Game System Rumors Spread

Posted on February 21, 2005

Gamers and bloggers are speculating and gossiping (sometimes with legitimate scoop) about what the next versions of game systems, like the Xbox2 and Playstation 3, will be like. A recent GameSpot.com article looks at ongoing web gossip including rumored pictures of mock-ups and rumored features on the next Xbox. While GameSpot.com did label a Playstation 3 mock-up as bogus they were unable to confirm or deny the customizable Xbox 360 gossip recently reported by Kotaku. Kotaku reported that an exclusive source told them the next Xbox will be called the Xbox 360 and the consule "is a sleek silver device worthy of countertop display, and features an inhaled design that turns the harsh angles of the original Xbox into sweeps and curves. The device will also be able to stand upright or on it’s side, much like the Playstation 2. The side of the 360° is dominated by an oversized, back-lit power button called the ring of light, and the rest of the case can be customized with colorful designer face plates that pop on and off." Sounds cool if it's true...
