A forwarded news piece about Xbox Next (aka Xbox 2) entered my inbox this evening, and I have to say I'm kind of curious about whether this "leaked" information is truly accurate. It's interesting because the Xbox Next will have a lot of horsepower under the hood but will probably be lacking a hard drive and backwards-compatibility with original Xbox games. Neither of those decisions really make sense to me.
But hey, to be quite frank, I don't even own an Xbox. I have to admit it was my least favourite console while I was writing game reviews for a living and I never went out of my way to get one for myself. Of course, it's very likely that Microsoft and Sony are going to be the ones to push game consoles forward while Nintendo plummets until it's little more than a shadow of itself. After all, the game console business has never really supported more than two consoles at once. Just through reading the history of game consoles, somebody has to drop out of the race.
