| Squilliam said: We will see the next generation when the console company in question believes they have something compelling to offer over the Xbox, PS and Wii of this generation. A lot of it really depends on what technologies and interfaces they choose to use. Its not really about an arbirtrary number. For exampe: An Xbox based on an Intel X86 with Larrabee and Sandybridges (A shrink and generational change over the Core I7) would have to release in 2012 as thats the earliest time for mainstream production, though they might squeeze a 2011 release out though thats unlikely. An Xbox with a similar architecture could be released now. An Xbox using say ultrasonic motion and 3d positioning controls would have to wait for that technology and the software using it to become viable. |
Squilliam, I've noticed you like your tech.
What do you make of the whole forwards compatibility thing that's been mentioned in relation to the next xbox?
