Third report claims next Xbox for E3 2012 reveal
June 28, 2011 / 09:27 AM EDT / (@salromano)

Following reports from Develop and Eurogamer, BGR has claimed a “source with knowledge of Microsoft’s plans within the company’s Entertainment and Devices Division” has confirmed Microsoft’s intentions to reveal the successor to the Xbox 360 at E3 2012.

The console has been in development since 2006, according to the source.

Prior reports have claimed EA has the console in-office, and that developer Crytek is crafting TimeSplitters 4 for the platform. One would believe Microsoft has good relations with Crytek due to the creation of Ryse, an upcoming Kinect-exclusive, Microsoft-published fighter in development at the studio.

To date, Xbox 360 has sold over 54.4 million units since its launch in November 2005.

    I still think its too early for new consoles, but a new Xbox being announced next year would make sense, there’ arent too many 360 exclusives to talk about, so perhaps microsoft are saving them all for the new xbox.

      @Blackmage456: Me too. I like my money in my wallet. But hopefully an announcement at E3 2012 means the earliest it will launch is in mid 2013, which isn’t so bad.

        @Sal Romano:
        Sure cause if we analise the numbers, new consoles for 2013 will mean this should be the longest generation (8 years its reallly a long period of time) and i think the key for this succes its the fact that the 3 majors platforms are doing really well in the market now, so nobody its really eager for replace his machine, maybe Nintendo for obvious reasons its the one pushing the button.

    I don’t like hear this news…I think that the gameplay footage that we have at 360 and PS3 is almost CG. How a new machine can improve this and make the real diference?
