Predict: The Next Generation Console Tech

[Acert93]

8 looks like the infinity symbol to me... last Xbox you will ever need.

 

[BRiT]

Signs are pointing to the new Xbox being called Xbox 8

Certainly makes sense if they're going for a Windows 8/ Windows Phone 8 / Xbox 8 ecosystem. (Which they should be)

XBox 8 => X8 => Excite.

What are you, British?

Yeah, if I had to lay money at this early stage on the next box name, it'd be Xbox 8.

And XB8 fits their supposed MUST HAVE A EQUAL OR HIGHER NUMBER THAN PLAYSTATION philosophy.

I guess the only caveat is just how much Win 8 will have to do with Xbox. It obviously wont run the OS proper.

I can see Sony just calling the next PS "Playstation" all Apple style. Or PS4.

Xbox 720 sounds too old, because it connotes 720P an old standard. /OT

Xbox 8 = Eighth generation console.

I like Xbox 8 name :smile:

You say that, but if Windows 8 is made to run on ARM, mobile, and tablets, why not on a next-gen console?

 

[SKYSONY]

I bet the 8 is more like a loop icon. Xbox Loop was the name it had when an MS schedule leaked months ago.

 

[Platon]

Could make sense, they go from a circle to a loop...

8 also contains x ...

Last night InsideGamer reliable source from a number of pictures from what is reportedly a Devkit for the new Xbox. The creator of the picture wanted Devkit a forum for selling $ 10,000, which also devkits the current generation of consoles sold. According to our tipster, the seller is therefore not unknown. Besides the fact that he sometimes devkits current generation of consoles sold, the relevant vendor also an initiate in the game world.

So did our source reported that in February all the relevant vendor hand had managed to lay on you Wii specifications. It showed that the game would be about as powerful as the current generation and that there was a possibility for the Wii Fit Balance Board on use. Something at E3 this year clearly emerged.

In other words, the source from which it originated, is seen to be very reliable. And the fact that he has been seizure has managed to impose on such Devkit would mean that the new Xbox is a lot closer than we have hitherto imagined. The images of the Devkit, with the working name of Durango clearly evident, below.

The streaming Matrix background (wtf?) makes me scream "fake", but the fact we're dealing with MS and their constant leaks here makes me think "probably real"

The specs are there if you can read Matrix code. ಠ_ಠ

That small company happens to be one the premiere research labs in the world.

i did not know that , still revenue coming in from such a large project would help them finance more research.

Spawned off the talk of advance cooling technology to the thread named: Advanced cooling technology *spawn.

Very poor fake...

I don't think MS would commission Durango devkits for use in people's (/children's, look at the hand) bedrooms.

Not to mention the fact that it's clearly a PC

Also the very cheap monitor

What children's bedrooms have you seen furnished with an office chair, a glass fronted cabinet, and a filing cabinet? Looks like a female hand in a home office to me.

Edge rumorish thing

Direct Edge Quote/New Rumor: "Outside of the Agni's Philosophy demo, we were told by a developer [who wishes to remain anonymous] that Microsoft's 360 successor will draw upon a "very large" amount of memory, albeit with a hefty amount given over to the console's non-gaming functionality."

Seems more support for 8GB, as well as the 3GB for OS rumor.

Why is the "Devkit" on the floor too?
