Xbox 720, Durango announcement delayed a month

4.5
New information concerning when Microsoft will formally announce their next-generation home console – codenamed Durango – surfaced on March 28.

According to a Tweet by Paul Thurrott, an individual who has sources within Microsoft and was one of the first to hint at an April reveal, it appears that the Xbox 720 – or Durango – will not be announced in April as previously expected.

Thurrott shares that Microsoft’s planned reveal of their next-gen home console has been delayed by a month.

His full Tweet reads:

That April Xbox announce? Pushed back a month.

With a delay in place, this points to Microsoft announcing the Xbox 720 just prior to E3 2013 if the company decides to announce it in May.

Currently Microsoft’s Major Nelson has a countdown running on his website that ends at the start of E3; a possible indicator of when Durango will be announced and shown to the public.

Hopefully the wait for Microsoft to announce their next-generation console is not much longer. If it is to take place before E3 2013 at a Xbox 720 exclusive event, invitations should start arriving to media during the latter half of April.

Hue Not bothered really, not buying the next-gen console.
You will have to eventually because they will stop realising the games for 360

To me, it seems like they're probably wanting to improve on what Sony are doing for the PS4, so if the announcement is 3 months after the PS4's announcement, which is what it's now expected to be, it'll make sure they know exactly if they can put some last minute things in. For something like this, in my opinion, a longer wait is better.
True they can improve on the things and know what expectations are set

Phyziculz I think this will naturally outsell the PS4, but I do hope to god there won't be any more of these PS4 and 720 wars that people have, both have pros and cons and some people personally prefer one or the other, I hope also you can carry your old profile over just pick all new gamertags, that way it will be OG galore


Usually get round about the same sales

I agree, it's just building more hype.
