Microsoft's successor to the Xbox 360 will be revealed at E3 2012 and developer Crytek is making a next-generation Timesplitters 4, according to sources speaking to Videogamer.com.
A "high-ranking industry source at Crytek" told the website that while specifications for the next console have not been finalized, Crytek is using Microsoft's DirectX 11 for next-gen development. The source says Microsoft will announce the new Xbox in the next year, likely at E3 2012.
"Crytek believes that Microsoft will announce and launch its new machine ahead of rival Sony, though the developer is also investing resources into next-generation PlayStation development."

I read somewhere that the current generation of consoles will be in production much longer than all previous generations. The technology that went into the consoles was so advanced, they won't go obsolete anytime soon. A new generation of consoles isn't expected until 2013 or '14.
Hell, Sony still sells a lot of Playstation 2.
Nintendo is supposed to come out with a console that will rival or surpass Sony and Microsoft, but Nintendo's fans are two extremes. Either young kids whose parents only let them play family friendly games, and older gamers that are nostalgic for 80s games.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony stuck to that plan but I think Microsoft might attempt to get an earlier start. Sucks for everyone that just bought that Kinect crap. Hopefully it will be compatible with Microsoft's next system.
