Well, it could be done, but it would restrict quite much what you could do with new version of console. For example 256MB ram vs 1024MB+ ram. Of course you could tailor game to work on both systems with some nice addons(like better resolution/gfx etc.) on new console, but that would need larger medium... or procedural methods for content creation.
Anyway, Halo 3 is already rumored to be in development for X720(As you know, or don't know. :) ).

If they just brought out a new and improved edition rather an entirely new generation like say the X720 it would be better.
Thats quite much what I ment. It would be just like original X360, but with more mem and better GPU.
