Xbox 360 successor to surface by 2015
Microsoft's Xbox 360 gaming console is headed towards a refresh by 2015, if leaked images of a confidential project part of WGX (Windows Gaming eXperience) and Microsoft's IEB (Interactive Entertainment Business) are to be believed.
This Xbox scoop comes courtesy of ZDNet, who managed to get their hands on the confidential image in question. It shows a tantalizing hint of what arguably looks like the successor of the Xbox 360 as we know it. Take a look (image courtesy ZDNet).
The cryptic note at the top of the image reads "collaboration with Microsoft's IEB Design group investigating future user experiences and hardware for 2015." The image was posted on the website of one Ben Patterson -- a recent addition to the Xbox team, reports suggest.
Right now, the details are hazy at best and all in the realm of speculation, because it looks like Microsoft has just started working on the Xbox 360 gaming console's successor. But the 2015 release date means the current Xbox 360 console is on its way to complete a decade as Microsoft's premier gaming console. Ten years, who would've thought?
There you have it then, Sony's PS3 and Nintendo's Wii have been warned. What needs to be seen is if the Xbox 360 successor will be anything as groundbreaking or record-breaking as its Kinect motion controller. Four years is a lot of time for Microsoft to cook something spectacular, don't you think?
