    XD, 2013? if some of it will be true, than not the year. maybe Holiday 2013....
    No leaked pictures, designing and developing an new console take abit time. But, I realy hope the next person will make a awesome Xbox (3).
    Dont change the name, I like "Xbox".
    Have fun :D

    So what you are saying is that you won't care about the Xbox 3 unless it is backwards compatible with the Dreamcast 2?

    They just need to get rid of that shite MetroUI on the 360 and the NextBox (if the UI is still around by then...I hope not).

    I just hope you can configure windows 8 to boot to the Desktop and skip the Metro UI all together I want none of it.

    I bet this williams is the same that came up with the dumb idea of launching two new Xboxs at the same time, one for gamers and one for casuals

    After all she was behind the metroUI dashboard

    Didnt she heard nobody is buying those windows phones?

    Not that the UI is bad, but there's no point in trying to create product convergence if the product you are emulating is nowhere near popular

    ^ Emma Williams is a lady. Oh and the Metro UI does indeed suck.

    Moving towards a social gaming internet centered platform, guaranteed. Plus they want to avoid the RROD debacle of the 360 launch, could be one of the reasons they're getting someone new to head design.

    RRODs are what you get when you outsource the case to one group, the internals to another, and the software to another, and always use the cheapest contractor you can find

    Unless they do it all in-house its going to happen again
