Even though this is in no way an official report from Microsoft, it does help to put to rest the rumors of a 2012 release for the next-generation Xbox console. Sources close to IGN have told them that the next Xbox will start shipping to retailers in October or November of 2013. It's also supposedly being built with a mighty fine GPU.
The sources claim that the GPU will come from the AMD 6000 series (released in 2011,) which would be roughly "six times as powerful as current gen" consoles. The AMD 6000s are similiar to the Radeon HD 6670. Based on this, we can assume that the next Xbox will support DirectX11, 1080p HD, multi-display output, and 3D.
For next-gen comparisons sake, this rumored AMD 6000 GPU will make the next-gen Xbox roughly 20% more powerful than the Wii U. So now the question is....what will Sony bring to the next-gen table?
