Next-Gen. Xbox Codenamed "Durango" by Microsoft

Microsoft's next-generation Xbox game console, which has been unofficially referred to as "Xbox 720", has been reportedly given a codename by Microsoft so industry partners could use it, instead. It is now codenamed "Durango". The working-name "Xbox 720" has been received negatively by some quarters, that felt it implied 720p (1280 x 720) display resolution, which is not a big departure from the present-generation. 1080p (1920 x 1080) is expected of this console, as it's also reported to feature Blu-ray disc support. Durango will focus on improving human-interface, by creating a combination of Kinect and a newer gamepad with a touchscreen.

personally i think they just need to make a console that can handle 60FPS in every launch title, none of this 30FPS crap.

TheMailMan78If the new Xbox is anything like the Dodge Durango it will catch on fire before its even plugged in.
And even if it doesn't catch on fire, it'll be worth about $40 if you sell it used.

Wow next gen is looking shitty. I won't want this BS controller stuff that has a screen on it. Thats why I have a 40 inch plasma screen and my 24" computer monitor. I have enough screens as it is!

They should've called it "Durandal" to honour Bungie.

Why don't we just call it Nextbox or Xbox 1080, which is conveniently 3x360.
