Rumor: Xbox successor codename is "Ten". Expected release Holiday 2012.

Holiday 2012? Not bloody likely if they've got Halo 4 coming out for the 360 then.

One of the big rumors about Halo 4 for a while now is that it will actually end up being a launch title for the next Xbox. If they launch Holiday 2012 I think that's the route they'd go.
 
Nice, I'll buy it Holiday 2013 when the expected problems with the hardware have been fixed and the price dropped.
So many games for PS360 I still haven't finished.
 
With all this stuff about this console killing that one ETC, I think it is impossible at this point as the length in between each generation is so long that by that time that console generation is over I would estimate more then %40 own all 3 consoles.
 
Nintendo isn't fucked. It's Sony who is fucked for yet another generation if this release date stands.

'Cause Nintendo died when the N64 and Gamecube were outsold and beaten to market by their competitors, right?

However for the first time ever Nintendo stranglehold over the handheld market is now under serious threat from tablets and smartphones, couple this with the alarming drop off with the Wii and you get serious warning signs for Nintendo

I am not saying Nintendo are doomed, but I do predict more testing times to come for them.

Nintendo was in better financial shape then, you're forgetting.

After the horribad 3DS launch, another bad launch would be devestating for them.
 
Those shownotes say it will be announced at CES next year...that's literally two months away. Maybe it'll be the bomb in Ballmer's keynote.

If it's coming from Thurrott it certainly has the potential to be true...would be a pretty bizarre move though. You'd think MS and Sony both hanging back until 2013/4 makes much more sense.

Oh yeah! I forgot about this!

No way in hell they're releasing a new console and getting attention away from Halo 4, lol.

Nintendo's done for in the console market and should just start making iOS games if this rumor is true, though.

For all we know it was being made for the successor to the 360 all along, not like it'd be the first time a secret was kept...well secret.

Oh. That guy's, um, crazy.

He's made a ton of prognostications, many of which were wrong. Just sayin'. I'd recommend a pinch of salt.

I don't get what 10 has to do with anything

Like the OS "X".

I am sure Apple would like that.

ah, that makes sense. Weird, but ok. anything would be better than 720.
I still like nextbox, but it becomes redundant when the 4th xbox comes out.

yeah, i would love to be able to do this. but i cannot resist the hype of a console launch. i have fond memories of both the 360 and ps3 launches. not so fond memories of my launch 360 crapping out on me after the three year rrod warranty had expired.

Agree. Halo 4 is the start of the new trilogy. It's aimed at the current install base on 360, with subsequent titles the draw to upgrade. I can't imagine they'd launch new hardware alongside it.

There were rumors of MS making a backwards compatibility with performance upgrades in the next system, like running Xbox 360 games in 1080p or something.
It's not like most people give a fuck about hardware upgrades in short notice anyway, just look at every Apple product.
 
The sooner the better. Console generation has been lagging pretty bad. Never turn my 360 on anymore. Just collects dust. They needed this two years ago instead of that goofy Kinect.
 
Did they talk about the credibility of the rumor?

Can't listen to it now, so if anyone could post a summary.

The show notes mention CES 2012 announcement. That's in about 2 months. Seems awfully early. But if it's true, we'll get a lot more rumors soon.
 
If this is true. Would this explain why 3rd party devs aren't interested in WiiU?
 
Halo 4 could be a Xbox 360 and Xbox 10? title. Remember Zelda with the Wii / Cube? It also could be that Halo 4 has been moved to just a Xbox 10? title. I don't recall them saying it was on the 360 to be honest. Just some video footage at the press conference. It was assumed to be though as new hardware talk hadn't really seem like anything that Microsoft would be doing before 2013 at the earliest then.
 
How will the joke work now?

"What does the Ten in Xbox Ten stand for?"
"Because when you see it you turn Ten degrees and slightly walk past it"

???

E3 2012 will be interesting

The sales weren't even that bad, right? Made more money than the DS even when the DS had the holidays to boost their sales?

I was thinking more along the lines of Moses and the Ten Commandments (played by Bill Gates).


BTW: The Roman numeral for 10 is X.
 
Ten? Weird. Then again, project codenames aren't supposed to have mass appeal anyway. I don't think holiday 2012 is feasible, though. I was thinking of a much more conservative E3 2012 unveil - holiday 2013 launch.

Nintendo Doomed, mirite?

The N64, Gamecube, and Wii all showed up a whole year late to the party, and Nintendo's still around.

The Wii was on time as the generation didn't start until Sony said so.

Most boring one ever, mark my words.

I bet they are saving next gen hardware for E32013, so all of software development will be focused on those by mid 2012. So we will get some lame announcements(PS360), and sequels. "And here is new game in best selling franchise......Call of Duty!".
It will be so dry and boring that everyone will push panic button by asking where is next gen (sorry Wiiu)
