No New Xbox At E3

March 15, 2012

That's right folks…there will be no new Xbox for the media to fawn over at E3 2012, so go on ahead and stop the rumor mill. (Ha! I almost believed that would work.) So what will Microsoft be showing off at this year's E3? Games, Kinect, and more games!

Per his statement to GameInformer, Ryan James, Group PR Manager for Microsoft Studios said:

While we appreciate all the interest in our long-range plans for the future, we can confirm that there will be no talk of new Xbox hardware at E3 or anytime soon.

For us, 2012 is all about Xbox 360—and it’s the best year ever for Xbox 360. The console is coming off its biggest year ever—a year in which Xbox outsold all other consoles worldwide.

There will be no PlayStation 4 at E3 2012 either, so we can most likely assume that Sony's E3 agenda will be Vitatastic. Nintendo will be the only one to show off new hardware yet again. Hopefully this year, they will actually have some decent games to show along with it.

I've been a writer since I was five, but I came to the gaming realm a little late--post college. However, I've well made up for that ever since I took over my husband's PlayStation 2. I've been writing about and reviewing games since 2005, and can currently be found writing for P laystation LifeStyle and Strategy Guide Reviews on a regular basis.

I'm a professional writer and aspiring yoga teacher by day, but a I'm a game-loving, comic-reading, fantasy book-obsessing geek 24-hours a day.
