"Xbox 720" Reveal Date Delayed

[quote]Microsoft has pushed the launch of the new Xbox back to next month, according to "sources familiar with Microsoft's Xbox plans" quoted by The Verge. The software behemoth had reportedly been planning an event later this month to unveil its next-generation games console. This has been shunted to 21 May, according to the report, but no reason for the shift was given -- if the April date was ever even accurate.[/quote] Anyone else think Microsoft may have gotten cold-feet after the Adam Orth incident; pushed the date back to let the dust settle a little bit before the reveal? That or they could have always intended to reveal it in May, and April was just speculation of us gamers being preemptively hopeful. Either way, there is tons of drama surround the new Xbox at the moment, and none of which sounds particularly good. I have a strong feeling that they did push the launch into May to relieve some of that bad vibe that resurfaced again. Thoughts?

  • Drama aside, maybe Microsoft always intended to reveal in May. You don't push around a date as important and with as many things riding on it as the announcement for a new gaming platform off just because one of your employees said something stupid or another company made a similar announcement. I wouldn't be surprised if a May 21 announcement (or whatever day it ends up being) has been on the calendar for a year or so in advance.
