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.

Mitzz how much is this xbox720? might not get it if it is too much


I don't think a price has been leaked yet. I'm guessing it will be anywhere from 250-400


yeah no. try 600

well they raised the games 10 dollars, what makes you think that the console itself won't be crazy expensive?
They already said that they are going to try and make it affordable, the max they will make the Xbox 720 is probably 400 just like the last.

Fix i dont like how they are rushing things. i guarntee the first run will have problems


I disagree... It will probably turn out perfectly fine.

Minor bugs will always appear but can also easily be fixed.


They're not rushing it if they have to delay it?

Brad- More and more things are making me want to just not get the 720 and go to gaming on PC...


PC is the best, be cause you can play anything on it!


I agree with that! PC all the way, but a lot of my friends don't have a gaming PC so thats why I still have an Xbox and PS3


I already have one and its pretty lonely with just me since i rarely go on xbox any more. At least I can boss out of my Ps2cubebox64nesadvance while still playing modern games.
