Pretty much everyone assumes that we're going to see the next Xbox during the fall of 2013, and possibly the next Playstation as well. Financial news behemoth Bloomberg has now put their reputation on the line predicting the launch of the next Xbox.
"Microsoft ... will release the next version of its Xbox video-game machine, the top-selling console, in time for the holidays next year, according to people familiar with the company's plans."
"The new device is planned for Thanksgiving and Christmas sales, said the people, who declined to be identified because the product road map is confidential. The software maker hasn't decided whether to unveil the new Xbox at an industry event such as the E3 show in June, or a separate event devoted solely to the machine,"
The last part is interesting as it suggests that Microsoft are considering sidestepping E3 for the announcement.
