Well there last system was dropped after 4 years and they choose the DVD format which wasn't going to last that long, I mean the PS2 has been using it since 2000.

The next Microsoft console will be...
The Okama Gamesphere! (Out is the XBox name, and in is a name that makes it sound Japanese, so that Microsoft would do better in Japan).

And yes, that picture IS from the article.
Im sure all companies are already working on the next console, inputting future ideas that if they put it in the next console then they'll save the idea for the next, or next one after.
The idea for the Wii started in 2001 which was the same year Gamecube was released so its not surprising if "Xbox720, PS4, Wii HD" has already started since their launch date.
As for MS, they shouldve be working on the "Nextbox" really early since the current one brought in nothing new and is just old technology.

Time to bring up a term from last generation: NeXt-Box
CURRENTLY PLAYING: Warframe, Witcher 2

There is no way the next XBox will look like that awful design model pictured in the article.

Mathemeticians wouldn't touch the term "Xbox 720". That holds no logical bearing whatsoever. That doesn't come anywhere close to "mathemetician" thinking. That's the thinking of the ten-thousand random kids on the Internet that think they're being clever. Someone actually putting thought into it would be more likely to bank on Xbox 1080 ("ten-eighty"). Rolls off the tongue far more easily, is a much more logical mathematic progression from 360 (360 + 360 + 360 = 1080; it's a 360º turn on the X, Y, and Z axes together). It's going from a "2D circle" to a "3D sphere", as if it's the progression of the 360 to the next plane. 720 is just 360 x2. Woo hoo. Nothing truly "mathematic" about it, other than they're using some sort of math to figure it out.
More OT: What's so "april fools" about this, guys? There's absolutely nothing "stunning" or "surprising" going on at all. All it's saying is that there've been reports of devs working on games for the next system, but nobody will straight admit it yet. That's been the norm in the industry for twenty-five years; why is it suddenly a joke now? |
A 2D circle is represented by a single angle of 360º and a 3D sphere is represented by two angles of 360º, not three.
Also if you're talking about 360º turns around axes, than I'd assume the current 360 stands for a turn around the x-axis. Why skip a x&y turn and go straight to x,y, and z?
