ATI working with MS on 3rd-gen Xbox ?

M

multi-core

even before Xbox 360's rollout later this November, could Microsoft
and ATI already be planning the development of the 3rd-generation of
Xbox? which will not be seen until the turn of the decade, in 2010 or
there about. the graphics technology that will power the future-gen
Xbox (which will replace Xbox360) does not even exist yet, not even on
paper, but in the minds of ATI and MS graphics architects. MS will
want to stay with ATI for many reasons, including full backwards
compatibility with Xbox 360 games.

I'm looking forward to my new Xbox 360 and games - but at the same
time, I'm hoping Microsoft and its partners make something absolutely
knock-out for the next-next gen of gaming.

Nice marketing hype, Microsoft

So you take some random person's comments as being offical 'marketing hype'
from Microsoft - way to go. Don't go believing everything you read on the
Internet will you.

That's nothing... Sony's been thinking about the Playstation 9 for 5
years now.

Only 73 more years to go! W00t!

it doesn;t appear and it isn't in my sent box... oh well.

Miyamoto already has enough games to fill a room 1000 Mario, Metroid, Zelda,
Kirby, Pokemon, etc and so on titles rehashed for the past 20 years from him

No where near the level that Nintendo does/has.
Sony, MS and other developers are constantly coming up with new
characters/titles/genres.
Nintendo lives on past success are rarely come up with anything new.
This is why Sony and MS are leaving them in the dust.
Nintendo fails to realize those of us that have grown up playing their games
are no longer kids.

just plain wrong.

I don't know if it's plain wrong but it can definitely be argued.
one thing is for sure, MS and Sony move with the times while Nintendo stands
still
