Didn't microsoft already release a statment about a TBA 2013 will be the next xbox and that they have already started working on it ???? so you still have 2 more years.

Microsoft has hired people to work on their new console. There have also been rumors they are waiting until 2014 to make a new console. If they were sending SDKs to developers now, even if it releases in 2013, developers need a lot of time to make new games.

i'll say 2013. 2014 seems really late to be honest.

But if this was true do you think EA would say "Yah, Microsoft sent us the SDK for there new console"? If this was true microsoft would want to keep it a secret. With microsoft trying to push kinect right now i can't see this happening, but anything could be possible.

No one is gonna know for sure. Even if they do set a future date what's to keep it from being pushed back and delayed like Mass Effect 3?

No way its true. I'd say Holiday 2013 at the earliest before we see another Xbox console.

I read that they "might" start working on the console hardware in 2012 and the next xbox would be released in 2015. Who really knows?

Is the current 360 technology old? I don't think so, as games that i've bought in the past year have come with "installable updates required" to play them.

So, in a sense, i feel that this current console is still advancing in "little leaps" without having to revamp or reinvent itself totally.

The existing technology is great, but sadly, only a few brilliant sparks know how to utilise it fully.

I'd say it might come out sometime in 2013 or 14, or even 15 at least.

I don't think anyone can say for sure. One determining factor will be the success of the Wii2. If it truly refreshes the console market, the next 360 could come sooner.

I think the fate of Microsoft's new console is directly related to the success of Kinect.

The more popular / successful Kinect is, the longer MS will wait until releasing a new console.

After all, Microsoft has barely any first-party studios... as long as they continue to sell hardware they're going to milk the 360 as much as they possibly can.

The only reason Nintendo's releasing Cafe in 2012 is because Wii sales are dropping...fast.

Wii consoles are already behind in terms of power/options compared to PS3 or XBOX 360 so a "next gen" nintendo console isn't really much of a threat here.

No way for 2012. Just wouldn't make sense with the recent launch of Kinect. I'd say holiday 2013. I want to say even 2014, but I don't know if Microsoft (or Sony) wants to give Nintendo a two year head start.

I think 2015 would be way to late. If the wii 2 is more powerful than 360 i think microsoft will need to release sooner so nintendo can't take too much market share, depending on what happens microsoft will probably release in 2014 at the latest, i think they might decide to launch it in late 2013.

You have a point, 2015 does seem a long way away. I'm oblivious to the Kinect vs Wii battle. buti there's still life left for the 360!

Late 2013 sounds about right.

It seems that IGN thinks there may be truth to the rumors about the new Xbox. This article is pretty much speculation, but it does make a point.

I think we will see the new console before 2014.

I seriously doubt that they will even talk about it at E3 2011. No chance.
