videogamenostalgia: New Xbox Won’t Be Coming In 2012 A French Microsoft executive has revealed that the company has no plans to release a new Xbox console in 2012. Microsoft France marketing director, Cedrick Delmas, had this to say when asked about the rumours of a new Microsoft console to be revealed at E3: “We’re in an industry that talks a lot, that likes telling stories. I am not convinced that things will happen this year. The Xbox 360’s cycle is not over at all. The proof is that we haven’t price cut this year. “Afterward, what will happen at E3, it’s still too early to say. What’s certain is that there will be nothing new in 2012. If we wanted to counter Nintendo, we would have to be in a position to release something immediately, and that is not at all the case. “We’re not here to counter Nintendo and they’re not here to fight the other manufacturers. Nintendo has put itself in a different cycle, it’s going forward to its own rhythm, with success as we have seen with the Wii, and now it’s their turn to present their innovation.” Rumours are saying that Microsoft has plans to reveal a new console at E3 and plan to release it in 2013.
