Analysts have been weighing in on Microsoft's likely strategy for its next console, nicknamed Xbox 720. Speaking to IndustryGamers, experts from EEDAR, M2 Research, RW Baird and DFC Intelligence have been busy predicting the company's next move.

Speculation is growing concerning how Microsoft will handle advances in cloud-based gaming, as demonstrated by services like Gaikai and OnLive.

But the technology has a long way to go before it can be embraced wholeheartedly by major console players. And while Microsoft has already announced cloud saves for this generation of consoles, it is widely believed the firm is not ready to completely abandon disc and hard-drives.


Billy Pidgeon, an analyst at M2 Research said, "I don't expect vendors to leave physical media formats out of next-generation consoles. Cloud gaming services can't yet allow access on a scale to realize their inherent disruptive potential. I agree with Microsoft's assertion that cloud-based game delivery as a replacement for physical media is in the long term future."

DFC Intelligence analyst David Cole said, "The Xbox 720 should definitely have some sort of access for physical media. The cloud stuff can open up new doors and Microsoft's strategy is all about delivering services via the box, basically it has been somewhat of a cloud strategy from the beginning. But games are entertainment and this means you need the physical presence. We can just look at the mob at retail last week as a sign of its importance. When Microsoft talks about the cloud technology in Xbox 720 I think it is often more the business/technology side versus the entertainment/marketing side."

Colin Sebastian of RW Baird added, "Any smart console manufacturer will want to offer a mix of distribution points for consumers - both in the cloud and at retail stores. There is such a broad spectrum of games that consumers are playing, and there is not a one-size fit all solution."

EEDAR's Jesse Divnich said, "The digital transition will be just that, a transition, and neither Microsoft nor Sony will force consumers to go 100% digital. The digital transition will ultimately be at the choice of the consumer and Microsoft and Sony will continue to support physical media until the mass market has reached the tipping point of acceptance on digital I'd expect the Xbox 720, or whatever they choose to call it, will act as a true hybrid console, supporting both physical and digital media with the long-term hopes that they can provide enough incentive and value to accelerate that transition."

分析家已经在猜测微软为下一代主机（俗称xbox720）所制定的战略。据IndustryGamers称，EEDAR, M2 Research, RW Baird 和 DFC Intelligence的专家正在忙着预测微软的下一步行动。

这些猜测正在**到微软怎么利用云计算游戏的优点，就像Gaikai与OnLive现在做的一样。

但是现在的云计算游戏要达到支持核心玩家还有很长一段路要走。所以当微软在360上宣布支持云计算存档时，人们都认为下一代主机不会完全放弃硬盘和光驱。

来自 M2 Research 的砖家Billy Pidgeon说：“我不认为供应商会在下一代主机上放弃物理格式，云计算游戏服务还没有显示出它破坏性的潜能（对传统媒介）。我同意微软对于云计算游戏代替物理媒介游戏将在“很长一段时间以后”的观点。

DFC Intelligence 的分析家David Cole认为“720肯定会支持某种物理介质，云服务可以作为为微软经过xbox传送服务的一项新战略，基本上这只是新战略的一个开端，但是游戏是一种娱乐（非服务），这意味着需要物理介质。上星期零售商的抗议是一个重要的信号。我认为微软在720上加入云技术更多是从商业/技术的角度而不是娱乐/市场的角度。”

RW Baird 的Colin Sebastian 补充道：“聪明的主机制造商将提供多种终端给消费者，云端和零售商端。玩家的范围如此广阔，不会有一种方式满足所有情况。”

EEDAR的Jesse Divnich 说：“这是一种数字化变革，但是微软和索尼都不能强迫消费者接受100%的数字化。数字化变革最终取决于消费者的选择。而索尼微软都将继续支持物理媒介直到大部分的市场达到接受数字化媒介。我希望720是一种混合支持数字与物理媒介的主机，希望这样能证明数字化的价值并促进这种变革。“
