I was watching Attack of the Show yesterday morning and "The Feed" mentioned that Microsoft may debut the Xbox 720 at next year's CES with a possible working demo at E3 and a possible release on Christmas 2012!!! Though earlier mentions on the internet say 2013.
Not that I will be in a rush to buy one. I have an extensive 360 library and these things a very buggy come release time. I might wait a year or two before buying one. But this brings the possibility that Batman 3, MW4, BF4 and all they next sequels for the new games will be 720!!! Read about it here: http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/pos...-2012-release/ or watch it here (it's better, it's got Sara Underwood telling you about it). http://www.g4tv.com/videos/56236/the...erwood-111011/

IMO they should call the next PS3... PS4ever... aka... Playstation Forever. LOL.
I am pretty sure the PS3 will be my last gaming system... I bet for the next generation round of consoles EVERYTHING will be DLC. Like you will only go to the store to buy an empty box with a code... thereby pretty much killing the used game market entirely.

I would be REALLY surprised if the timeline moved that fast.
Christmas 2013 seems FAR more likely. If X-Box 720 (or whatever they end up calling it) were coming by Christmas 2012 we'd already have much more leaked information on it. They just better make damn sure it's backwards-compatible, up to and including DLC. Also: Unlikely the major franchises would jump ship that soon, because it's unlikely a "new" X-Box is going to have the same kind of rapid-growth user base that previous consoles have enjoyed, especially since it'll probably cost more than a 360 costs now. Yeah, there'll always be the early adapters, but they're going to have to come up with something truly revolutionary to get people excited about buying a new console...and like the Wii, they're going to have to do it cheap if they want big sales...which I don't see Microsoft doing. Honestly...my question would be: Why? What can a new game console offer the market that isn't already being covered beyond marginally prettier graphics? Nintendo coming out with a higher-power follow-up to the Wii with stronger third-party support made perfect sense. It actually fills a gap in Nintendo's offerings and shores up some perceived shortcomings of the Wii. Microsoft coming out with a new system does...what? Sure, you can integrate the voice and/or motion controls or whatever, but what about it will be really "new" and get people excited about owning one? Prettier graphics aren't going to be enough, because we're already at a point of diminishing returns on graphics...we're not going to see the kind of graphical leaps we got between, say, PSone and PS2 to PS3. Yes, it'll be better...but not THAT much better short of giving us games where the entire gameplay looks like a fully CGI rendered cutscene (and we're borderline already there with some games).

not entirely, unless it was the xbox infinity, since infinity is the highest number thus making that the best. i mean they could do the xbox infinity +1 but lets be serious it wont be that cool.

this is why i dont buy video game stuff, i have been wanting a ps3 but someone mentioned to me the ps4 is coming out within the next year, so why dump money into a console that will get outdated so soon.
the thing is though when the ps3 came out it retailed for 500 bucks so im going to assume the ps4 will be like 700 bucks and i would never pay that to play video games.
