India, South America and maaaybe China are lost causes when there's no way the next Xbox will be cheap enough or subsidized enough and too many tariffs in some cases to penetrate those markets. Too much poverty in general for any amount of returns. MS would be better off marketing the first Xbox in South America.
I can only speak for my country on south america but the gaming market has never been this big as it has been this generation.
Consoles are cheap as hell here compared to Brazil an other countries. Same for games. We get a really fair exchange rate from dollar to our local money. We had to pay $120 dollars for N64 games decades ago. Now? We pay 60 bucks and not even that when games get cheaper in 2-3 months.
What was really cool here is that when the 360 came out, every first party MS game was like 40 dollars. They probably subsidized that but it worked to get people hooked on buying original games. There's a lot of piracy in SA but now everyone wants to buy original copies. That's why now we have Ubisoft, EA, Konami and the big 3 among others giving local support to our market. As editor in chief of a local site I've been part of events from those companies that I could only dream being on here. A Ubisoft event here launching AC? Stuff that was impossible to imagine decades ago. Now is just business as usual.

It's a great time to be a gamer in south america. It can only get better.
 
Awesome choice, which model? I got a 50" VT65 (VT60 in the states) the other week and it's mind blowing. My PS3 and 360 games already look next-gen compared to the Samsung D8000 LED I used to have. Never mind what the next consoles will look like on this thing :)
I got the same exact model you did, the VT60. :)
 
Lol guess in 20 or so years you can hvae fun playing on durango...ill be 3 generations ahead :)

What? Console cycles generally don't last 20 years, and I doubt we'll still have consoles in 20 years. I was making a joke about one of Peter's many promises for Fable, by the way.
 
Just got the down low from my confidant. Unfortunately they use a special type of paint that doesnt allow you to photograph the new Xbox. (this is real).

Is that the same paint for license plates that allows free tolls and run red-light cameras that can be bought for only 4 payments of $9.99 plus shipping?
 
GAF... A technical question:


Based on the 'supposed' specs.... how small could the console be and will it have a power brick?

I think they'll always opt for an external power brick, because having the brick automatically shaves off a big portion of the console size.

I do think that Durango won't be bigger than the original 360. And it will probably be a lot quieter than the launch 360 as well.
 
The anticipation is growing!

Also, I noticed this from one of Rare's parties on their blog.

At least Banjo appears to be on their mind lately.

Why do they keep torturing their fans?

I'm giving them one more chance. If nothing new is shown at E3 that does not involve Kinect Sports/Adventures then I'm never going to look forward to their games anymore.
