No new Xbox in the near future, Microsoft sticking with the 360 |

The original Xbox was released on 2001, which was followed four years
later by the 360 in 2005. It's now 2009, a brand new year. Will we see
a brand new Xbox model anytime soon?Nope, says Microsoft's Robbie Bach.
Down at CES, Bach explains that they'll be sticking with this gen of the Xbox for longer than they did with the original one, since it's getting harder to get consumers to upgrade. Instead of rushing out with a new model, they'll be focusing on improving the console's games and features.
So many potshots I can shoot at Microsoft here, but we all already know what happened last time they rushed to bring their console to the public, so let's just breathe a sigh of relief at the news and leave it at that.

Or are they going to release a New Processor + Graphics addon, well I doubt it's even possible
Really I think I know what they will do, they will start competing with the Wii they can easily do that I think they already started with the childish new firmware and the cheap games that will support those childish looking avatars
They know in the near future they will earn more with Shovelware Wii games and Microsoft always has been chasing the money so I really think that will be the plan sadly

There's nothing wrong with the 360s tech and its still able to compete with most PS3 games.
Anyway there is a lot of life left in the 360.

I'm a PC gamer and the PS3 hardware is just amazing, the Xbox 360 isn't for long
It like you can build a PC for $300 it will play all current games on good settings and coming games in med/low settings
You could also build a PC for $1000 this will play all current games on good settings and a lot of games coming in the future also on good settings
And please keep me out of your sick console wars calling everybody a fanboy when they don't talk positive about your superhero

I'm not this kind of guy that just shouts it looks better on my console, I know what both systems can handle and I can see an ending in Xbox 360
You are saying I need the console to know which is best that's total nonsense all a person needs to know is the hardware and what it's capable of

I agree with BIH that the 360 still has stuff to squeeze out of it; the Unreal 3 Engine never ceases to amaze us, and hopefully other devs can still find ways to maximize performance and aesthetics on the 360, but that doesn't mean there's equally (or better in opinion) work being pushed too on the PS3. I've only seen HD video footage of various PS3 games, but I think the work done on Resistance 2 and work being done on Killzone 2/Uncharted 2 (lots of 2s here) can pose some competition to the 360.
err....
Lets see what devs can bring the rest out with the 360's 3-core processor, but also lets see the potential of the Cell as well.

Xbox 360 you had a great run but you are too old for me and you lack the ability to keep me interested.
Its not you...its me.

But I agree with this guy 100%.
However, 4 years is just too short. Microsoft has to stick it out 1 more year, and I'm hoping for a mid to late 2010 release.

If you go to any store and ask a random person what they think of Blu-Ray, they'll tell you "I don't give a sh*t".
The 360's hardware will be dated soon, but that will only matter to the die-hards who need the latest and greatest. And those are not the people who pay MS's bills. The rest of the people will not notice, because they'll still be enjoying great games
People from the very beginning of this (new gen consoles) said that the great games would pass over the 360 and be made for PS3 because of Blu-Ray. I don't think that happened...
