We've surely all heard the news that a successor for our much-loved console is being made, but what d y'all think about it? Are we ready to part with our 360's?

I'm not convinced by the rumours. It's been less than a year since Kinect came out and it would be foolish for Microsoft to announce a new console at E3 this year. I still think there is life in the 360 and since I've only had mine for 2 years, I hope that it'll be a while yet before we see the '720'.

I am excited about this..... but a little peeved at the same time. I do not want to have to fork out another £400 -.- but then It can only mean bigger and better games. So lets see what happens @ E3 (like I said on the Podcast last week) Don't hold your breath XD

When i had the playstation i thought the ps2 wouldnt change much...till it came out and i played it.

Now i got the 360 i dont think a new one will change much..thoguh im sure im gonna be wrong and buy it.


What kind of new features do you reckon it will bring or be set up for?

3D gaming?
More focused on Kinect?
Aimed at beating the new playstation in sheer power?
blueray?
toaster in built?
voice activation in built?
will turn into a robot if you shout "transformer"?

the possibilities are endless.

I pray, for the reputation of Microsoft that it is NOT more focused on Kinect!!

I don't particularly believe these rumours. New console; massive initial outlay for MS, increased developments costs for, umm, developers and to end up with what? Would we see anything other than a platform on which the visuals are maybe 30% better? I don't see what meaningful advancements would come in a new generation of console at this time.

I think they should give it a couple more years to work on something new, though I don't know how much more there is left to discover!

Maybe a games console where you actually feel pain when you get shot? :P

I'm sure thats already been done, like a jacket you wear and it gives you an electric shock when you are hit XD. I would rather wait a few years and have something directly inserted into my brain :P true VR

I don't think we'll see the new MS or Sony console for at least another 3 years or so. Since MS have just very recently shelled out $8 billion (yes with a 'b') for Skype, we could see better voice / chat using the kinect soonish anyway.

E3 2015 we will see a Successor that will launch in November 2015 ... The only console you'll see launch before that is WiiHD this year ...

Mark my words :D

Yeah, I can't see them actually bringing their console out until they actually have some substantial upgrades to put in it! :)
