QuoteAfter years of build up, a Microsoft representative finally spilled the beans on Microsoft's upcoming new gaming console. Speaking to The Verge on a recent podcast, Microsoft general manager Brian Hall mentioned "the new Xbox" when discussing Microsoft Outlook.
Quote from: WinterActual on Aug 07, 2012, 04:11:37 AMThis time I'll get the PS4 first, instead of the new Xbox. I don't like the way MS are headed with all this kinect crap. Sony have so much more and better exclusives for the past 2 years. MS are just screwing it up, sadly. I just hope the PS4 controller is better than this old piece of shit which didn't changed since '95 at all.
QuoteWe know there's a new Xbox console coming in some form as surely as we know that when a tree falls in the forest it still makes a sound even if nobody is around to hear it. We're just not quite sure why Microsoft is so reticent to acknowledge even the mere plan for its existence at some point in the future.
QuoteWe've heard rumors about Microsoft's Blu-ray plans and an anti-used-game system before, but an activation system coupled with an online requirement sounds like a key way to prevent piracy for the next-generation of console games. If Microsoft locks out the second-hand market for its next Xbox console then that will not sit well with a number of gamers, so we'd hope that Microsoft has plans to support game sharing somehow.

It's understandable why...but it's really not good for the consumers who want to either sell the games, or just play the game somewhere else...what the hell would happen if you had to buy a new X-Box because the one you own doesn't work anymore? Dumb.

Since we're not talking about PC, we're talking about Xbox. You've always been able to trade-in/buy used for Xbox. So, therefore, this is new.
