No, as Sony has too much invested in A-mount. They are not just going to release 500mm F4, 50mm F1.4 Zeiss, update 70-400mm, 70-200mm and at the same time same year kill A-mount. 

 

Same rumor site that you quoted claims A77 replacement comes early next year. 

 

Second, this is not E-mount DSLR. It's E-mount mirrorless camera shapes like a traditional small DSLR for people who prefer that kind of ergonomics. 

 

The SLTs are also no DSLRs (which is why I also used the quotation marks anyway).

Since there are also rumors that Sony will abandon the SLT approach as well as the mirrors there is not that much room anymore for a true A-mount camera. Honestly if Sony can do phase detection in their mirrorless cameras anyway, they can just go NEX and offer an adapter. Two mirrorless systems just don't make much sense. We'll see anyway.
