You have definitely heard of the famous Xbox 360, haven’t you? But what’s with an Xbox 720? Is it something that’s unknown to you? No worries, it was not known to me either about 5 minutes back and is something that I just came across, following my daily routine of searching the web for some cool gizmos.
Nah, this isn’t the official Xbox 720 that you can go gaga over. Its just another perspective Xbox mod, or rather a suggestion of what the Xbox 360 would look like in the future. Made by a certain Tai Chiem, this piece of mod is quite futuristic with the skeletonized frame and the acrylic cover, giving it a UFO like feel. The mod sports the Xbox emblem on the cover and the power and the reset buttons are in the front, with the Microsoft logos on the sides. I am not sure about the placement of the CD-Rom, though. The mod design looks plush with the matte finish given to it and is made in color hues of classic red, green and blue and a combination of black and silver.
Although cool, I am not sure whether Microsoft is gonna even consider this design; it’s not because this design is lacking anything, its just that I don’t think Microsoft has a good eye for creativity. I mean, the regular Xbox 360 has no looks to hype about; there are far better Xbox 360 mods available, that make up for the lack of luster and plush feeling of the classy console, don’t you agree?

In all honesty that’s an incendiary piece of design right there; it’s really polarised the opinions of everyone that’s seen it so far and fair play. To hell with practicality, that’s not what a concept should be about – just look at the funky asse concept cars the world’s seen over the past few decades. Obviously this would not be practical – not unless microsoft are now intending to bankrupt themselves on unnecessary decoration. Building and marketting a new console is a loss leader, everytime and no company is going to make that burden unnecesarily worse. Here’s to the future – Problems are just Solutions waiting to be Found.

Can they make one that will work for over 3 years?

Surely in the 2-7 year timeline the 2 most valid options will be either online gaming services with no equipment requirement such as the forthcoming onlive or for the more hardcore less cost concerned gamer PC gaming.? The next generation of consoles launched are going to be launching into a very different type of market against solutions provided which zero capital cost. This is the first serious threat to the spread of console gaming that the industry has had to deal with. Personally I have had an Xbox in the cupboard since I tried playing oblivion on it a couple of weeks after buying it. But for people that dont mind the limitations of a console why would you need to have a physical piece of hardware (known for its failure rate) in your living room if you dont have too and can still enjoy a similar gaming experience.?

This xbox 720 looks epic.
It’s the best design I ever saw.
And seriously, i’d defiantly buy it only cause of the way it looks.
All my friends love it, I’m sure lots of people would purchase it .. as soon as they see this design!
I seriously recommend this design!
10/10!

I think the xbox 720 should be a ball. that system just doesnt look like a game system at all. In my personal opinion i think it looks stupid. It would look a lot cooler as a round ball
