The "Next-Box" finally confirmed by Microsoft
8/7/12 6:00pm
Microsoft finally confirmed there will be another Xbox, which may be code named "Durango", thanks to Windows Live general manager Brian Hall. He was quoted in an interview
"We just decided it was time to do something new and bring the best from each of those- put them together and release it right in time for the new wave of products that we have coming out with Windows 8, with the new version of Office, with the new Windows Phone and the new Xbox."
Durango is rumored to ship with an integrated Kinect sensor, a Blu-Ray Drive, and may feature some new kind of technology that will not let you play used games.

You can't play used games? Fuck that shit. They're already the ONLY company that forces P2P Online, and now you have to buy EVERY SINGLE GAME used?
Don't get me wrong, I myself rarely buy games used, I much prefer new copies. The thing is, what if you don't like the game? Or, what if there is an awesome game that's discontinued and can only be found used? Then it's rendered completely useless, except to the person who bought it. Imagine the impact this would have on Pawn Shops!
That is, if this rumor is to be believed.

It was kinda obvious. I mean, Xbox360 can't last forever

NO NO NO. THIS IS NOT NEWS, THIS IS NOT TRUE.
Don't be like IGN and promote lies to the front page for clicks and views. Microsoft already stated that this was misinterpreted. There are a lot of new features coming to the Xbox. Go to IGN and look at the article they posted. It's exactly like yours, except it has an update with Microsoft's reply.

Yeah, watching an episode of Pach-Attack! on GT explained how if Xbox did that their sales would TANK. Sony and Nintendo would allow used games to be played and get all the gaming sales. Pack-Attack! also explain how used games don't take that much of a dent in their profits. Sure it's a lose of revenue but not as much of a lose as they lead you to think. Basically they would so more money than they would make if they stop used games from being played.

If it can't play used game, I simply won't buy it.
And this is coming from a guy who owns over over 13 consoles and a TON of handhelds.
