Rumortoid: Is an Xbox 720 in the works and could it have such a stupid name?

Via the latest issue of EGM, there’s a rumor flying around the Internet that Microsoft is already working on a videogame for the next generation of the Xbox. No, not the trendy and imbecilic “next gen” that people still think refers to our current consoles, but an actual heir to the Xbox 360.

The word on the street is that the game is a first party sequel that was being developed for the 360, but is being moved to a next generation console. While not uncommon to see titles developed for new consoles years before their release, it is very early indeed for such talk to surface. Could a new Xbox be on the horizon sooner than we think?

When this generation first started and I saw that the Xbox 360 wasn’t perhaps the most advanced machine, one of my predictions for the fledgling new gen was that Microsoft would announce a brand new console to replace the 360 halfway through it. It almost looks like that theory could become a reality, if this rumor is true.

Of course, it IS just rumor, something we don’t often deal with on Destructoid (shut up, we don’t usually) and something I wouldn’t pass off as fact. So, this new console is going to have to show us some tits or GTFO, because it’s mere speculation until something more concrete comes along.
