RePLAY: Yet another new Xbox rumor, Mojang’s Minecraft makes bank and Namco-Bandai releases a baffling teaser
site.
Another week, another
Xbox rumor from yet another anonymous source: this time from Reddit user “MSnerd”
who claims that the next Xbox is not a next-gen console but rather a basic
system that plays Arcade-style games and media apps with the Kinect.
According to MSnerd,
the new Xbox will be an “ARM-based platform” that is “price competitive” with
Apple TV. Like other sources, MSnerd predicts the system will be released in
late 2013.
MSnerd notes that
there is a successor to the 360 in the works, but details are “very hazy”
beyond the fact that it will cater towards “core-audiences” and be able to play
the same Kinect media apps.
Rovio’s Angry Birds may have a 700 million
download head start, but Mojang’s Minecraft
is catching up financially with $80 million in earnings since October 2010; in
contrast to Rovio’s $100 million in revenues last year.
Minecraft
is still nowhere close to Angry Birds’ massive downloads, but the financial reports prove that Mojang’s flagship
title has a bright future ahead.

Namco-Bandai has
opened up yet another teaser site that leaves much to the imagination: it’s a
giant, pulsing black X behind a black background.
…wait, what?
It’s currently unknown
if this site has any relation to the Sega and Capcom collaboration or if it’s a
new title entirely.
Namco-Bandai continues
to troll the internet with these sites that only tells us that they’re working
on… something.
