Comments on: The next Xbox…where, when and what will it be? http://www.unscripted360.com/2010/03/17/the-next-xbox-where-when-and-what-will-it-be/ - an Xbox 360 Community Show Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:30:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John Kahler http://www.unscripted360.com/2010/03/17/the-next-xbox-where-when-and-what-will-it-be/#comment-567739 John Kahler Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:57:00 +0000 http://www.unscripted360.com/?p=6531#comment-567739 It seems a little odd that the XBOX 360 has gone as long as it has. A new console every 4 or so years seemed quite usual to me. Mmm and hopefully it won't be the XBOX 720 either. I don't want to see it take a Sony trend and just start re-numbering each console. A new name seems like a good idea to something fresh. As far as things I'd like to see it do — well I guess you’d expect much better graphics. Hopefully better control pads and a simpler, less cluttered dashboard too. It seems a little odd that the XBOX 360 has gone as long as it has.

One console, playable on any room in your home. I'd pay more for this feature, as opposed to having to pick which room will be my "man cave".

(seriously, that was so frustrating when i turned it on a week later it was broke. i have never had something do that.) wireless is a must. how can you say cutting edge technology when you use archaic wires. the smallest hdd should be 250GB. also, i am sick of buying two games to play on both my consoles that microsoft knows are mine(by registration) played in the same house (known by ip address). if i want to play one game on 4 consoles in my own home i should only need one friggin disc. built in wireless is a must. monthly fee for use is just nuts. i already pay 100 a year for family membership. if that route ever happens (unless maybe a rediculously low price) i will not ever buy. blue ray or current popular disc technology is a no brainer. they will be impossibly stupid not to do so. quieter is a necessity. the 360 is really loud. stereo set at 6 when running from hdd and set at 15 (out of 50) when playing from disc. reliability definately. my last rrod happened while it was off.

Except Microsoft should do something like the iphone And the ipod touch and have it to where you could either buy a console that would be like $250 and then pay for gold like seven bucks a month. Or you could buy the system for $50 and then have a two year contract with A wireless carrier for 3G and 200 MP a month with web access for $15 bucks a month. I like Alex’s idea.

It would have to be about $15/month instead of $30 though. I would be happy with a simple update called the Xbox Quiet Edition -- able to play games and cutscenes without sounding like a leaf blower.

Kiss your mom and dads ass a little harder or get a job loser. Monthly fee? that’s retarded think about what you would pay over 5 years for that?

That is the worst idea i have heard by far. $30 a month for a year is over $300 alone. Now draw that out for the 5 years this Xbox has ran; that's $1800 on the console. Monthly fees suucckk any ways. 1- reliability 2- everything wireless 3- upgrade to 1080p on everything. 4- update the CPU 5- blu ray player (if that's even the thing at the time 2015) Alex…..

All consoles are sold at a loss for a fair while after release. This was certainly true of the Xbox 360 and PS3, and is the reason why releasing a console is so risky for video game companies. Console manufacturers make their money from licensing, so their interest is in optimum sales of software and peripheries etc, made possible by as many people buying their console as possible. Obviously, this will only happen if the console is priced competitively. Bearing all of this in mind, surely the best thing to do would be for consoles to be sold like contract mobile phones - the hardware is free (or hugely discounted), and the difference is made up with a monthly fee. Millions of users are happy to pay for access to xbox live gold, and there are many other perks that could be bundled with the console to make people feel like they are getting value for money. For example, where mobile users get a certain number of minutes every month, customers could get xbox points, allowing for consistent consumption of DLC and a smoother flow of products to customers. Think about it! Imagine if the next xbox was $100 with a $25 monthly subscription, or free with a $30 monthly subscription. Consumers get what they want for less, or spread out over a more manageable timeline, console makers get loyalty from customers (obviously there would be a minimum term contract involved). Well, it's an idea! I’ve been thinking…

Of course I did. Look how long it took 360 to surpass the sales figures of the original Xbox. And even that is fair to note that a huge number of the sale figures are bought as replacements for an offensively high defect rate. I would love to see somebody show me a actual figure of the current 360 userbase (unit sales minus those bought as replacements). MS is determined to milk 360 as long as possible. Imagine using a gaming computer for 5 years. It would never happen yet here we are about to go into a 6th and 7th year with the same hardware. Didn’t I call this one correctly way back in the day?

Reliability - I am tired of the RRoD 2. Internal Wi-Fi - Why did I buy a PS3 free internet and no $100 for a wireless adapter 3. Rechargeable Controllers - Just a good thing 4. Bluetooth Compatibility - just less wires 5. I like the Streaming for friends idea from Boston IMO some of these things could be added to the existing 360 1. Reliability – I am tired of the RRoD
