  Nothing but rumours so far…. what are we supposed to give thoughts on given we know next to nothing about it

  I'll bet it has used game protection, primarily digital sales, proprietary connections and all manner of things to prevent us cheapasses from gettin the best possible deals. :(

    Gizmodo on Feb 7th said:

    A new Edge report suggests that Microsoft’s next Xbox gaming console, code-named Durango, will require an internet connection to use. It also won’t be able to play used games, Edge says.

    I can understand the need for an internet connection, but preventing you from swapping games with your friends or using pre-owned discs is biggest dick move I've ever seen.

    Dark days are afoot for console gamers. And microsoft is just shooting itself in the foot.

      I agree that it's a bad move.

  Xbox 720 is unlikely to be the name.

  CPU/GPU is known. Not all that great, favours more cores over individual core performance. This might make optimisation harder for some games.

  Will have Blu-Ray.

  Will be able to run most things at 1080 3D, but probably not do 4K.

  Will have very tough competition from android sticks, tablets, phones, piston (steam box).

  Personally I expect it to be only marginally successful, and the last generation of traditional consoles.

  Microsoft Event in April, maybe they'll announce their Next Gen Console
