The Next Xbox

Alright now that the PS4 has flooded the internet with it's announcement 3 days ago, I decided to share what I think the next Xbox will offer. First thing is a sensor that will warn you when someone whether family or friend will come to where you are playing and calculate how much time they will take away from your gaming before they enter the room. I think this will prevent more game over screens from happening due to being distracted. Next would be a holographic interfeace with the next Kinect being made. In Minority Report, they have the interface right in front of them and they can search alot easier which makes me hope the next Kinect has this to offer. I know the Xbox has a music player and I think it would be awesome to edit and pick your music and such this way.

The name is what has me worried as a gamer and a consumer since they already did the Xbox Elite. Not to mention an article from a Microsoft employee stating it won't be called the 720 I mean really. The only name I can think of is Xbox 2 or Xbox Pro, no no that won't work. Well whatever name they pick, I'm sure they took the time to do so. The size of the machiine is another thing, I mean can they make it smaller than it is now? I bet they will make look more like an X like the first Xbox did ecept they had the X imprint on the top of the console. An Xbox shaped like an x, sounds unique, but it probably won't be able to hold all that technology and it would make the price go up.

Pricing is the next thing since It's been a year for me having the slim Xbox and to be honest, I really don't feel like buying a new console since I haven't even decided on getting the Wii U. No doubt it will be in the 300-400 dollar range, but maybe they will have it at a lower price for once, who knows. What would be beneficial is a video game disc buffering machine to come along with the Xbox. Be honest, who hasn;t had to buy a used copy of a game and to find it has scrateches!! That really irks me as a gamer that other gamers don't take care of their games. Imagine being able to make a scuffed up game work like brand new when you plug in the machine and your Xbox tells you if it can be saved or not. It would save tme and money from buying the machine at Best Buy when it comes already with the console.

Alright this is what I would want with the next Xbox so it's from a consumer view and what I think what should be in it. Also I wonder how big will the hardrive be for this console? I knnow 350 is the biggest for the Xbox and it makes me wonder if they'll make a 450 gb hardrive. That would be helpful and it will make people buy more Xboxes, but hey I could be wrong. If you're going to leave a negative comment, then don't for I will keep blogging and those who leave negative comments are jerks!!

MS/Sony, it really doesn't matter to me.  I'm not sure I'm investing in the next generation.  I already have a PC more powerful than either of these two future devices.  I'm not interested in the DRM Sony is proposing (allowing publishers to block used games and monitoring loading times for piracy).  Sony's controller is inferior to MS controller and Kinect is better than Move (though I don't see any reason to own Kinect/Move).  MS is rumored to require a constant on-line connection to combat used games/piracy...bah, don't need or want that.  I'm tired of companies treating me like a criminal.

I'll buy a new Xbox if they:  1)  Provide backwards compatibility, 2)  Don't required a constant internet connections, 3) Don't block used games. Otherwise why should I upgrade to the next generation?  MS almost no first party exclusives (GoW and Halo don't do it for me).  Sony has alot more exclusives, so if I were to buy a console and hassle with restrictive DRM, I might as well go with Sony.

I don't understand backwards compatibility and why it's not being included.  I can play PC games from the dawn of time on Windows.  Yeah, maybe it requires some additional hardware to emulate it properly...but you can sell differently tiered units.  Is it worth it to pay $100, $150 more to have backwards compatibility?  I think so, and if you didn't, save your money and get the cheaper system.  If/when the sales drop to unacceptable levels for the backwards compatible units, discontinue them.  (Note:  Since the current generation consoles sell for $100-$200, it would be an epic failure for MS/Sony to charge more for backwards compatibility).

I honestly think Microsoft will struggle to top Sony as far as announcements, Microsoft has always sucked at conf or announcements, and with the lack of first party support i have a hard time believing microsoft will come out with any big name exclusives to launch with the system while right now there is at leased 2 hitting PS4 day 1.  And considering PS4 is going the simple hardware route i dont see microsoft having the 3rd party edge over sony due to easier develope.  So as i see it now, Microsoft will announce a similar speced product with kinect 2.0 and they will prob waste there time showing how cool the kinect is.  They might announce halo 5 but doubtful it will be a launch title but over all but who knows.  As of right now i am not all that impressed with next gen as the graphics do look better its nothing mind blowing unless you have been sheltered your whole life and next seen a decent computer.

@stealthyninja81 i actually wrote an article about how new games are just another disappointing sequel and a total cash grab 

i hope that gamespot will pick those articles who actually try to show the people how shit games are lately, and why most sequels are not as good as the previous games 

you're welcome to read if gamespot staff chose it

who cares about which console has the best exclusives that's why you get both and a gaming pc to play all the good games. if its on pc i get  that hate running games on consoles at 30fps or less 60 is the sweet spot. But if i buy a multi platform games for the console i always go xbox they usually run better and ive never really like the ps controller hate the thumb-sticks and rear trigger. I bought the ps3 for uncharted one of my fav. series and im thinking of getting ni no kuni but ive never liked jap rpg's but i want to try it, im more into fallout,skyrim,dragon age you get it. cant wait for the new consoles i hate people saying the ps4 specs suck look what they have now and games still look pretty good they can optimize the hell out of a consoles power they don't need as much as a pc, plus you think a pc with ps3 or xbox spec could run crysis 3 or any new game.

xbox needs to ditch the "system for everything" approach and get to it as a "gaming" machine.  Games is where its at and what we do w it.  This is their chance to get a leg up right away...day 1 games like destiny a new killer instinct and of course some form of racing game will get it rolling.  we'll see

Xbox has no good exclusives so that is something on Sony's side also the fact that they are focusing on gamers unlike Microsoft who only wants the " casual " gamers.

@holtrocks Gears of War 3 has more replay-ability and fun factor than any PS3 exclusive, the 360 also has the Halo, Forza and Fable series'.  The Witcher 2, I know it is a PC game but, the 360 got it and the PS3 didn't, not really an 'exclusive' but it is an amazing title the 360 has over the PS3.  Not to mention the advantage the 360 has on multi-platform titles such as Skyrim, which was a pretty terrible experience on PS3 from what I've read.

Ohh  Skyrim. Yeah out of all the ports of games I have ever seen, Skyrim was by FAR the worst for the PS3. I finally ended up trading in my PS3 copy and getting the game for PC.  The fable series has seriously went downhill however and I find less and less people intrigued by it. Forza.....Forza?! who cares about Forza other than a few peeps over there. Ill give ya Halo and Gears though.

@holtrocks Halo, Gears of War and Forza are all great exclusives not to mention exclusive rights to Call Of Duty and Skyrim DLC a month before any other platform..

@ceromaster @holtrocks PlayStation has a great amount of 'good' exclusives, they have the God of War Series (one of the best hack and slash action games I have ever played), The Uncharted Series is another excellent game with stunning moments and great game play not to mention an addictive online. Some series such as Little Big Planet are not taken as seriously as they should be, I'd say again an excellent game in itself. Twisted Metal is a great car combat game I enjoyed it most playing split screen with my mates. Infamous is a great open world game to cause chaos in. Tokyo Jungle is also a hell of a lot of fun and I would call it good despite the average reviews.

Other games include Resistance, Killzone, Modnation Racers, Heavenly Sword, Disgaea 4 none of which I have played but are all meant to be great.

The list probably goes on but I cannot be bothered to write any more, anybody else want to add to the numbers?

I think I have answered your question with that one and that's only the PS3 exclusives, I could go on about Crash Bandicoot and the other greats but nobody want's to read an essay.

Halo became, been there done that, years ago. I own the xbox and played all Halo's and with each Halo it get's more boring, why Bungie has past it on... same with gears, new one look's like they slapt it together because of the ps exclusive's on the way. I liked gear 2 and Halo Reach was ok, but Xbox doesn't compare with PS exclusive's.

Uncharted 2, MGS4, GoW owns any exclusive on xbox in my eye's.

Not brain-washed, just happy with what we have. I agree Xbox needs more exclusives, but exclusives themselves don't make the console, it's about the general experience. That's something the PS-users fail to understand.

And if I recall..it's 343 who are head over the Halo-series now?

@vatorus @sagejonathan @Swithers147 @ceromaster @holtrocks Either you're ignorant in thinking that Halo and Gears of War are worth more than all those or you're just plain stupid. I did forget a few great titles, Heavy Rain almost had me in tears possibly the best game I have ever played.

Journey, the Unfinished Swan, Sly Racoon and Ratchet and Clank are all meant to be brilliant too.

Man you Xbox users are brainwashed into thinking you have variety but you are definitely missing out.

Not to mention recently Bungie have agreed to be working with Sony in bringing Destiny to the PS4, those are the creators of Halo, so who knows maybe the next Halo won't be exclusive to Xbox.

@sagejonathan @Swithers147 @ceromaster @holtrocks Halo and Gears alone are worth more than all the PS exclusives put together, so that's really all we need to mention.  Halo 4 outdid COD, 220 million on day one on 1 console, COD sells on 3 consoles, so would have to sell 660 million on day one, which it didn't.

@sextourist Can you count them as exclusives then they're mostly also on PC?  Not all of them of course, but at what point does a franchise become exclusive, given that the sum of its parts may or may not be?

GunnyHath
GunnyHath ranger

@sextourist"They are still exclusive to microsoft based machines. A game that you can get on the vita doesnt make it selling out to another platform just because its also on the ps3."  If I misunderstood your grammatical .. choices, I apologize.  The confusion here is there are two discussions, "What is a platform?" "What constitutes platform exclusivity?".  You are contradicting yourself by saying a Vita game is not on another platform if it is on PS3 as well; Then saying they are different machines and different platforms (which they are).  Microsoft is able to release games across it's multiple platforms due to licensing agreements, which is fine, but again the confusion is were we discussing licensing agreements or platforms?  Is an exclusive, exclusive to a platform, or to a company across multiple platforms (which would depend on licensing)?  It's all a bit chicken and egg.  My original comment makes sense if you consider the Xbox and PC different platforms, and exclusive to each other. The whole debate is simply "Where do you draw the line?".

@GunnyHath @sextourist Sly Cooper: A Thieves in Time is on PS3 and Vita. So by your logic it isn't an exclusive game. Same goes with PS All Stars.

GunnyHath
GunnyHath ranger

@sextourist" A game that you can get on the vita doesnt make it selling out to another platform just because its also on the ps3."   The implication being that the Vita and PS3 are the same platform, because they're both owned by Sony.  By that logic, Windows 3.1 through 8 are all the same platform, because they're Microsoft products.  And is a PC not a PC if it's running Linux?
