RUMOR

Spoiler

News today say the name will be Xbox Now! Also being reported:There is now a full 12 gigabytes of high-speed RAM in the new Xbox Now! console, unlike the previous rumors of only 8gb.* To be precise, there is 4gb GDDR5 on the GPU and 8gb GDDR5 on the 8-Core IBM custom CPU.* The GPU is the first GCN 2.0 GPU produced and was designed by special team of MS+IBM+AMD.* Eric from IBM will be a speaker on the 21st. with more info like the fact the GPU specs. are a mindblogging 4.9 TFlops.Also being rumored that there will be playable units on hand.

Helluva rumor. Tomorrow is going to be fun.

Yes it is! I just hope MS plans to revamp the XBL pricing structure. The current model is unacceptable to me.

Re: Xbox 720

It's exactly what it will come down to, Sony has a bunch of 1st party studios to crank out exclusives and MS will partner with and/or pay studios for exclusives.

Nothing sad about it, it's how the industry works (especially for Nintendo).

For competition's sake, we're better off with equivalent systems differentiated by software anyways.

It's sad for me since I'll have to miss a lot of good games (I don't buy 2 systems). I don't remember this generation having so many exclusive right from the start (unless I missed it), but if that's how it starts then at some point it'll be A LOT of titles.

I know it's part of the competition, but if it's going to be that many games, then I guess I'll never get the chance to play some great ones. And not a few.

Really hope we see madden as well. Showing FIFA is good from a worldwide standpoint, but IMO it would be stupid not to show madden.

Re: Xbox 720

I am pretty much 99.9432 percent postive that there will be no sports exclusives on either console (well expect for the show) as it will kill the buisness

Re: Xbox 720

really looking forward to this reveal, debating if I want to get any console when they first launch but also with all the great looking games coming out right before thinking whether to hold off on games till I get a new console or get the games when they release and hold off till the new year on the console.

Re: Xbox 720

I just hope this next gen not only adds some original IP's but also add some user content to the mix.
Would love to see Tiger Woods golf add a course designer, the ability to print out rosters in sports games etc...
Things we could do on PC's.

Re: Xbox 720

Xbox Now! sounds like a good name for that mini always-on Xbox or something, not sure how I feel about that being the proper name for the full next-gen system.

Agreed. I would be surprised if that is the name because it gives off the wrong branding.

Re: Xbox 720

Xbox Now! sounds to me like some 80's product. The TV commercial should look like this:



"Xbox Now! Your kids will love it!"

Re: Xbox 720

Related, Marvel Now! is the imprint Marvel is using for their recent relaunch/event that they'll probably be using for the forseeable future.

I mean in a way I can make it work for me... Now! implies the immediate availability of everything, the rumored play during an install/demo download, always on, HDMI passthrough so that you don't even have to change sources on your TV/receiver to access content/games, etc... I can rationalize it plenty and if that's it I'm sure we'll get used to it... would probably prefer Infinity, Fusion, etc over it.

Guess im looking for the name of a product, and Xbox Now! sounds like an initiative or program instead. I suppose if the ecosystem is deconstructed and spread across PCs, phones, tablets and also the console, that makes plenty of sense too.

We'll see tomorrow.

Annoyed now that my day is filling up, meetings from 10am-1pm PST.

I'm not saying it will happen (FIFA 07 on the 360 did though), but the majority of money will come from the current-gen versions, so getting a timed exclusive on a next-gen version isn't going to "kill the business".
