LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Everything I Learned About Call of Duty: Ghosts Last Week
I wasn't allowed to talk about the new Infinity Ward game last week when I met with Activision, and I don't have much to say now that Xbox One spilled the beans.

Before Microsoft and Sony do something regarding their future in the video game business, I wanted to write, and I've wanted it for a long time now, but other things kept getting in my way, and fearing that tomorrow might be too late, today will have to do.  ...

Rumor: Xbox 720 in 2012, PS4 Not Far Behind?

Posted on Wednesday, November 16 @ 10:19:26 Eastern by


Sources close to Edge have told the magazine that Ubisoft Montreal, as well as other developers have preliminary hardware based on the "intended specifications of Microsoft's Xbox 360 successor". Genuine dev kits on custom hardware are expected before this Christmas, which points to a 2012 retail release.

This would mean Microsoft would have to have something to show at E3 2012. Their goal, would be to keep the Wii U from gaining any ground in the next generation console war, and again get the jump on Sony.

Then again, Sony may be closer to a PS4 than previously thought. Edge also says that one Sony-owned developer has ceased work on the PS3 completely, and moved on to the successor's hardware.

    As long as releasing them earlier than expected doesn't cause them to be riddle with bugs/hardware problems, I'm happy. I suspect that Microsoft will have learned from their past mistakes, but Sony & Nintendo you may have to watch-out for in this regard. There's already been plenty of articles about the Wii U having serious design problems because it's being rushed. I'll reserve judgement on all of them until the new gen consoles actually come out though.

    Some general advice for all three of them, that I am certain will help them have a glorious console generation.

    Nintendo: Have a Mario Game ready for Launch.
    Microsoft: At least change the "when" to an "if" when it comes to hardware failures.
    Sony: 600$ dollars is too much.

    It's not too soon if they drop prices on all the amazing PS3 and 360 games currently out. When the PS2 came to its end I was buying new and used games in stacks of like 10 for $60-$70. Just keep a list of the good games and when the prices drop JackPot Bitches

    Just don't name it the XBox 720. Thats the worst name for a console I've heard since.... Wii U and Vita....

    In fact, the picture up there would be a better name, the XBox Next. Its still pretty bad, but its better then 720.

    Obviously isn't 2012. That's when Halo 4 launches.

    Unless it's gonna be a multi-platform exclusive.
    Wait, what the hell do you call one of those?

    This makes me wonder about a previous news article about Microsoft making a BluRay addon, much as they did with HDDVD. Does this mean that the new Xbox will be bluray ready?
