Next Xbox Console to be Announced at E3 2011?

[Commander Fury]

 

Microsoft might announce their next console at E3 2011, if a source close to Develop is to be*believed. *According to*Develop.net, EA developers has a dev kit of the next gen Xbox 360 successor.

 

According to them, the next Xbox console is being tested and played around with by an unamed EA studio, which was sent to them last month. It’s apparently a very early build of the console, and doesn’t have a case yet, with the system being stored in a PC shell. However, the hardware is present in its*entirety.

 

“Quite often when new consoles come around they’re packaged into a PC shell, but actually what’s inside is an entirely new console,†said the person Develop called a “senior, trusted, well-placed,†source.

 

Although, Eurogamer has responded to this report, stating that a E3 2011 announcement is “highly unlikelyâ€

 

Sources close to Gamersmint suggest that this might be the announcement of a new Xbox 360 SKU, with Kinect in-built, rather than the next console in Microsoft’s console-cycle.

 

However, considering that Nintendo is going to reveal their next-gen console at the event, Microsoft might have taken this decision at short notice.

 

E3 2011 takes place in June, and we’ll know for sure only then.
