip or tag to initialize play off the "Microsoft Xbox Cloud or from the the internal 2TB hard drive".


If that weren't enough, the Xbox Prestige has an 8-core processor for speeds "up to 20 times faster than previous Xbox models", "supports 3D, 4K2K, multiTV (DPConnect), live TV, and webcam, as well as GPS that allows users to view the location of any other user on an active map".

I don't think that last feature is a good idea at all with the potential lawsuits alone. The 2TB hard drive is a bit farfetched, and even if it comes to be true, it will likely be an optional add-on for hundreds of dollars. It also suggests the sudden departure of media discs, which I don't see going away for at least five years, as well as the creation of the Microsoft Xbox Cloud, which may be too soon to realize just yet.

In other words, this Xbox Prestige will make the actual next Xbox 360 look like child's play.

    Activision would sue for using the word "Prestige", unless you bought a new Xbox every year while upgrading the systems 10-14 times per year. You then would access to pointless gamertag emblems and titles that only solitify your time spent ignoring your loved ones and jerking it to fat hillbilly porn.

    There should be a carbon fiber edition for racing fans.

    2TB doesn't cost that much.

    Anyways, it sounds pretty cool. I like the scanning thing, it's probably the easiest way to fight piracy/used games. Scan it, the code or whatever no longer works.

    When the day comes that game companies stop selling hard copies of games will be the day I find a new hobby.

    Same here. Sadly, that's the way things seem to be heading. PS5, XBox 1080 and Wii Z will probably use some sort of cloud based gaming scheme and just eliminate physical games.

    Kinect built into the console? That would be retarded. Instead of mounting some plastic crap on my TV I have have to nail the god damn console to the wall because my TV is wall mounted.
