Xbox 720 Console
Xbox 720 .. is this the name of the next generation Xbox?
Rumours are starting to circulate that it may indeed be the name of Microsoft’s replacement of the hugely popular Xbox 360, afterall, Xbox 360 2 or Xbox 360 II seems pretty lame.
Whilst the Xbox 360 is still very much at the forefront of the games console market, developers inside Microsoft are already working on the next generation of Xbox consoles. The responsibility for this falls on the shoulders of chief Microsoft designers such as Larry Yang, Jeff Andrews and Nick Baker.
From a consumers point of view, the Xbox 720, or whatever they call it, could do with including a blu-ray player to compete with the Sony PS4, but it’s a Sony development they are perhaps unlikely to want to pay a competitor for the privilege. Microsoft need to be looking at HDTV and perhaps even 3D TV.
However, as we look towards the next few years, the DVD format is likely to go the way of the CD, ie. nowhere. The Xbox 720, and PS4 for that matter, is likely to give rise to the more popular option of downloading games direct from the internet.
Given that the Xbox 720 isn’t due until 2011 or 2012, LTE Broadband should be established by then and as such the 720 will have to capitalise on this and with download speeds of up to 100 Mbps, sparks should fly.
