There are some rumors floating around about the next revision of Microsoft's Xbox. It's not surprising that Microsoft has already started developing the next Xbox, but it's very interesting that its chip will be developed in-house. Here are some details from a NY Times story:
One reason for the effort is that Microsoft needs to begin thinking about the next-generation design of its Xbox game console, said Charles P. Thacker, a veteran engineer and Microsoft engineer who will head the Silicon Valley group. Voice recognition may also be an area where the research could play a significant role.
Team Xbox writes in reply:
From 2001’s Xbox, which used standard off-the-shelve parts provided by Intel and nVIDIA, to the Xbox 360, which made use of custom silicon designed by IBM and ATI for Microsoft, it is highly probable that the Xbox 360 successor will feature a higher level of custom hardware to set the console apart from a personal computer.
