Subject: Bloomberg Source: Microsoft will Release Next Gen Xbox in 2013

Link to Story

According to unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, Microsoft is set to launch its successor to the Xbox 360 in time for the holidays next year. The report states Microsoft is still undecided about whether or not the company will unveil the console at E3 or a separate, dedicated event.

Microsoft has declined to comment on the report.

Previous rumors suggested the codename of the console is "Durango" and will likely ship with the next-generation Kinect camera. Other rumors say the console may tie your game purchases to your Xbox Live account, effectively locking out used games.


Looking more and more likely.

Yeah, sorry. I usually do the Story Link at the end, so it got mixed up when vice versa.

Rumors are rumors, but if you continually hear the same thing from multiple sources (Holiday Release), it appears to be more likely.

That, and the fact that Destiny is said to launch on both the 360 and next Xbox at relatively the same time.

Isn't this the 100th rumor to suggest the same thing? Besides, what good is a new console unless there are games to go along side it?

What good is it having a new console without games? If there are developers working on games for the new console, we would have heard about this by now.

Rumor is rumor.

Personally I thought it would have been brilliant if they released it with halo 4. As a bundle they could have included a copy of halo CEA. IE they should have released it this year.

I doubt it, they would be stupid to not make halo 5 a launch title. The only way I can see them releasing it is if sony also plans to release ps4.

  • 11.29.2012 5:39 PM PDT

im excited.

Why does Halo 5 have to be a launch title? You don't blow your load of games on release day. There are people that, no matter what, will buy this console.

The promise of Halo 5 is more than enough to sustain the console for a year or two. Forza 5, something from Rare, and Lionhead will be what the console starts with in its freshman year.

I apologize in advance for all the crappy jokes I make.

Wow, a rumor about Xbox 720? I have certainly never heard that one before!

Durango sounds stupid. I like Xbox 720 better. An even better name would be the Xbox Infinite.
