Well, Famitsu pre-tgs will leak at any moment now... they don't need to be at tgs to have a new game... just piggyback the hype.
But... what you said made sense. Hype-pooper! :D

In fact, it's like 3 years since their last project. I guess it's time to announce it. At latest it should happen next year E3.

BTW, Xenoblade was released in 2009? Right? What have they done since then? |
Xenoblade team (now at Tokyo) working on a Wii U game. Kyoto branch working on a 3DS game (not PXZ). Honne (Baten Kaitos) is helming the Kyoto branch so hopefully he's working on that game, be it a new IP or even a BK3. I think two other dudes are working on something as well but don't quote on that/not certain.

So, 3 years working on the new IP. Isn't that a lot of time?

No aside from currently working on Project X Zone for the 3DS, normal development usually takes 12 to 18 months for small games. For RPGs and other heavily invested games like AAA titles, development usually starts 2-3 years before the release. Obviously as some games have shown, development may run longer as well due to other issues appearing while development is going on.
