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?

Playstation 4 (PS4) vs. Xbox 720

The Playstation and Xbox have been going at it since Microsoft has gotten into the console business, and the next generation of consoles will be no different. The current consumer is not yet ready for the next generation of consoles, but its not too early to start looking at what may be coming, and what should be coming. A lot of crazy rumors have gone around regarding the Playstation 4, we have even help spread many of them (always in the Playstation 4 rumor section), but in reality it is not necessary for Playstation to launch first, and will likely not even be announced until a year after the Xbox 720.

Microsoft was only able to wait four years after the launch of the Xbox before they announced the Xbox 360, while the Playstation 3 was launched 6 years after the Playstation 2. Longer console life means more profitability for the company, and usually better services and products because of it! And the 2 year stretch has nothing on what Sony could get away with now…

The Xbox 720 will likely be necessary within a year or so for Microsoft to continue to keep pace with the Playstation 3 game capabilities, thats just to keep up. Few of the existing Playstation 3 games use all of the possible disk space that the Blu-Ray technology allows, meaning there is a lot of growth available still for the Playstation 3 market… And the longer the Playstation 3 can stay around, the less it will cost developers to utelize and thus more/better games.

With the Xbox 360 sales begining to drop, and current hardware limitations, it is likely that Microsoft will be the next to launch a new console… for now referred to as the Xbox 720. Current assumed plans for the Xbox 360 include price cuts for the coming Christmas sales rush, and possibly again late in the spring.

Xbox launching their next generation console likely 2 or 3 years before Sony even announces the next generation of Playstation, will give Sony the opportunity to live up to the 10 year console lifespan commited to earlier. This type of spread will also give Playstation amazing market share, and more than enough time to make up for all of the money invested into the Playstation 3, which lets admit, the Playstation 3 over delivers in every way the hardware can.

The number of upgrades that can still be added to the Playstation 3, make it unlikely to see a Playstation 4 in the next couple of years, and the only NECESSARY hardware upgrade is something to compete with the Wii motion sensing capabilities… wonder if it will be an upgrade or introduced on the Playstation 4?

In our opinion Playstation 4 will stand head and shoulders above the Xbox 720, and likely have foes we have not even known yet… could Apple be brewing up a system? Xbox or Playstation 4, who do you think will launch first?
