The countdown comes about a month after a report from Bloomberg said that Microsoft will unveil a new Xbox console in 2013. The wire service cited unnamed sources familiar with the company's plans, and said the new version — codenamed Durango — will arrive in time for the Black Friday and Christmas shopping crunch.

Maybe there'll be a Half Life 3 announcement! Of course we'll see the next Call of Duty...and hopefully the next Battlefield.

I have a good feeling about 2013 E3!

Maybe expect news on the next PS3.

LOL, you caught me

But wait, the latest generation PS3, the PS3 superslim is still rolling out!

To be honest, the odds of sony announcing the PS4 is much lower than the odds of them announcing a new PS3 Superslim + PS move bundle, or a PS3 Superslim + vita bundle, or just more regions where the PS3 superslim will roll out.

So there won't be much in the bag for Sony this year? Just another release of what is already here.

Its expected, I mean, when the PS3 was released, Sony promised a 10 year lifespan!

Now they are cutting it short

They have enough ingredients now, maybe they will finally make the ultimate set-top box combo and we can stop with the 15 remotes on our coffee tables.

<H1>Xbox 720 Spec Leaks Confirm 8GB RAM, Octa-Core Processor

Apparently there have been some leaks regarding the hardware specifications for the Xbox 720 or Nextbox or the “Durango”. The specs are quite impressive and at least aim to show a system that should be future proof in the gaming space for the next couple of years...as far as console gaming goes.

Allegedly, VG Leaks managed to get their hands on the system specification layout of the “Durango” or Xbox 720. It shows a roadmap of the console's tech under the hood and what gamers can expect from the system, power wise.

well, its all but confirmed, Microsoft would make their move first with the Xbox, Sony will follow later: http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/01/2...ake-first-move

I hope the 360 games will be backwards compatible with the new system. And the ability to transfer savegames from the 360 to the new one. That's where the old xbox and 360 fell flat IMO.

[Cybermat47]

Yeah, I played plenty of Xbox original games on my 360. Just last month I finished Halo 2! I'm hoping that saved-games, achievements and exclusive content will be forwards-compatible this time!

Still, can't wait. We'll see the new Xbox for the first time (and it's pricetag ), all the new games coming out, perhaps even a teaser for Halo 5 and Battlefield 4!

Yes indeed ... Sony has made their move:http://www.hardcoreware.net/playstat...t-amd-a10-apu/

There’s an interesting report coming out of UK based video game blog VG24/7 that Sony has begun shipping new “PlayStation 4″ developer kits, codenamed Orbis, to developers. The most interesting fact coming from this report is that they are based on AMD A10 Trinity APUs (check out our Trinity review if you haven’t yet).

I just happen to have that same AMD A10 Trinity cpu in my pc and I just bought the xbox360 for windows pc controller and it works and looks great and even looks better than the same game on the Xbox360
