First Wii 2 Rumors, now XBox 3?

By all means, make development even costlier, Microsoft.

Consumers (in this case gamers) are at least partly to blame, with their demand for better graphics supported by the games they decide to buy.

Does anyone really believe this? They just released a (so far) successful add on, and the 360 sales in the US and UK are stronger than ever (the rest of the world will just never open up to MS it seems). Why release a new console which will cost them a lot of money, when they are finally having some extra success with the 360?

Because nintendo is going to make them seem behind.

Not going to happen, it was just this year that Microsoft listed engineering job posting for the "next" Xbox and I highly doubt anything could be cranked out that fast. Microsoft just recently came out with Kinect which was supposed to double the lifetime of the 360. Sales are highest ever at the moment; I don't expect an unveiling for a while.

Does this make my PS3 retro?

Nintendo needs something true HD, but Microsoft needs to focus on continuing to maximize the capabilities of the 360 and not releasing new hardware right away.

I totally agree!!

Well I'd still be watching E3 whether this rumor came out or not. I'm a gaming geek. We'll get enough to drool over when they show us the promised gameplay from Wii 2. If we hear about XBox 3 on top of that, then fantastic.

Weren't you around for the launch of the 360? One word. RROD...ok it's not really a word but you get the idea
