Electronic Arts (EA) has said this weekend that all reports that the company is already working on software development for the next-gen Xbox console are false.
Reports had stated that EA had been given a working kit of the Xbox 360's successor in an effort to start game development early.
EA spokesperson Jeff Brown says, however, "this story is a total fabrication - 100 percent not true."
The original reports suggested that Microsoft could be ready to announce that new console at this year's E3, rivaling Nintendo's launch of the Wii 2 (Project Cafe).
For now, we will assume that Microsoft is not working on an Xbox 360 successor, and will have it available by 2015, at the end of a 10-year cycle.
