A very curious post on a web-based portfolio of a designer, who currently works for Microsoft, may have let slip the possible launch date of the Xbox 360's successor.
Recently recruited to work at Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business, Ben Peterson posted a screenshot (shown below) of a project under a Microsoft Xbox heading in his portfolio. The screenshot has a piece of text, saying, "Confidential / Collaboration with Microsoft's IEB design group investigating future user experiences and hardware for 2015. *Work samples only permissible in person.*(March 2011)"
According to ZDNet, who found the screenshot originally, "the 2015 time frame is one that gives Microsoft considerable time for R&D, prototyping, production, and marketing planning."
Make of this what you will, but this is possibly an admission that Microsoft are beginning to think about the next cycle of next-gen consoles. However, until hard facts are revealed or an official statement is made, this is purely conjecture and should be treated as such.

I would think they shoot for a 2014 time window.
