With a variety of rumors floating about Windows 8 already over the web, the massive hit gaming console Xbox is rumored to have an upgrade. With the possible announcement coming late this year at E3 2012 in June, with the idea of grabbing headlines ahead of Nintendo’s Wii U, which was shown at E3 2011 and is scheduled to launch sometime before the end of 2012.
According to few reports by some websites, Microsoft and Sony’s successors to the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 could actually be available for the users by the end of 2012, rather than by the end of 2013 as others expected.
Although, it is very unlikely that Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo will all release their next generation game console hardware by the end of this year, which actually means a clash of the titans scenario. But, Microsoft did successfully launch the Xbox 360 in 2005, a mere four years after the launch of the original Xbox which was a huge walk in gaining a strong grip in the gaming console market. And so it is very much possible for Microsoft to release Xbox before Nintendo’s Wii U launch and spoil the party.
