Next Generation Console News: Xbox One, PS4, Wii U

Is this exclusive to the XBox? Or is PS doing something similar? (Sorry didn't research/read back)

I believe Sony is doing this

Yeah from what I've read it's both

Is the video game market decent in Europe too? On my playstation I can barely keep a connection for more that 20 min. I would be so mad if I moved here and my system didn't work anymore.

Just as popular, IMO.

Found a dailymail article that adds some more details.

"But is it true? While Edge cites impeccable-sounding sources, the official Xbox 360 magazine pours cold water on the rumours.
'Take all this with a pinch of salt, as ever. From where we're sitting, walling-out pre-owned and insisting on a broadband connection would be madness - broadband penetration isn't nearly comprehensive enough to justify such a , and 'requiring' consumers to do anything is a fine way to ensure they take their custom elsewhere,' says the magazine."

Exactly. Attempting to kill the used game market is just not
Going to happen.

PS4 new controller?

If the new Xbox thinks about integrating windows 8, I will not buy the new Xbox, and will switch back to the PS4. Windows 8 is the devil

The current generation already has a W8 look/feel to it.

Kind of

There's a report the next Xbox will be able to run multiple games/apps at once, and requires the Kinect to function

all Xbox's will have a kinect in them

I think the next gen Xbox will be as much about navigation and user interface as it is about actual game play. I think they want body motion and voice command to be at a much higher level in their next product. Think about a much dumbed down version of Minority Report.

No kidding

This. If they require the Kinect to be operating to run the system, this is my guess.

I meant that as fact, the new xbox's will ship with kinect's

As we reported a year ago, the new version of the Kinect motion-control sensor array will be included with every Durango sold. The unit seems far superior to the one currently found for the Xbox 360 (or the PC, for that matter).
Perhaps most importantly, this isn't an optional accessory. It's mandatory. Not only does a Kinect ship with every console, but it must be plugged in and calibrated for the console to even function.
This requirement is due to the way Kinect has been integrated with the Durango; because every console can be guaranteed of having the camera, developers can now program every game with the peripheral in mind.
