THE BUZZ: Microsoft has once again inadvertently dropped hints about the Xbox 360′s successor.

A job advert spotted by Superannuation – now removed from Microsoft.com – mentioned the “next-generation of Xbox.”

“The ISS Console Multimedia Team, responsible for designing and developing the next generation console, is looking for a highly motivated and skilled audio developer,” the advertisement read. “If you love gaming, game audio and music, then join us as an integral part of the team tasked to revolutionize audio for the next generation of Xbox.”

EGM’s TAKE: These little hints keep getting dropped by developers, tipsters and even Microsoft itself. How much longer can it keep this major secret locked up? We’re guessing at not too much longer. If they don’t make a reveal at E3 then someone is going to ruin the party and reveal it for them. If Microsoft makes this E3 reveal then it will easily steal the show, with Sony claiming it has no intention of revealing its next-gen console this year.
