EA: new Xbox rumours "total fabrication"
"100 per cent not true."EA has dismissed a report claiming that it is already working with dev kits for the Xbox 360's successor.
Corporate spokesman Jeff Brown told IndustryGamers, "This story is a total fabrication – 100 per cent not true."
Develop's original story earlier today stated that EA had prototype development kits housed in PC units, adding that the new console was being prepped for a late 2012 launch.
A respected Eurogamer source also poured water on the report, insisting that an E3 2011 reveal for a new Microsoft console is highly unlikely.
