Microsoft is reportedly coming out with a new Xbox game console next year, two years ahead of schedule.
The next Xbox is planned for Christmas of 2013, according to Bloomberg.
Microsoft won’t say anything about it. But in the past they said they didn’t expect to have a new version of the Xbox until 2015 so gamers everywhere will be happy to hear this.
The Xbox 360, which came out in 2005, has been one of Microsoft’s solid success stories.
As of September of this year, 70 million Xbox 360 consoles have been sold worldwide.
