[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5775343, member: 8835"] I'd heard fall 2012 for new xbox, but I have no facts to back that up. With over a year away, they'd be more likely to announce at next CES than this CES or E3. Another factor to this is Apple. Apple has proven that you do not need to announce at a general tech fair. Instead, you hold your own event and announce there. Additionally, Apple doesn't allow much lead before launch. They announce maybe a few weeks before product launch. Microsoft is probably moving this way. Using their own events that map to their schedule, rather than big annual conferences like CES which do not align with their roadmap timeline. Anyway, based on the timeline of past machines, it looks like Xbox-Next in Novmber 2012, and PS4 in January 2013. I could be off by a couple months just because of internal issues, or like the iPhone 4s, the japanese Tsunami pushed it from a July to fall release. But I suspect we will see new consoles around that time as actual products, not just announcements. Feel free to mark that on your calendar and mock me on this thread if I am wrong. My guess is based on public launch patterns and basic industry knowledge and not any insider info or internet rumor. [/QUOTE]
