Forums - Microsoft - Designer imagines the next Xbox

Designer Joseph Dumary dreamed up this interpretation of the next Xbox console, which he calls the "Xbox Prestige." It's slightly curvier than the Xbox 360 Slim, suggesting it's from the future. It also includes a built-in "KinectIn" sensor for menu navigation and to scan cards for purchased games -- buy the card, put it in front of the system, and either download it or play it streaming. 

Inside the hypothetical console is a 2TB hard drive for storing those games, and a tuner for live TV. It is, in general, much nicer than the real system will be.

That console looks ugly as fuck.

On the other hand... "It also includes a built-in "KinectIn" sensor for menu navigation and to scan cards for purchased games -- buy the card, put it in front of the system, and either download it or play it streaming."

Do want. Get on this idea, Microsoft.

i agree, the card thing sounds amazing, but there would be some problems.

- it HAS to be online in order to get the game. While i couldnt care less about this fact, it might be a problem for some.

- Piracy; If every card has a unique Code, it only could be used once (or, simply only in your account after registering the game for it), or you can provide 20 people with 1 purchase. since i like to give friends my games to try them out, first would be kinda bad for me/us.

 

but overall, i'd be very tempted to buy a console that is built after this designer's idea of it.



I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

Hmm, looks like one of those Set Top Boxes ... which, going by the rumours, would be pretty fititng

I like the Kinect 2.0 they did though.

WTF the only requirement of dreaming up a hypothetical console design is that it look cool. That looks like ass. Its just a black box that looks like a computer.

The card scanner thing sounds cool though.

I always hate these things, they're always ugly as fuck, or boring as shit.

This falls into the latter category.

Looks ugly. Make it more like a box and less like a voluptuous woman.

And "Xbox Prestige" sounds terrible. Not sure how Microsoft will pull off a new name.

Well I would hope the next Xbox wouldn't look like that since that looks like a ugly Dell computer.

And a Kinect sensor inside doesn't make much sense seeing as many will need to position it somewhere else in order to make it work.

I like the way the rest sounds although I doubt there will be a 2 terabyte HD in it.
