No new Xbox 720 Ever?

Recently in an interview the head of Microsoft Game Studios mr. Phil Spencer himself claimed there were NO plans for a new generation of Xbox consoles, and that the Xbox 720 was purely rumor... Phil Spencer also stated that the new motion control system soon to be released would INDEFINITELY expand the lifespan of the Xbox console... Which to be honest is impossible, how can anyone state that any console would never need to be updated, now were not saying they are planning the Xbox 720 but certainly they will need to launch a future console someday...

A quote from Phil Spencer

"We instead want consumers and developers to know that we are all going to make a huge return on that original investment in the hardware – the one Microsoft made in building it, the one developers made in making games for it, and the investment consumers made in buying the console. In the current climate that's something people are going to appreciate much more."

With all that said, its illogical to assume they are telling the truth when they say they wont need another console ever, just that they are unwilling to commit to anything now... And remember when a new console is on the way (which is currently unlikely from microsoft) they will still be denying it.

What do you think? Is the xbox 720 on indefinite hold?

XBOX 360 selling 17% more last year than PS3

One of the main reasons why the PS3 hasn’t sold as much as the Xbox360 is mainly because of the economy. How much did Blu-Ray players go for when the PS3 was launched? More than the PS3 I believe. Blu-Ray was just being released to the public. Plus the Cell Processor; how many people knew what it was and what it could do at that time? It was a new technology to the public, with great capabilities. Our economy had a great effect as well. As the economy slumped, people didn’t want to spend as much money on something that was $400 – $500 as apposed to $250 – $300. With that price on hardware, it was hard for Sony to sell. Xbox had it easy, because by that time, everyone had an Xbox. Heck I had an Xbox, and still do…kinda.

Anyways just because the Xbox360 sold more units, or should I say 17% last year, doesn’t make it any better than the PS3 and or the 720 being better than the PS4. There very equal, with each having their ups and downs, pros and cons. I don’t like the Xbox360 interface, but I love the PS3’s. Xbox Live is more reliable than PS3’s online performance. The thing with that is that all Xbox360 games are run on Microsoft Servers, and PS3’s games are run on the servers of the developer who made that game. Then theres the red ring of death error. LOL EPIC FAIL! That has to be the most stupidest thing ever than a high end gaming system overheats and screws up. 33% of all of them! Come on man! Screw that, and then you had to wait 2 weeks to get a “refurbished” xbox? I hear some people have gone through at least 10 of them! I got it the other day, but I fixed it…smacked it with a wrench a few times…lol! I have heard little to no falures with the PS3. Then again both systems have their flaws, and so will the PS4 and the Xbox720, assuming those are the correct names.

It all really boils down to preference. Really guys, their equal. Xbox fanboys need to shut their yaps before I shut em permanently, and same goes for the PS fanboys, equally as annoying. Anyways, theirs my 2 sense, gotta run, criminology test today! Toodles!

Is Sony Playstation 4 going to be Number 1

Is Play Station 4 going to beat XBOX 360?

Rumors are widely spreading that Microsoft is getting ready with the successor of Xbox 360, the Xbox 720. There has been a lot of competition in the consoles market, and Microsoft has decided to fight out with all new launch of their latest console! Sony is working on the PlayStation 4 in response to Microsoft’s launch. Fans of the gaming consoles are eagerly awaiting the launch!

“All singing all dancing!” approach of Sony may often cause a problem to it. One may wonder if they follow their classic ‘Trojan horse’ approach .They are known to bundle their software they wanted to push.Ps2 is a good example for this approach which came out with a DVD and PS3 which came with a blue ray was influential for the fall down of HD-DVD. One could regard this way of Sony to be a mixed success. Many don’t take full advantage of the ps3 and keep it for the sake of games alone. One needs to reap in all functionalities to appreciate this approach of Sony. There are many competitors like DVR’s, Apple TV’s and media centric pc in the market trying to take care of ones digital hub needs. Sony has to squeeze in among its competitors for providing digital solutions.

Wii proves to be a master of all trades and attributes all its success in focusing on a single functionality rather than providing many. The music and movie content of Sony Library and its unique concept of digital hub will again encourage it to follow a similar approach.

A blue-ray is considered as a gap filler between the DVD and the internet downloads. This format has been introduced very recently and before its introduction good HD quality movies were available for download from Apple and Microsoft.Ps3 has helped Blue ray to win the device war ,but lots of complications made it to lose the battle among the consoles and it s cost made Sony the loser. It is better that Sony understands that the future of content distribution is downloads rather than discs!

It has tried a step similar to Apple in removing the floppy disc drive and optical drive in their Mac operating system. DVR fills the gap between the broadcast and on demand service. There has been tremendous growth in the internet area that even sports and new can be watched lively! One may regard iTunes store to have so much future. A full streaming DVR is in near future!

Sony may focus more on providing solutions via internet rather than using DVR’s for its promotional purposes. Taking all these points one may pop up into a conclusion that the Sony’s PS4 may exclude the features of PS4 in it! T here are many more expectations from Sony which includes a faster and wireless device with a 80.211n at least! Best processors like cell processors are expected with a Ati or Nvidia graphic card .Its existing controller is regarded as perfect by the gamers and a similar controller is expected in this PS4!Hope it satisfies all the expectation of the gamers!

Xbox 720PS4 Bypassing Blu-Ray For Holography

Xbox 720PS4 Bypassing Blu-Ray For Holography

Xbox 720/PS4 Go Blu-Ray Holography? Concept 2011 and quickly on the next generation of consoles is already busy on the news chipset. The whole world is interested in how Sony PS4 cope financially, while another group refers to the way the Microsoft of the formats of optical media and impenetrable block Movies Blu-ray content, It is therefore is a cost effective solution for Sony and Microsoft for the efficient and content to holography.

The New York Times recently had an article on a General Electric and team of scientific research and the results of a memory in the middle of the holography. It is not particularly new media, as holography has been known for centuries. But what is new about these findings is that the storage media for holographic optical data from 100 standard DVD.

"This could be the next generation of memory with low cost," said Richard Doherty, analyst at Envisioneering, a company of technological research.

The reason for the light in the form of a code, this time is very expensive and only for the doctors, marketing and research. But in 2011, the team is still the development of mass tourism is Holographic Optical storage media are used as standard.

According to the article "The recent breakthrough of the team, in the laboratory of GE Niskayuna, NY, north of Albany, was 200 times more energy in their deliberations hologram on the lower end of the spectrum of light playback of Blu-ray reflection of the machines.

What does this mean? This means that the holographic optical media can be played back the Blu-Ray, but not only on the Blu-Ray technology. This also means that Sony and Microsoft can optical drives on the current relevance and generation of formats, with the holography, for the highest demands of the new generation for the development of games for Xbox 720 and PlayStation 4th

For those who complained about the price and the equipment for business, we know only that in 2012 the studies show, according to the article: "......... the technology of holographic storage media is less than 10 cents gigabytes - and the decline in the the future. "

Holographic storage media for 2011 should be cheaper per gigabyte of $ 1, to the per gigabyte ratio of Blu-Ray when he was in 2006. I do not know, but nobody really seems to correspond perfectly with the introduction of new consoles suspects in 2011.

It is possible that the PS4 circumvent a Blu-Ray format on a CDM / combo Blu-Ray? And it would be a good step for Microsoft, more so than a player, the Blu-Ray can be  also CDM? Now, only time will tell, but expected for consoles, the use of optical storage media, the storage capacity would be a pang for developers.

Currently, General Electric is in the license for a specific technology and works with partners to further improve the environment in many new technologies and markets.
