Despite rumours last week of a possible new Xbox console reveal at E3 this year, analysts believe it's more likely to be revealed the following year.
 
In a report from Bloomberg today David Dennis, a company spokesman said that Microsoft won't be discussing new hardware and certainly not revealing anything at this year's electronic expo.
 
“There will be no talk of new Xbox hardware at E3 or anytime soon,” Dennis wrote today in an e-mailed statement. He declined to say when Microsoft would release the next model. “For us, 2012 is all about Xbox 360.”
 
The release of a new console may impact Kinect sales, one of Microsoft's most successful peripherals in the gaming space.
 
In addition to this the current console is still making money, and our favourite analyst Michael Pachter said  “I don’t think the world needs them to put a new console out just because we’re bored.”
