Report: New Xbox to Launch in 2013

**Raptorian** · 21-10-11, 03:51 AM

While previous rumors hinted at a 2012 reveal for the next Xbox, new reports indicate that it may be held off until 2013. Develop has heard from multiple industry sources, including chip manufacturers and middleware firms, that the console's reveal will come at E3 2013, with a late 2013 launch to follow.

The launch would likely be simultaneous for all territories, but that doesn't necessarily rule out a 2014 release in some countries. The initial launch is expected to come by the 2013 holiday season, but few analysts expect it to come any earlier than that.

Develop also reports on several other rumors that lend credibility to an upcoming console launch. Namely that Lionhead Studios is currently working on a project known internally as Fable Next, which is expected to launch on a new console. Another source reports that EA has rudimentary next-generation console technology already (which EA has denied).

there must be 5 to 6 titles on launch date and that also takes time

Hmm...2013/14 release + 1 year in hacking (if possible) +1 year for price dropping cause i remember 360 was 45 to 50k when it was newly released in Pakistan ...so 2015 tak wait ho sakta ha..Kafi time hai..

My opinion to microsoft and sony release their next gen consoles in the end of 2014

I thought we'd have the Next Box on the market by early 2013 and a reveal on next year's E3.But if they wanna hold it off I'm not gonna complain.

2013 is fine! I am happy with that!

I bought the box in summer of 2009 and i think it's early that they are releasing it that quick (for me personally),i had 2 years of awesome gaming i wish they would have planned to release it in 2015,they introduced kinect and they should be focusing on itmaking it more accurate and more worthy.They need not rush for a new console,the box will easily go upto 2015 if it's not about the visuals though.

I hope its not true its rumor. I really wish to see reveal at 2012 and launch at initial 2013. This is too long to wait.. Gamedevelopers reach to the limit in these current gen consoles and start asking for next gen. Please m$ make it quick..

Waisay I honestly think that 2012 is the ideal time to release the next-gen consoles, as the current gen consoles are already losing the battle against the PC ... 2013 is quite late, and 2014 is like wayyyyy to late !!
