For Microsoft's next console I want...

-It to be reliable

-Full backwards compatability with 360 games

-The ability to access all things bought on xbox live for your 360

-Keep the ability to install games to your harddrive

-Keep achievements/Rewards (Continue adding to your prievious achievements)

-Graphics greater than or equal to crysis's graphics on PC

-Blue Ray

-No more than 500 dallars

-It to have atleast 80 Gigs

And I will only buy the next 360 if there are 4-6 games I really want to play.

Post what it would take you to get the Next box?

Well I dont want it to be heavily centered on kinect.

Super reliable from launch

Backwards compatible with 360 and Xbox titles

Powerful enough to run games at 1080p and 60 frames per second without breaking a sweat

Good launch lineup

Better 1st party games

Let's see:

• Free MP gaming. MS can keep the fees but I don't want to pay to play with my friends and for a feature I should be getting for free (probably, as in almost certainly, not going to happen)
• Related to above, more dedicated servers in games (probably happen to some degree e.g. Gears 3)
• Backwards compatible with 360 games and X-box1 library available to download
• 320Gb HDD minimum
• A new upgraded version of Kinect with every console so all games can make use of it, even if only for certain gesture control
• All titles available to download on Live as well as retail (probably Blu Ray) and tied to your Live account
• No more than £300
• More freedom for user generated content and mods online
• Reliable and quiet hardware
• A good launch library with some new IPs as well as old faves such as Gears and Fable.

Pretty much exactly as you say. Mainly however is if its backward compatable from launch and there are a few games i really want.

And gamerscore carries over.

- Kinect only (no more gamepads)

I have supported MS since the original xbox so its kinda hard to say this..but as of now I think I wont be getting the next box, Its not that I havent enjoyed the 360 but because I refuse to get the console till microsoft builds a credible first party line-up

Halo is great and all but I dont want yearly games

can they even get Blu ray?

Yes

of course they can, its the same as saying sony cant make pc's because it uses windows

MS doesnt own pc's, neither does sony own blu-ray
