Microsoft Working on Next Generation of Xbox 360

Posted on Monday, October 10 @ 11:57:41 Eastern by


We already know that both Microsoft and Sony are developing their next-gen consoles, though we don't know many details other than it's happening. Today, Supererogatory on Twitter has revealed several employee positions at Microsoft whose Linkedin profiles curiously show that, yes, this is indeed happening:
  • Jeff Faulkner is the current "Xbox Next Gen Creative Director".
  • Jonathan Harris is the Senior Creative Director for Xbox currently "designing the next generation of entertainment".
  • And Joe Langevin is an "Xbox Hardware Intern at Microsoft" working on "high speed data buses to prevent electromagnetic interference in next-gen devices".
So at this point, the only thing I'm concerned about is when they're going to announce the console. I would say they might reveal some teaser trailer on it at next year's E3 convention before releasing the Xbox 720, or whatever it's called, to the masses the following year (2013).

    I dont see this thing hitting untill 2014 atleast. the 360 and PS3 still have plenty of life left in them. I see 2014 being the cutoff date. and unless both PS4 and XBOX3 are completely backwards compatable, including downloading XBLA and PSN games onto the new systems, I'm keeping my old ones.

    However, this is a huge blow to the Nintendo WiiU. a Console thats ment to be greater than the PS3, yet already off to a rocky start, and not 1 year later acording to the article after release, it'll be completely dead technology. you just know Sony and XBOX are going to use the touchscreen thing, but at a smaller size for their controllers to remain controllers and not ipads. the WiiU is going to choke on older releases and the same underpowered third party shovelware it had to deal with with the Wii.

    Yeah, your right Microsoft and Sony are going to milk as much out of their consoles as possible before they retire them. Plus they have to have a devolvement version of their new console in the hands of developers so they can have release titles, unless they want to pull a Nintendo.
