Yeah, I know. That is very cool. Probably will be used for the apps more than the actual games.

I am still debating on getting both consoles. Then I think about buying one game twice... What is the point?

Yes. Yes it does

A while ago people were saying that a new 720 is supposed to cost less than a new 360

Well MS seems to be practically scrambling for money nowadays, so it's possible that they'd try selling the consoles are waaay under manufacturing costs and then make up the money in their cut from game sales. Cheaper console = more people who own it = more games bought for it.

It's rumored to just be called Xbox, which is lame and makes discussion require more clarification since we've already had an Xbox. Seriously, I'll be pissed if it isn't called the 720....

...Not sure how they are scrambling for money when the 360 was the top selling console in the world since December of last year

But I see where you are going with that... chances are though the 720 (or whatever it will be called) will be about $400, and the games will still be around $60... maybe up to $70.

Iv made my decision and im buying both... 720 first, then PS4... unless theres a long gap between each release, then PS4 might be first

I've heard that they will be going the way of Apple as well (just calling it the "new iPad"). If they called it 720, that would require that the continue doubling up each time, eventually reaching levels of Xbox 1440 and weird numbers like that. I'm not sure they would want to, especially considering at all of the more recent events they just have "Xbox" on their signage instead of "Xbox 360".

Hey, so I was looking up to see if Microsoft has said anything about the 720 or even their reactions to the PS4... then I saw this...

Xbox 720 Announcement in April?

Kinda figured Microsoft would say something or say when their announcement would be within atleast a week of the PS4 reveal. Seems i'm right ^.^

I don't care what they name the one after this upcoming one. I just really want a 720. And a handheld called the 180.
