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?

Future of consoles to be released

Are the next gen console PS4 or Xbox 3 really coming soon?
In this age of gaming wars where companies fight for the supremacy of the gaming industry, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft have been competing. These companies have been trying hard to woo the consumers with variety of features. In addition, most of all the age of integration has come now with adding of more than one device into the other. Gadgets are made such that they perform works of other gadgets too.
For example the PlayStation 3 which is a gaming rig and a technology marvel is made for killer graphics and excellent performance. Apart from that, a blu ray drive is integrated into it so that it can be used as a blu ray player eliminating the need to buy a standalone blu ray drive. A 160 gb hard disk is also added in the drive so that one can save photos , videos, songs and others. In Wii, you have card reader so that one can connect media to the console and use it as a media player. Xbox console is the best ever online gaming device now with millions and millions of people using it for online gaming.
Millions of dollars have been diverted to the research and development of these devices over the past years where each company tried to outcast the other by improving their consoles. The playstation updated to playstation two and later on to playstation three. Xbox released a normal Xbox and then upgraded to Xbox 360. Like this the fight among these companies have brought to the best of gaming devices available now .
But since they made a trend of bring up newer consoles now and then , everyone is looking forward for a Xbox 3 and the PS4 . Though these are good enough for now, the rumors of next generation of consoles under development are creating raves.
Considering the amount of money spent on the development of these consoles the companies would not want to release out a new one they still did not capitalize much on it yet. and also this will cause a heavy pressure from the software manufacturers as all that they made for these consoles will be obsolete if a newer console comes up . so possibility of releasing a newer version of these consoles until 2012 -2013 is very meek .
Why should they release a new console when the rigs they made are good enough for some more year from now and it’s a strongly wise decision to stick to it. But then again if someone else dares to launch a new console sooner they can capitalize on that initially but sooner and later due to the completion others will also have to follow and release newer model but eventually it’s the consumer who will be happy with such kind of move than the companies.
So finally it is clear that there is as such no need to release newer models but they will certainly delay the release as long as possible . However, someone will blink first in between for sure!!

No new Playstation or Xbox till 2013

No New Console Cycle Before 2013
We play in the last days? The declining hours? The terminal of ticks in some disturbing cautionary, the trends of the technology watch? Is it that all experts prognosticating breathing on Xbox 720 and PlayStation 4 is happy just leading blind? These are the days of the console cycle and the turbulent SDK will be updated at the evanescence?

Analyst Michael lessees of Wedbush Morgan has at least the spirit of this question in its May 2009 monthly summary of gaming. Moreover, said he expects the next generation of consoles until 2013 to reach. Cue spooky organ break followed in a troubling "not."

Shaking his finger for the investors that "we are convinced that the growth of the industry with a view to 2009" said fiddlesticks tenants, using the concept of the games are still selling the software displays on the console for the fourth year in a d 'cycle "Urban Legend".

We note that sales of video game software is usually achieved in the years before the introduction of a new generation of consoles, how much to brake, the purchases of consumers in respect of the purchase of a new console next year. We do not expect a "new" console, 2010 (other than long-rumored Wii HD, it is likely that the update of the Wii console in the technology). We expect the "Next" to the production by 2013 in any case.

Here's why.
1. Today, consoles are the future angle multimedia centers. USB? Check. Wireless? Check. HDTV? Check. Streaming video? Check. Flash expandable devices and scalable? Check and check. I would not say that the future of the evidence, but flexible enough to go to the short term, the technological changes easily.

2. I don’t think if the games look better every time you do it now, Really It is one of the few games I "Boy, that could have done that the Mip-mapped alpha-blended blow assigned monstersaurus better." And unless some nebbish, cave dwellings, pixel-obsessed, active forum troll graphics, probably no longer care for all young people whizbangdroolinducingeyecandy also nonsense. Visual Style? Fairplay. But this is a completely different 3D objects monomania.

3. Who bleed money? Driving thousands of people to improve your TV (or to purchase one new) for the next anchor picture, such as S-HDTV? Purchase of new equipment boxes, accessories and equipment, many more plans for more security and speed of broadband and the cost of online service, Extension of the current console and cut the paper instead of Ye Olde blood exsanguinations.

4. Do not forget to rare Donkey Kong Country for Super Nintendo? More or less revolutionary for its time, was it not? Then came the Nintendo 64, the developer of weapons, put her back in March and outside of the Earth in 3D. The point is that the engineer of “domain” is a kind of evolutionary advantage. How many games can DKC size of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have to offer one to three years to develop?

So per this set of examples the Sony PS4 is not expected till 2013
