Xbox 720 reportedly codenamed 'Durango'

4.4
Multiple sources close to the project claim Microsoft's next Xbox console is codenamed Durango, Kotaku is reporting.

Obviously it's a pretty ridiculous name, and not nearly as cool as Katana, which was the Dreamcast's codename, or Revolution, which is was Nintendo was originally calling Wii.
According a quick Wikipedia search 'Durango' is a settlement in Spain; has been attached to Dodge and Ford cars; the pseudonym of the Probe 16 car featured in A Clockwork Orange; a type of a frisbee game; a Mexican football club; a vessel operated by the Mexican Navy; and an 1999 episode in the Hallmark Hall of Fame. Do with that information what you will...

Earlier this month, Xbox World magazine claimed Microsoft will include a Wii U-like touchscreen controller.

Other rumours have suggested the hardware will support Sony's Blu-ray format and may include measures to prevent second-hand games being played.

What better do they have?


His comment was pointless. Obviously can't recognise a 360 controller when he see's one.

''the hardware will support Sony's Blu-ray format'' that's a pretty cool rumour.


Well obviously the next Xbox won't be using the HD disc format. So the only other thing is Blu-Ray or no Disc at all.

Sorry but in my opinion touch screen controller is dumb, I know that my opinion doesn't matter but I'm just saying, but i do like that codename

Just wait 'til "Wii U" comes out and then "Durango" will simply be a lame copy of it.
Thats the best way to get an idea what to expect.
