Develop reports that manufacturers of chips and software middleware companies expect the next Xbox will be announced at E3 2013, with a launch following in time for the holidays. This would be a similar ad-to-launch chronology of the Xbox 360, which was revealed just six months until the console hit retail in November 2005.
The report also indicates that Lionhead is already in the work on "Next Fable" for the upcoming console. Various other houses of development, including the EA and Crytek, were also rumored to have preliminary material development.
