Xbox 720 Coming by 2020

An upcoming movie titled “Real Steel”  has quite possibly given us our first confirmation of Microsoft’s next generation system.  In a trailer for the upcoming movie, one scene shows an arena where the logo for the “Xbox 720” is seen briefly.

The movie which is set in 2020, depicts a world where robots have replaced humans in the sport of boxing. It’s also a movie that depicts gamers as having an Xbox 720 in their homes as well.

Is it early product placement by Microsoft?  And could we be seeing the next generation Xbox in 2012?  That’s still up for debate, but many expect Microsoft to make their announcement of the next generation Xbox E3 2012.
