After dodging many, many questions about the next XBOX, Microsoft has finally confirmed what we’ve all known for years: there will be another Xbox.

Windows Live general manager Brian Hall mentioned the new console in a podcast.

“We’ve had Hotmail and operated Hotmail for about 16 years. We obviously have Exchange, and Outlook that people use at work,” he said. “We just decided it was time to do something new and bring the best from each of those — put them together and release it right in time for the new wave of products that we have coming out with Windows 8, with the new version of Office, with the new Windows Phone and the new Xbox.”

We’ve heard quite a bit about Microsoft’s next console, which is code-named Durango. We have been told that it will ship with an integrated Kinect sensor, a Blu-Ray drive, and some sort of unused game technology.
