A Microsoft executive has seemingly confirmed that the next-generation Xbox 720 will come out this holiday season, and that quite a lot of details will be shared at the May 21 reveal and at E3 2013.

The next-gen Xbox is eagerly awaited by millions of gamers from around the world, largely because Microsoft hasn't even talked about the device, leaving room for rumors and speculation.

While speaking in a podcast, Microsoft Xbox executive Aaron Greenberg seemingly mentioned that the next-gen Xbox 720 would be launched this holiday season.

"We're really going to tell one story across two events. So we're going to start on the 21st and really that's about revealing the next Xbox platform, really our vision for the future of games, the future of entertainment," Greenberg said, via NeoGAF.

" We definitely have a lot of surprises planned....at E3, I mean, if you're a gamer, it's going to be tons of exclusives, world premieres, and obviously even beyond that we have a lot to share between then and this holiday."

While Microsoft hasn't outright confirmed it, a late 2013 release for the Xbox 720 is quite likely.
