Next-gen consoles as of 2012?

Posted on Thursday, 17 November 2011 by Speed, source: Edge
There's been plenty of rumours regarding the successors to the PS3 and the Xbox 360 already, but now the rumour floats around we may already see them late next year.

According to Edge, Ubisoft Montreal is already working on 'target boxes' based on the intended specifications of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 successor, while they also announce that one major Sony studio has officially halted PS3 development and is now completely focusing on the next generation.
Ubisoft’s teams are said to be working on PCs containing off-the-shelf components provided by Microsoft, and it’s our understanding that several other major developers, including certain EA studios, are also in possession of these target boxes. While our source was unable to share precise specifications, it is believed that AMD is providing the bespoke GPU solution for Microsoft’s console.

We can also reveal that one major Sony-owned studio has now ceased PlayStation 3 development, its entire focus having shifted to the console’s successor. The studio is also said to have been involved in the development process of the graphics technology adopted by Sony’s new hardware.
Edge suggests that both companies are readying their next consoles for showing them off already late 2012, to make sure the Wii U won't be able to gain momentum.
Wii U has been positioned to developers as a suitable home for Xbox 360 and PS3 ports, and putting new consoles on shelves next year could leave Nintendo scrambling for thirdparty support. Reports this week claim that Microsoft could announce its console at CES in Las Vegas in January; Nintendo is not to reveal the finalised Wii U hardware until E3 in June.
Although Edge's reasoning does sound plausible, one shouldn't forget that recently 343 Industries made it clear that Halo 4 would be released on Xbox360 still. And would Microsoft release a new title for its main franchise on the Xbox360 with a successor looming around the corner? Very doubtful.
