Next generation Xbox, PlayStation rumor roundup

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

(Credit: Microsoft/Sony) (CBS News) Questions are arising about what the next generation of video games will look like. Will Microsoft release an Xbox 720 or "Durango"? Is Sony really calling the next PlayStation "Orbis"? What will come first: the Xbox or the PlayStation?
Microsoft had a jump on the competition in 2005 by releasing the Xbox 360 a year before the PlayStation 3. This time around, rumors are circulating that Sony will pull the trigger first by launching the next PlayStation before the Xbox.
Forbes cites a report by VG247 that the next PlayStation will be released in 2013, ahead of the next Xbox. Source close to the matter say top publishers and developers are already aware of the next console and are already working on games, according to VG247.

"Sony [believes] they have the jump on Microsoft this time," the source told VG247. "You should be watching the timing of next year's E3 keynotes, and who's going to go first."
There could be some truth in that statement. A recent report by AllThingsD cited Microsoft spokesperson Frank Shaw in saying that they are focused on the Xbox 360.
