It shouldn\'t come as any real surprise, but it seems that Sandy Duncan, a vice president of the home and retail division at Microsoft in the U.K. has let it slip in a conference in London that "The company is already working on the next version of Xbox". Wow, that\'s quite a statement from Sandy and was quoted by Bloomberg however, I\'m not so sure that good old Sandy should have let that line slip.... I guess we\'ll just have to wait for an official statment from the boys up in Redmond - just to clarfify the situation like

Now,
As much as a few of us here want to see xbox, why the hell does MS have to be working on Xbox2 when the first one is not even released. Oh wait, this is not an OFFICAL statement from the BIG BOYS at MS.
TO damn early to start work on Xbox2.
*Goes back to waiting for Xbox to launch on Nov 8th*

First off I already started a thread about this, Seocnd it\'s not to soon to start on XBOX2
TO damn early to start work on Xbox2.
Engineering and creating a console for the next generation is going to be a difficult task, MS has 5 years tops to come up with something that can compete with it\'s competition, SONY PS3 and Nintendo\'s next gen. I can bet you that even Nintendo has something on the drawing board right now. Also I am only guessing here, but I can bet NVIDIA will be heavily involved in XBOX\'s next gen console, well that\'s probably a given.
MS is very confident of the XBOX, which means they will back it up all the way baby, they are serious about getting a piece of the pie, just like SOINY and Nintendo is. ALL I can say is lots games for the mainstream.

First off, I am happly waiting for Xbox, i just did not realize the time needed to do the proper research, and getting all that **** they need in order to make the next console every bit as good as the first one. I sure as hell Hope you don\'t have a beef with me, because i don\'t hate Xbox. As a matter of fact, soon i will be the proud owner of one when it is released on Nov 8th 2001.
Oh, and one more thning, OGODLY, do you happen to have ICQ,AIM,MSN or anyway i can talk to you, because i have some friends that need to be shut up, and your info is very insightful.

Not at all, actually I posted so that maybe my point of view might give you a different perspective on this matter.

Do your friends happen to hang out at IGN froums, my advise to you and anybody is stay away from there, I\'m sure many other here can back me up on that.
I myself probably won\'t be getting XBOX till feb next year, My girlfriend will kick me in the ass If i get another console, as she knows that I will spend more time with XBOX than her, I tend to get realy addicted to ONline play, but since XBOX won\'t be having that till next summer, I think i\'m ok.

I\'m willing to bet that Ogodly can\'t make it past late November/early December. Any takers :D
Seriously, I can\'t see you waiting for the Xbox that long. You are the reason that some members are even considering the Xbox. I can\'t imagine them having one before you. It just doesn\'t seem right. ;)

Very true gohan, you are indeed correct, I might not get one at launch, but right after I will, Even if I have to sneak it in the house. An old colleague of mine works at (EB Canada) and he will be putting an xbox aside for me, that an odd world. Also for those of you who Think I’m into halo, your wrong, I will not be getting that game. Ever since they announced there would be no online play, I said hell with it. HALO was designed from the ground up to be based on online play, not single player, and that stupid split screen. Although I will rent the game.
Out of all the games that will launch for XBOX ODDWORLD is what really impresses me. Might not have the best graphics(heck they even said there not pushing polys) but it\'s game play looks extremely promising, as well as it\'s story and it\'s environmental world.
TOO BAD ODDWORLD wont be in Dolby digital 5.1, cause that would be fu*k**ng awesome. Developers of that game don\'t have enough time to implement it. Just imagine that game in 5 discreet channels of digital sound.

Bah,
No, none of my friends hang out at IGN, they are smarter then that. Anyone that hangs out there is just pathetic. I used to post there, that is until i saw how stupid most of the Sony Zombies ETC. act over there. Stupidity at its best i tell ya.
Anyways, Ogodly you never answered me, do you have ICQ, MSN or anything, maybe we can sit down and have a nice little chat.

Don\'t forget the Nintendo/MS/Sega Zombies. When it comes to Fanboys, you have the pick of the litter at IGN.

Get MSN, you sexy thing. It\'s even made by Microsoft! You\'re one of the few X-proponents here, so you have to keep with the spirit:)
