Microsoft has stirred the pot a little bit today, throwing up a countdown to a major announcement at this year's E3 trade show in June.
Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb, Microsoft's director of programming for Xbox Live, posted the countdown to his very popular blog and Twitter feed earlier today.
There was little to accompany the countdown except for the words "Countdown to E3 2013" and "And it's on..."
Microsoft will have its E3 presentation on June 11th, in which the big announcement will be revealed.
While of course there is a chance that there is no new Xbox coming, the timing is right as the console has long been expected to be made available for the holiday season.
The rumored device will have a Blu-ray drive, Kinect 2, 3D sound, "always on" standby mode like ultrabooks and eventually augmented reality glasses.
