Rumors suggest Microsoft may pull a Sony and show off the successor to the Xbox 360 at its own event, instead of at E3, the biggest video game trade show of the year.
A new report coming from The Verge says that Microsoft is readying an Xbox branded set-top box to compete with Apple TV, Boxee and others. This Xbox branded, erm, box will be part of a two-SKU strategy. The second SKU will be the next generation Xbox we reported on last week.
Xbox World magazine has broken details on the next Xbox, which is presumably set to debut at next year's E3. The print outfit's cover story (their last) has unsurprisingly been scalped by the Internet, and there are specs, details, and mockups for the next Xbox, codenamed: Durango.
