that's a lie. that was the original xbox prototype, 720 is a myth. The CEO himself admitted it is not in production at all. RENOUNCEDsorry to say this but i dont believe that CEO, he said "Following the next year" When I said in 2 or 3 years, I'm sure there will be a new xbox console out by then, and Dan I don't think there will be a PS4, might have a different name though maybe like PSX for PS Generation hm? Anyway for the CEO, he will launch a new console very soon just not this year maybe in 2012-2013 though.

PSX! that's what they call the original playstation. ironically, ps1 was the second playstation released(It was merely a smaller version of the playstation)
although microsoft ceo's do tend to lie, I don't think they're lying about this one. The xbox 360 is still selling perfectly fine, so why would they need to create a new console? new consoles are only created to increase sales or decrease sales of competition, and since x-box sells more than sony because of affordability and wii because of game selection, I'm pretty sure it'll be a while before they come out with a new system.

Yeah, and the sad part for me is that I won't be able to get those systems until I'm in my last year of college (most likely). If I join the 360 and PS3 crowd right now by purchasing the systems, I'm already so far behind and I'll be atrocious, lol.

Look, the new consoles are created to improve it's graphics, not just for selling. Also the new consoles needs to be updated just like the video games that come out with those consoles. For example when smash brothers' graphics, game play and the characters UPDATED when WII came out. So the video games updates rely on the consoles updates. Not for profit. Microsoft, DOES care about it's player, without the players the company will fall apart. So they will keep updating the consoles, the graphics, the video games AND the enjoyment that you get from playing the game. So I wont be able to believe that lie. CEO must have covered about the display of the new console coming out because they are afraid that the gamers will protest about the new console, for their xbox live. They don't want to lose their precious gold xbox live. Sadly the company wont be able to update over online to improve the graphics thus the new console are required. I'm sure that you will get your free xbox live on the new consoles when it comes out but I don't really care about the multiplayers systems, I rather the soloing systems better for example Call of Duty veteran was very difficult and yet I still enjoy playing it. Yes, I do like to play online with other players. It what makes killing people fun. So that's my opinion of the CEO's lie

You're completely wrong. Sure, they may HAVE a new console already in development. Hell, it could already be finished. But until the potential profit of selling the console outweighs the potential losses of producing the console, it is NOT going to hit the shelves. This is how SMART companies keep from going bankrupt. It's playing the marvelous game known as the economy. And if Microsoft cared about it's customers, then why would the CEO lie to them?

Look, Consoles are used to update games graphics, otherwise we would have shitty graphics right? Microsoft does care about their players or customers, They DID not lie to us. They said "Following the year" which means this year, there wont be a console coming out it may come out in 2011 to 2012 which i completely agree with that, WE aren't ready for a new console to come out. They still have to develop, create, and test the new consoles before they come out BUT before the consoles may come out, They have to create new video games also. Look, notice new games aren't coming out often as Xbox 360 came out. This is because they are creating brand new video games for the brand new consoles. Most of the time, they work on the video games FIRST before the consoles are created. That way they may test the video games graphics to see if it is good, attract the customers. How to do that is the video games, however they require the consoles to be able to control the video games. The video games are created first because they may make the consoles to work according to the video games. How they are played is dependent on the consoles NOT the players. Yes, I have to agree you with the shelves and bankrupt part yes. the reason of that is the players ARE not ready but in 2011 to 2012 I'm sure they will be

ha. I think we've been arguing the same point. although the need to "improve graphics" has nothing to do with console sales. In fact, graphics only improve BECAUSE there are competitors. Think about it. If nintendo had dropped out of the market with the 64, and sony never made the playstation, we might possibly ALL be playing sega consoles right now. With no competition, there is no need for improvement, because your systems and games are the only ones out there. What else would they have to compare it to? And have you ever looked at Microsoft? They did fine long before they introduced the x-box, they'd be perfectly fine without it. It's not necessary at all, it's just MORE money, it's far from what keeps them alive. I don't think we'll see any new consoles until something revolutionary comes along that changes the market entirely. When gameplay CG begins to reach that of movies and the special in-game sequences, that's when I believe we'll have a new system. But as of yet, we're not close enough for that soon of a release. Trust me, I've watched the economic growth and decline of every system since my sega genesis(WITH the 32X upgrade) I've been paying closer attention to this industry than I have to just about anything else. And when have you ever seen a console come out without the competitors releasing a console withing the same fiscal year? It's extremely rare. no, this does not include handhelds. They operate on a separate circuit from the rest of the gaming world. Which leads me to a new idea: Why the HELL hasn't Microsoft designed a portable system yet? there were rumors of one in 06, but have we seen anything about it? nope. Funny thing is, the developers said something about THAT one, too. strange how they say things and then they turn out to NOT be releasing anything new.

Good point, but 64 are still popular though, just dont see them often. I still miss them though. I loved 64's games. Especially one connecting with James Bonds, playing with my brothers on the 64 was fun. Lol anyway, Graphics mostly have to do with the consoles sales, because the better graphics, the more bloodier the game is, More people WILL BUY it. Microsoft likes having more money yes. And about the portable system. I don't really think we need a one from Microsoft, when we have the good games at home already anyway? And to end this debate PS3 SUCKS

see, now you're trying to start a flame war. I'll take the higher ground, and ignore your concluding statement.

Lol Not trying to start a flame war, just ending the damn debate, theres a reason why I hate PS3. Graphics are pretty awesome yes but the games are shitty. Games start the sales. They're too boring i can win them too fast i like a game thats addictive for me. For example. Xbox 360 came out with a new game this year in may Halo Wars. I brought it 3 days after it was released and i still love every minute of building, creating army, killing people with the damn game.

*AHEM* "PS3 SUCKS" that sounds like a flame war-starting comment. and just because YOU can't handle the games, doesn't mean they suck.I personally think halo wars is a cheap starcraft knockoff. In fact, I just hate the halo franchise in general. Everybody plays Halo and guitar hero, and thinks it makes them gamers. But when a real gem of gaming is suggested, such as katamari, it's always the same thing. "This game looks gay." there's more to gaming than guitar hero and FPS. snd try playing Disgaea 3 and telling me it's a short game. the damn thing has a level cap above 9000.

For people that bought the 360 because of the price it doesn't matter anymore. There is now a 120GB PS3 for $300

Uncharted Series, a great reason why PS3 is better. Awesome series!
