Microsoft hiring staff to design next Xbox

And unexpectedly, they are all at it. Hot on the track of Wii 2 rumors news that Microsoft has begun hiring for employees to work on creating the next Xbox. Obviously, Microsoft planning a new console is as likely as bears doing their business in woods, but still, it is nice to understand they’re thinking ahead.

Users at the Beyond3D forums discovered Microsoft was advertising on LinkedIn for a Graphics Hardware Architect to aid with “defining and delivering next-generation soothe architectures from commencement through accomplishment.”

The Seattle firm is also searching for a ‘Performance Engineer and Senior Architect’ for the Xbox Console Architecture Group. The ad DEMANDS that: “You are going to be accountable for the style verification and prerequisite of the Xbox console at the motherboard, component and program levels.”

This informs us little about what the console will likely be, but DigitalFoundry notes how this hints the third Xbox is very, very early in development: “The evidence appears to suggest that the program is in initial stage of development and the graphics hardware at the extreme least has not been locked down.”
