I dont think it will have 8 controller ports but it will probably have lots of USB ports to plug in controllers and pererphial devices. I say that cuz of the XNA stuff and how they want to have all the next gen PC and microsoft consoles be compatible with each other. As of names I've heard of a few like Xenon. I would like to see backwards compatibility! Microsoft if your listening i have two words: BACKWARDS COMPATABILITY. I also want to see it spit out money and gold plated bannans for me to eat!
since the first one looked like an old vcr, i expect this to look like a first-gen dvd player.
it'll hopefully be smaller, better controller setup, and doesn't require a remote to watch dvd's on it.

Lol, that would only set consumers back a few thousand dollars.
i think it'll probably be heavy as hell, have 4 controller ports, ethernet port, some USB ports, and if it doesnt have a hard drive, the memory cards better not cost alot or i'll be pissed off and have to kick a midget in the ball sack.
I hope it comes in assorted pastel colors to appeal to its target demographic of 8-10 year old girls.I mean, that is what Microsoft is going for, right?
