After all the questions, all the rumors, all the guessing......We FINALLY have a answer about the XBOX 720. ITS COMING OUT!!!!! For many people, this will be very exciting, Some may not because of reasons we don't need to know. For those who are excited, I got bad news, it comes out in 2013. Yeah I said it. Here's what the XBOX 720 equips (inside)...


Sources confirm fall 2013 release, detail graphics processing power.

The next Xbox will ship to retailers in late October or early November of next year with six times the processing power of the Xbox 360, sources close to the project have told IGN.
Following initial reports from tech blogs Fudzilla and SemiAccurate, our sources have confirmed that mass production of the system's GPU will indeed begin by the end of 2012 but will not, however, be based on AMD's 7000 series Southern Islands GPU. Instead, the processor will be derived from the 6000 series, which was introduced last year. More specifically, it will be akin to the Radeon HD 6670, which offers support for DirectX11, multidisplay output, 3D and 1080p HD output. The chip currently has a market price of upwards of $79.99.

In real terms, the Xbox 720's raw graphics processing power is expected to be six times that of the Xbox 360 and will yield 20-percent greater performance than Nintendo's forthcoming console, the Wii U.
Developers are likely to receive development kits based on the system's final configuration in August. Projected pricing for the console was not provided.

Well, there you go. This article was copied and pasted by Isaiah.

Interesting... although I see no point in making consoles with such ridiculous processing power. It only makes game development much more expensive and difficult. I hope it gets some good games. And I think it's still too early.
 
This is a sad indctment of gaming today:
Our everly increasing demand for better graphics and 'realism' in fantasy are invariably at the expense of all other aspects of the game. Which is why not too many games produced in the past 3 years will go on to be classics. The fact that microsoft are adhering to this ridiculous demand which will only serve to cripple the budgets and all other aspects of any games made to this spec. of the developers. This isn't an improvement, its a problem.
