Microsoft already working working on 3rd console?

It looks like Microsoft has already started development on their next Xbox console, well I assume it will still hold the name Xbox, but who knows?

Microsoft EMEA Veep Chris Lewis says the company has already started working on its next next-generation console because “we have to”.Preliminary work is already under way, he told UK games site Kikizo.

“You can’t sit back on your laurels in this business - the consumer won’t let you, the developers certainly won’t let us. So that’s happening right now,” he said.

The research and development practices of the console division are “no different than any other part of Microsoft” though, he insisted.


The news that Microsoft is already working on an Xbox 360 successor won’t come as much surprise, mind - having been last to market with its first Xbox, the company was first to market in the next generation.

Now the real questions we all want answered are what will it look like? What is going to be inside it? When will it be out? and of course will I have to sell my soul just to afford it? Well, I think we know the answer to that last one at least.

They're all working on their next console, they start the concept phase before they even launch its predecessor. The further ahead they think the more time they have.

yup I agree. I remember watching a Xbox 360 documentary and they said the Xbox 360 project was started right after the launch of the Xbox consoles hit world wide.
