Is a New Xbox (“Xbox Next”) Coming in 2013?

Develop seems to be on a roll today.  Just earlier they reported that the PS4 was in the works, and now we have news of a new Xbox that may be titled the ‘Xbox Next‘.

Multiple sources across the industry, from processor chip manufacturers to middleware firms, have told Develop they expect the console to be fully unveiled at E3 2013, months before its release. The collection of data points to a 2013 launch for the system across all main regions, though early 2014 remains a possibility.

They’ve also reported that Lionhead is working on a project named ‘Fable Next’, which will launch alongside the new console.  Reports also say EA already has next gen xbox dev kits in house, but everyone has so far denied these claims… obviously.

Microsoft has refused to comment so until we have anything more solid, this is another one for the rumor mill.

Did you expect a new Xbox or Playstation by 2013?  I’ll reserve my judgement for now.

    They’re taking bloody forever to come out with a new system, way longer than older systems would. They’re just milking the crap out of it, and holding back the potential of future gaming. They need an update…especially XBOX.

    I think my 360 is still impressing me with what it can put out. The next console should have futureproof streaming technology and some sort of modular upgrade capacity.

    I don’t think that’s true. As it is, the limiting factor on what can be done with games seems to be more in the developers than in the actual system. We ate still seeing games that are coming out and pushing what we thought were the consoles limits right out the window.

    That being said, I think the next generation will not and should not be all about graphics. We are already at near photo-realism. If they are going to set the,selves apart, it will have to be through something else. I don’t think we need more motion control gimmicks, or 3D, but those might be a part of it. It’s time for another evolution in gaming…
    And the company that realizes that and can capitalize on it will come out far ahead.

    I honestly think it’s going to end up being something like Tron in the future, which will make things interesting. Virtual reality world? That’d be pretty amazing, don’t you think?

    What I’d like is for the CONSOLE to be UPGRADEABLE, thus never having to buy a new one, just buying newer video-cards and such..
