IGN claims that the next Microsoft Xbox would be six times more powerfull than the current Xbox360 and will best out this year’s Wii U by 20 percent.

The new game console also will have a graphic card, maybe a AMD Radeon HD6670, which offer support for DirectX11, multiple display output, and a Full HD with 3D support.

According to IGN, the current Xbox360 is using the same power graphic chip as the new Wii U.

In additional, rumor saying that the next Xbox is using Windows 9 with the codename “Loop”.

Graphics is one thing, but gameplay is another. Nintendo won the current-generation with its motion sensing Wii Remote controls and plans to disrupt the gaming sector again with its tablet-like controller. Will an Xbox with six times the graphic power be enough to survive the next five to seven years? Or will it be obsolete, as console-sized gaming PCs like Alienware's X51 start becoming the norm?
