The Rumor Mill: Microsofts Next-Gen Console to be Six Times as Powerful as Xbox 360?

Rumors of next-gen consoles shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone in the gaming community as we all want to know what the successors to our favorite consoles such as the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and the Wii will be. The latest next-gen console rumor comes from popular gaming website IGN.  IGN reports that the next-gen Xbox or the "Xbox 720" will ship to retailers around October or November of 2013 and will be "Six Times" as powerful as the current Xbox 360.

According to IGN sources "mass production of the system's GPU will indeed begin by the end of 2012 but will not, however, be based on AMD's 7000 series Southern Islands GPU" Once again this is just a rumor until proven and i'm taking this with a grain of salt as well. I'm not really a Microsoft die-hard like some of my fellow writers on the site so i'm not really too keen on all of this information, but I would like to see some next-gen goodness in action no matter who it's from.
