Xbox 720 Will Be Six Times as Powerful as Current Gen

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

Report: Next Xbox to Feature Blu-Ray Drive

Microsoft to use Blu-Ray discs for the Xbox 360's successor.

Following news that the next Xbox will be six times as powerful as the current model, new reports reveal how the Xbox 360's successor will handle disc content.

Games industry sources have told Kotaku that Microsoft will be making the transition to Blu-Ray technology with the new console, increasing the storage space by at least double the amount found on DVDs.

Sony has been utilizing Blu-Ray discs for gaming since the introduction of the PlayStation 3. Single layer Blu-Ray discs hold 25 GB of data, with dual-layer discs managing 50 GB.

The big games are going to take 4+ years to develop now that developers have to finely tune the graphics, sound, and gameplay with these powerful systems and the immense possibilities they offer. I miss the 2 year development cycles of older systems. FFVII, while shitty graphics, offered one of the greatest gaming experiences ever, just goes to show.

so the Xbox will be 6 times faster...does that mean games will be better?

at the rate EA updates their stuff, we should see great sports graphics in 2018.

I haven't played NHL, which is one of the few that seems to get critical praise.

Madden's problem is gameplay. NCAA football is gameplay. Fight Night is gameplay.

EA's sports games are just not "sim". They're trying to keep relevant with the casual gamer, so we'll always have haymakers, 40-yard drop back super passes, and LBs jumping 20 feet in the air to pick off a crossing route.

Then, the producer should say that, time and time again, they claim to want to make a fun simulation game. I have no problem if they come out n say, we want the game to be in the middle of sim and arcade, but dont lie to the customer. I bought Maddent his year, played it for like 2 weeks, then told my nephew Merry early Xmas. lol .

I dont have any idea what the dev's have said about the game the last past year, i got banned from Operation Sports and have since made the switch from Sports to Fighting games. get the same one on one feeling, but at 35, i dont have the reactions i used too I kinda get how aging boxers feel, you see something coming, but you just can counter sometimes.

How the hell did you get banned from OS? They're usually pretty lenient. Oh well, don't air your dirty laundry here.

Have you played Fight Night Rocky 15...err, Champion?

[Dayze]

yeah, that too. I just remember when PS3 etc first came out, it took forever until animation engines/graphics were worth a poo.

You didn't play Uncharted Drakes Fortune? that game was badass on the PS3 for a launch title.
