Microsoft Corp. release upgraded gaming console i.e. Xbox 720 console next year in 2013. According to Bloomberg sources reportedly "familiar with the company's plans", who said Microsoft is planning to capitalise on Thanksgiving and Christmas sales.
"The console gaming experience is about delivering something that's way out past the bleeding edge and subsidising it through the software royalty model - just like Apple does with the phones. It's not that much different."
