Xbox successor almost ready, watch out Project Cafe
According to a source for Develop Magazine, Microsoft is set to reveal its console at E3 to compete with the steadily hype-gathering Project Cafe from Nintendo. Microsoft, according to the source, has been sending development kits to “an unnamed Electronic Arts studio”, among others; the source, Develop says, is “a senior, trusted, well-placed source” and believes that this console will launch by the end of 2012. This is due to “new data” from March that proclaimed Microsoft was working on the Xbox 360 successor’s early development, as well as signs that Microsoft was looking for new talent for the Xbox Console Architecture Group.
Develop Magazine stated that according to the source, the Xbox successor will “feature enhanced support for Kinect with just a couple of alterations”, and is speculated to be revealed earlier to specifically combat Nintendo’s hype machine.

Sony will reveil their next console this e3 as well. That what I heard from the voices in my head. If they don’t announce it_ I will soak my head in water for a whole second.
Okay so I was a year early on my predictions! But I told you the next generation was about to begin!
If Sony does (or CAN for the matter) reveal the PS4 at E3, I’ll be impressed. The quake, the hacks, the crash, Sony’s really USC right now.
