Powering up the Xbox: what"s in store for the next-gen console?

Will Microsoft launch its next-gen Xbox in 2011? There have been a couple of articles recently that have speculated on just that.

TechRadar looks at whether the "Xbox 720" will feature a return to Intel chips, the inclusion of a Blu-ray drive, and more storage than you can ever fill.

A PlayStation 4 and potential "Xbox 720" could arrive as early as 2011, estimates Crytek president and CEO Cevat Yerli. Industry analyst Colin Sebastian agrees, suggesting that "the general consensus amongst industry professionals is that a new generation of home consoles will arrive on the market in 2011 or 2012."
