What do you guys think the name for the 'next Xbox' will be? I think '720' is highly unlikely, my personal bet would just be 'Xbox'

    Xbox RT?

    Yeah, it probably would confuse some people. There just seems to be a few reliable rumours going around that Microsoft may be taking that approach. It worked for Apple as well I guess.

    Just Xbox? Surely that would be confusing...

Do you tend to stay with the same console manufacturer for each new generation?
— Dabbadoo, 2nd February

I think I'll be getting the Xbox 720 because of having a 360 this gen. I'd say it makes things easier! Are you loyal to a manufacturer?

    That all depends on the games on offer and the services that each company will provide. For example online users of the xbox must pay to use the service but the playstation network is free, and the xbox subscription is not exactly cheap. I have only just realised that it is in fact much better to buy the entire year upfront as a redeemable voucher (these can be found on ebay or Amazon) than the pay per month subscription.

    A big issue for me would be the ability to play second hand games on the console, there were rumors that Microsoft did intend to prevent the resale of games but that may very well not be true. There are of course other minor difference that everybody has. I prefer the xbox controller to the playstation controller. It just 'feels' better.

    But perhaps there will be a new console company that will steal the show such Steam with the Xi3 Corporation 'Piston'. bbc.co.uk/news/…

    It'd be hard to say really. I've always been ridiculous and purchased almost every console at some point (from as far back as the Master System. 3DO? Yes indeed). I'm not particularly loyal and I buy for a variety of reasons. For instance, I only just recently got a PS3 and that's specifically because I owned a PS2. What happened was that I never had an Xbox and skipped a generation so started by getting a 360 so I could go back and play the Xbox classics to catch up.

    I'm all over the map. Pretty much the only thing I don't do are dedicated handhelds. I'll play games on my phone very rarely but I tend to hunch too much with handhelds and I stop playing pretty quickly. The only handheld games I ever really cared to play were Pokemon games.

    I've always been a bit of a Nintendo fan to be honest but I play my Xbox 360 much more than the Wii so I'd say tastes change over time. I did buy a PS1 just for Gran Turismo so I agree with the notion of the decision to buy being based around games rather than the manufacturer.

    well, looks like there is going to be a console war again, if these specs are right. The new ps3 has better hardware again.
