“Everything you need to know about the next Xbox” is an article that I wrote for TechRadar.com. It speculates about the potential for a new Xbox (dubbed the Xbox 720) by 2011-2012 and what this next, next-gen console might be like.
Will Microsoft launch its next-gen Xbox in 2011? There have been a couple of articles recently that have speculated on just that. We look at whether the ‘Xbox 720′ will feature a return to Intel chips, the inclusion of a Blu-ray drive, and more storage than you can ever fill.
A PlayStation 4 and potential ‘Xbox 720′ could arrive as early as 2011, estimates Crytek president and CEO Cevat Yerli. Industry analyst Colin Sebastian agrees, suggesting that “the general consensus amongst industry professionals is that a new generation of home consoles will arrive on the market in 2011 or 2012.”
I started out as a writer in the games industry, cutting my editorial teeth on PC Review magazine when it was owned by EMAP. Gaming is the equivalent of a ‘first love’. So while this sort of freelance article is entirely speculative, it references the various ‘Xbox 720′ rumours on the Internet and glues them together with some technology guesswork.
Microsoft and Sony were obviously unavailable for comments on this one.
