VG247 claims that Microsoft is preparing to launch the next Xbox late next year. This move will obviously give Nintendo more than a years head-start, which will undoubtedly please the Kyoto based company. The next Xbox will apparently include a Blu-ray drive, 4-6 core CPU, 2 GPUs, Kinect as standard and net required. Sony is also apparently busy getting their next PlayStation console ready for a late 2013 release date.
Nintendo doesn’t have necessarily one year. Microsoft can release it after E3 13′ in July.
but if nintendo launches after E3 this year that will still be roughly a year but what you say is very true
I disagree with the blu ray drive
Why would you do that?
I have a blueray player sitting under my wii! Consoles should be for games!
Plus it increases costs and therefore the retail price. bad for you and for me ;) unless we have the cash of course
But Xbox is not a console only. It’s a multimedia hub that should play movies go on the internet etc. etc. Bluray is the current Disc based HD movie media, they would be crazy not to include it.
This.
I miss the day when Consoles did one thing and one thing only which was playing Video Games.
I feel stuff like that should be there, but as an optional add-on. Those who are able to pay more should be able to.
Using one less plug socket is nice too.
It’ll be region locked! Just like the PS3 one is for movies. Which for TRUE movie lovers, completely defeats the object.
if it’s region locked who cares it’s main purpose is to play games and it will do that well
Because of the added cost dumbass lol. Also what’s the point in having a BD drive sat there when it could be playing movies? Seeing as how MS are trying to sell everyone on this whole “multi-media” crap.
Personally I too WOULD rather it just played games like WiiU, but IF they’re gonna try & sell me on Blu-ray, I better be able to buy superior U.S. “UNCUT” versions which are also packaged a LOT better.
It also goes without saying it should be region free for games. Too many SHMUPS ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot_'em_up ) both U.S. and EU have been missed out on due to “publishers” region locking- not MS. But forced region-free like PS3 is the way to go on games.
@daniel (edited) :”I have a blu-ray player under my piece of shit wii so that dust dosn’t gather on it. Consoles where ONCE gaming system and now even nintendo has broswer and wii Ugh as a cheap total shit for lazy to stupid for tech. pale wanna be pc console for hipster nostalgia fags but fails on cosmic levels.
plus consoles are more expensive and increase cost=trumph card for nintendo as they mod leftover outdated trash tech. to gain victory over the elite RICH upper class master pc race. I of course am a stupid lazy poor smuck who rather buy things seperate than an all in one machine cuz my fanboyism somehow illogically thinks am saving money while buying trash console specificlly made for playing shovelware,rehase,kidfreandly,broken online outadated ips and crappy take years to have crappy control games like kid icurape.”
There fixed. :D
Bashing Wii just made you look like a fucking imbecile, and robbed you of any point may have just tried to make. #EPICFAIL
^this, thanks anon whoever you are
and for the record I play PC and WII and it will be WII U AND PC.
Bash wii all you want. it was hugely successfuland nintendo are laughing all the way to the bank.
I dont mind if people dont spell properly or txt speak but for the love of god…please proof read.
I would think it will be hard to get the Blu-Ray drives, Sony pretty much holds the patent for them and last generation M-Soft refused to pay the licence fee.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc_Association
Not Sony’s alone.
I stand corrected. Thank You Sir.
i though wikipedo didnt count smh fail sickr u multiple faggot btw ur moms pussycat needs a tan and smell like shit lol easy white sluts
WTF does ANY of this retarded shit even mean. Grow the fuck up.
Nintendo too poor? someone please give this guy/girl a link to their finances which was posted on this very same site…Sony are the ones in worst debt you will find…
Here you go. now you can educate your stupid troll attempt of a brain =) http://mynintendonews.com/2012/03/13/nintendo-has-a-massive-10-5-billion-in-the-bank/#comments
excuse me, are you one of those fags that think that playing call of duty all day makes you a gamer?
They didn’t pay them last generation because they believed in HD DVD, but now that’s dead & Blu Ray is the preferred format of “next-Gen DVD” they will buy that patent. Would be a little surprised if Nintendo didn’t do the same. Then again maybe not…it would just suck for Wii U fans cause it would put the system way behind the technical curve…again. Meh.
I think they already reported a propietary format for Wii U, but I honestly don’t believe half the information I read about a new console until it comes out. On another note, requires kinects (which it comes with) and requires net (which YOU pay for)? Its one thing to include it as an option. Its another to require it. Tall order for those who don’t have internet, especially those over seas.
On another note intirely, I really hope that year head start means something for nintendo. It didn’t work for sega. I miss you sega…. still waiting for dreamcast 2 :(
Nintendo
you’ve finally got a shot
PLZ
don’t mess it up :/
but I still love ya :)
how would they mess up? the Wii sold a crazy amount of units. The libary is a different story but in terms of sales, Wii was hugely successful as will be the 3ds.
It will be harder for the Wii U to achieve the same as the Wii but I am sure they have a way ;) Nintendo always pulls surprises when you least expect them! I love the fact it is backwards compatible so anyone can still buy wii games. unlike the vita… unless you emulate of course…
well, with the surprise release of the Xbox Slim, who ever really can predict when they’ll release what.
I mean, they announced it, and the final sentence of the announcement was “are already on their way to stores around the country”
Thats Different , they are taking about a new console. not a new model of a current one.
If this rumor is true then I don’t know what the world has come to anymore. I still don’t see why so much power is expected. Development costs are going to get higher. See THQ and Sega. Studios have closed this generation like crazy.
The console is going to be sold at a loss which means Microsoft again are forcing their shit into the market because they can and have a lot of money creating a situation which is not healthy in any possible way.
Hope they go with a less drastic hardware jump because this is stupid.
Lol it’s a bit sad but true (if the rumor is true), but all that will eventually happen is that Sony & Microsoft will bow out of the gaming biz due to cost & Nintendo will have to save gaming (again, like they did in the 80’s) from the brink of extinction. The they’ll do battle with a new rival…Apple…
Laugh until it happens kids, Laugh until it happens.
I completely agree, I completely agree 100%!!!
I approve!
Sad but true. Wont be long now…. a year…. maybe two…. Apple TV with games? Something new all together? How about a portable thats compatable with all apple apps, but also has a joystick and a few actual buttons? That would help keep nintendo and the others fresh to compete. Great part about having competition :)
Apple has tried gaming and fail. It is called the Pippin…
Obvious article is obvious.
I hope its false, or Sony and Microsoft are frighten by Nintendo.
Believe what you want.
Wait a minute here. It will have a Blu-Ray drive? What happened to going to a no-disk method of gaming? And secondly, if Microsoft puts in a Blu-Ray, doesn’t that basically put them at the whim of Sony? That seems highly unlikely to me. I am not going to believe anything about these next-gen systems until they are either officially announced at E3, or elsewhere directly by the big 3.
Whichever system goes no-disc, supporting digital distribution, or anti-used game technology will be dead to me. Gamestop makes a killing because a lot of people would never buy a lot of games if it wasn’t for used games. I owned 100 PS3 games because of trade in specials, with no used games I would have only bought Fallout and Red Dead.
Will there be any way to buy one without having to waste my money on a blu-ray player? That’s what almost killed the PS3 before it began.
I don’t really think it killed it.
I used the PS3 Blu-ray player to watch movies in HD, way better value then buying a blue-ray player.
“Almost” killed it he said, and I agree. True, it pulled out, but he is pointing out the danger in highly increased cost.
Problem is… how are they going to release a console a few months after being shown at E3 2013?
Thats because their not showing it this E3.
Shut the Fuck up you stupid tramp
Jeez is this guy trolling or just a psycho?
I just did a naughty smell in the toilet room.
my nan is on fire cos the microwave blew up
METAL IN THE MICROWAVE CAN REALLY FUCK UP YOUR DAY!!
GTFO you fucking IDIOT. Go waste time in the PS3 forums where teens like you are in abundance.
The problem is that their getting too close to becoming computers. Eventually they won’t have game consoles anymore, they’ll be computers you connect to a TV and use a fancy remote to control.
Actually that doesn’t sound too bad, except the focus on games might drop :(
Pingback: [Rumor] Microsoft pondría a la venta su nueva Xbox a finales de 2013
Let’s hope we get to see a preview of what it may look like.
mee peteriuss cant waits to buy this, i loves dah xbox.me also love dah sony move cos dah controls fit snugly up my bum.
LMAO
4-6 Core CPU, 2 GPUs… If this is true the Wii U might be behind again…
Yep. Looks like. We can hope the developers will realize that much power is unnecessary and overkill.
When they develop games, if they can release the same game for xbox, PS4 and WiiU, then the power difference won’t be a problem.
It’s only a problem if developers have to spend time making “watered down” software for WiiU, which hopefully won’t be a problem.
The wii u’s final devkits are said to have a 4 or more core cpu and the gpu is supposed to out perform the nextbox’s gpu anyway. So yah im guessing wii u will be on par or stronger .
Let’s get ready to rumble!
>Blu Ray
>Microsoft
>Using licensed Sony technology
NOPE
I’m not sure about the blu-ray drive, but the GPU rumor states that it has a dual core GPU, not 2 GPUs. It makes a big difference which one they use.
That doesn’t was who doomed the Sega Saturn in the 90’s doubling both the CPU & GPU to make a 2D Console to a 3D one who was very hard to programme.
That would be Risky too
-groan- Next thing you know, there’s gonna be another Video Game Crash because everyone is following Sony’s use of the Blu-ray. Nintendo just likes Video Gaming and not discs. The internet browser was useful, but it was too slow. Wii Shop had lots. Yeah, I really am starting to think that the Video Game Crash of 1983 will be repeated in a year. Or two.
you can only imaging what the ps4 will pack.
We all saw this coming. Sony and MS shat their pants last year when they saw the Wii U, and are quickly trying to counter it. Don’t be suprised if one (or both) of these consoles have a touch screen on the controller like Wii U.
Leave luck to heaven.
Imagine what PS4 will contain. (in my imagination: an onion cutter, a blu-ray 5D, some sause, a slice of God of War 6, Uncharted 0: The baby years, Twisted Metal EXTRA METAL EDITION, a killer baby, a salad, Crash Bandicoot X Uncharted, YOUR MAMA IN A BOX, and a dab of Mortal Kombat: Crapogeddon)
“net required” Why?
It’s funny because there are people who still call the current gen stuff “next gen consoles”, for some reason.
