Remember back in January when rumors started leaking out about Microsoft’s next generation follow-up to the Xbox 360, codenamed the “Durango” but generally known as the Xbox 720, unofficially? Back then, among the many technical rumors that may have excited or angered you, it was also said that development kits had been sent out to a bunch of game designers so that they could start playing around with the early version of their next system and start getting an idea for what kind of games they could make in the future.

Nothing has been confirmed (or denied) as of yet, but it appears that someone with some seriously strong (and ballsy) connections has acquired not one, but two of these development kits, and has decided to sell at least one on eBay.

Allow me to start off with a statement: in no way am I personally ready for the next generation gaming consoles to be released in the next year or two. And surely many others share this opinion as well. It feels like we’re just getting to the point where game developers can really optimize the current systems’ abilities, and to start all over again with a new system—especially considering how often we’ve seen hardware failures and other such problems—does not need to be rushed at all.

All of that said, we’ve been hearing many whispers about the next-gen consoles and when they might be released for a while now. Usually there’s nothing behind the rumors, but this week has been different. Numerous reports have found their way out about possible details on Microsoft’s next console—sometimes called the Xbox 720, but not officially titled yet—and if true, they’re sure to face both strong positive and negative criticisms.
