Forums - Microsoft - The Next Microsoft Console?

1. What Will It Be Called?
2. When Will It Release?
3. What Controls Will It Use?
4. Will It Win The Next Console War?
5. Will Microsoft ever make a hanheld console?

1. XBOX 1080
2. 2011 or 2012
3. Improved version of the 360s controller and a wiimote competitor
4. if MS play there cards right, they could atleast worry nintendo, but its gonna need to be one hell of a console to beat nintendo next gen
5. i think it will happen at some point, MS probably feel as though they have caught Sony in the home console market and may wish to attack the PSP aswell.

1. No.
2. Probably 2012.
3. Some form of motion may be included, but not exclusively by any means.
4. No way to tell, I mean look at this generation.
5. I doubt they will ever have a handheld that only has one PRIMARY function in gaming.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

1. Assmaster 3000
2. 2012
3. Guitar hero controller only
4. IT will beat nintendo and sony but will lose to Dreamcast 2
5. No, but they will make a virtual reality helmet.



1. They'll surprise us with a suffix like 'XBOX EX' or XBOX 'XL' or w/e. Something snazzy.
2. 2012 maybe?
3. Same basic concept, possibly collapsible like we saw that Sony patent for motion control.
4. No
5. I don't see why they would.



1. Xbox Blue
2. 2011
3. Updated 360 Controller
4. Yes, they will dominate the videogame market.
5. I don't think so. Microsoft wants to control the home, not the school recreation park.

I don't think microsoft will go the route of the motion controller, but will try and find something else unique and interesting to bring in consumer interest.

One cool Idea I think they should do is put some sort of screen on their controller and make their controllers portable gaming systems. it would be a cool way to integrate console, xbox live arcade games, and handheld gaming. Those xbox live arcade games don't really require that much processing power, I think they could do it pretty easy and keep the cost down on the controllers. People don't really buy more than a couple controllers now a days anyway unless it is for the wii.



^ Looks like you played too much VMU mini-games on your Sega Dreamcast controller! :)
