Rumor: Next Xbox slated for 2013
Attachment 3600
With Nintendo revealing its Wii U console at E3 2011, many speculated that Microsoft would be pressured to unveil the next Xbox at the next E3 in 2012.
Quote:
According to
Develop sources, we might have to wait a little bit longer, until 2013 to be precise. The site reports that various sources "from processor chip manufacturers to middleware firms" are expecting an E3 2013 reveal of the console, followed by a launch later in the year, though it could be as far away as early 2014.
Apparently Lionhead is busy working on a project named "Fable Next," for the new console, which certainly doen't seem like a stretch. It also gels with a
report earlier this month about
Alan Wake 2 and other next gen projects. Furthermore, Develop believes that Epic will unveil a new Unreal Engine before 2014, the date
recently predicted by CEO Tim Sweeney. Finally, sources still seem to believe that EA is already in possession of development tools for the next Xbox, despite the publisher
claiming otherwise.
Our prediction? The Xbox 1080 will be announced by Microsoft next week. The unit will feature an integrated Kinect sensor and will support PlayStation 4 emulation using a
heavily modified version of
Bleem.

I know a new console has to happen sooner or later. But it seems silly on Microsoft's part to announce the next Xbox around Halo 4's release, which will be on the 360.
But the serious question that has yet to be answered. When the new console does inevitably drop, will the haven move on to the next gen? Or will it stay here? I'm in support of 720haven.com being a reality.

Re: Rumor: Next Xbox slated for 2013
As much as I'm looking forward to the next generation and what it will bring (Especially after seeing Epic's new tech), and although the 360 has been showing it's age as of late, I really still feel like the 360 has a lot of life left in it. Maybe it's just me but..

It's not just you. The 360 games are only getting better, prettier, and more fun. The ol' girl still has some fight in her.
Re: Rumor: Next Xbox slated for 2013
The next Xbox will be available on the market in 2014-2015
Re: Rumor: Next Xbox slated for 2013
I,m looking forward to the new XBOX
Re: Rumor: Next Xbox slated for 2013
Next year at E3 2012 M$ will announce the new console, so then we'll see the release date, design and maybe specs. Now enjoy 360' and 360heaven for patches, saves and mod-tools.
