Next Generation Xbox 720 Game Console Design
Advertisement
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.
this is the best thing ever.
if the 720 could hav 3d graphics then that would be sick!
the xbox 720 looks okay but to future teck.old school is better
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
RROD!
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
I usually buy consoles close to release time but the fiasco with the Xbox360 means I wont do that any more (at least with anything made by Microsoft).
Ive had 4 different 360 since launch, 3 RRODed, me and the guys at Xbox support are on a first name basis and hang out on weekends.
If the 720 is anything like the p.o.s. that is the 360 I suggest waiting until at least the 5th revision and even than cross your fingers toes and anything else you have.
I’m feeling that bloodstained controller!
you idiots actually believe that’s what the next xbox will look like. and who said it’ll be called 720. retards.
I agree…… who insisted that it will be called 720 or that this is What it will look like. .. however…. if it looks anything close to this then I think I would be embarrased to have it. It looks like a gay space ship. Wanna chill bro? My new gamer tag would have to be chadbrochill17 and I think ill start wearing water polo shirts with a prefraded hat.
who cares what it will look like why would you spend rent money for something you play sitting on your a.. thats why half the comments are from people who dont even know what a cpu is or a hard drive is its a game console not a naked womenjust sayin new xbox 360 slim very good system not that the older version was alot different but its as good and a few extra traits
ps4 rulles xbox720 stinks ittl look lik xbox360 i saw it and ps4 is a touch screen! very cool
if it ends up looking like that then damn, microsoft will have to get their act straight, also it better not be called 720.
@bbbb
You’ve gotta be the biggest idiot I’ve seen here. You couldn’t have seen the new consoles yet unless you’re on the desing team or you’re Bill Gates. And since you’re promoting PlayStation you are not either of those.
Why would a console have a touch screen?? That’s for phones and tablets. Either way, the TV would be touch screen, not the console. Not to mention the stupidity of having to stand up and touch the TV. I’ll stick with a Dualshock design controller.
there,s no way the xbox is going to look like that its too small and they would have too many problems looks like that thing would overheat an hour into turning it on. and as far as the name goes 720 is a pet name people have given it NOT REAL furthermore i have a 360 and i have had this same console for 2 years play at leased 2-3 hours daily never had a prob with it so i don’t get it when people say its a terrible system not to mention the last play station i bought tuned into a paper weight any way happy holidays to all
A friend showed me the red design he was under the impression this was the next Xbox lol.
Anyhow in all practicality none of these are going to cut it.
Why??….1 word heat!
The 360 was much smaller than the original xbox and look at it’s failure rate from guess what?….HEAT!
Rule of thumb next gen = faster hardware ..Faster Hardware = more heat.
Of course water cooling could easily solve this but on the consumer end this would kill us the water cooling alone would cost about $200 more on top of the new hardware.
i think it is diff that make it better and as long as it comes out with blue-ray it would sell more then the ps3
xbox 360 its good xbox 370 is bad
WHY the fudge would you think this is the real thing?? microsoft would be RETARDED to make something like this….read the caption, it sais suggestions of what it might look like…ditititiditi…and ps4 will NOT have a touch screen i can tell you that and the “720″ is gunna have to put motion sensoring remotes like the will because of all these little 10 year old kids ruining the games like bfbadcompany and black ops and mw2…stop being NOOBS!!
Do some of you guys seriously think this is going to be the console? Designs like this are not even realistic looking. The next console will look like a console, not an alien device from a movie.
It looks like the spaceship from Metroid.
