Next Xbox May Be Slated For 2013, This Is Cool By Me.

If the next Xbox launches in 2013, the 360 will have been kicking around for eight  fucking years. That’s a hell of a generation.

Joystiq:

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. According to  Developsources, 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 monthabout  Alan Wake 2  and other next gen projects. Furthermore, Develop believes that Epic will unveil 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.

Works for me. How about you guys?
