Xbox One Will you buy Xbox 720?

I know for sure I will. I have already started saving and so far I have $300. I decided not to pre-order it and I would be getting it a month after it comes out because usually when new devices come out it can be faulty.

The problem with graphics right now is not so much that they can't be improved but instead: would developers/publishers be willing to have the huge budget required to make games with better graphics? Isn't making games extremely expensive as it is? Imagine if they made a game that looked like Final Fantasy XIII's pre-rendered cutscenes (which are gorgeous... on the PS3, 360 version has crappy artifacts on those cutscenes due to compression). The budget would be ridiculous and they might have a hard time breaking even at the current price of $60. It would make devs/pubs push even more crappy DLC tactics than they do right now...

Game prices would sky rocket and that would make gamers unhappy. But also visually, the more they pile in with the graphics, the less gaming people will be able to handle visually. I think if your customers visually begin to become hampered because your games are becoming overloaded with graphics, you might wanna think about that before tweaking anything.

How can game graphics improve over where they're already at though? Today's games graphics wise are pretty much flawless. Player control is still an issue in some games but that's because movements and such have become more complex from the base of game design. But graphics I think at this point, can't really be improved too much beyond where they currently reside, to be noticeable and have folks run out and get another console.

Graphics still have a lot of room for improvement, although this upcoming gen isn't going to be vastly better than this one. That being said, also consider processing power and RAM; the new machines will not only produce graphics that look slightly better than the ones now, but there will also be the possibility of more on-screen polygons.

I was totally gonna comment on processing power on my previous post and forgot to. Processing power is really important! Man, I would love it if Borderlands 3 didn't have loading screens for each area, for example! Dead Rising 3 could also have many more zombies, too! All those kinda things that more processing power would make possible.

I might just stick with the 360 only because I've had it for about a year and haven't had too much time with it yet. I wouldn't want to go straight and buy another one just because it's 720 instead of 360. But it also depends if my friends get it or not. If a whole bunch of them get it... chances are that I will to I'm horrible when it comes to peer pressure

Yes, I so hate those expensive games, especially coming straight out of a new console! Not going to be fun for a couple (or several!) months... But, the graphics should hopefully be worth it....

Yeah but not straight away, I will wait for the price to drop before purchasing.
