Microsoft had said that gamers shouldn't expect to see its next gaming console anytime soon, but it seems that developers might already be getting their hands on the new generation Xbox. Gaming site, IGN is citing an unspecified source with the news that the next Xbox hardware has entered manufacturing.
The report says that hardware for the next Xbox has been produced at the Austin, Texas branch of electronics firm Flextronics- the first manufacturer of the original Xbox and one of three, Microsoft initially employed to work on the Xbox 360. The firm also reportedly created a testing group focused specifically on "comprehensive marketing, software, and hardware tests of the next Xbox."
As for what exactly is being produced, IGN speculates Flextronics is producing dev kits so the next Xbox developers have hardware on which to create their games.
