Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

I don't really care about what bungie is gonna do, because they ruined halo big time. But I'm really excited for the new xbox, because I'm pretty sure it's gonna be announced at E3 this year.
No, I can almost guarantee you that it won't.
First of all, Microsoft has explicitly said that the Xbox 360 is scheduled to have a much longer lifespan than the 5 year cycle we've come to expect.
Second, the Kinect is clearly meant to extend the lifespan of the system by offering new "innovation" without an all-new console. MS would only release a new console so soon if the Kinect project had failed, which sales numbers imply that it has not. (10 mil+ units is not extraordinary, but it is respectable.)
Finally, MS just began ramping up their engineering and design staff a few months ago. I doubt they've come up with a demonstration-ready unit already.
Edit: Forgot to reply to the topic. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if we see a teaser trailer from Bungie at this E3. I hope they do it separately from Activision, though, because their previous publisher (whom you may have heard of once or twice) really screwed us towards the end of the relationship, by essentially taking away Bungie's ability to decide announcement strategies in any way.
