"Microsoft and industry partners are working towards a 2013 launch of the next generation Xbox", Develop reports. Microsoft's next console likely to be revealed at E3 2013.
 Multiple sources across the industry, from processor chip manufacturers to middleware firms, have told Develop they expect the console to be fully unveiled at E3 2013, months before its release. The collection of data points to a 2013 launch for the system across all main regions, though early 2014 remains a possibility.
Few in the games business expect Xbox Next to be in stores before the holiday side of 2013 – this Christmas and the next will likely see Microsoft marketing software for Xbox 360, Windows Phone and its Kinect motion controller.
Develop also suggests that Lionhead is already at work on "Fable Next" while various other development houses, including EA and Crytek, have also been rumored to have preliminary development hardware.
Microsoft has declined to comment.
