Xbox 720, Durango announcement delayed a month
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.

Microsoft needs to step up if they want to keep us interested in this product.
I am a 360 gamer myself, but the specs that were shown for the PS4 are great, and Microsoft better come up with something just as good (if not better) for a lower price.
And if Microsoft wants to make good sales on the console, and have an early chance to compete with Sony, then the console needs to be release as close to Christmas as possible

MedionZymePX-21ZymeGoblin-Red-Sox-Nation Im sure they feel the pressure with the ps4 coming out soon
It's going to see how competitive sales are.. How many commercials each will have.. How much advertising. Wow this should be funny haha
Xbox will always dominate ps3.
Xbox will always dominate PS3. Is that why Microsoft is putting blu ray into the 720?
Apart from that Xbox dominates you i would rather pay for servers then get it free and get hacked and lose all my money
Besides Sony didn't even use Blu-ray well on the PS3... Took ages to load stuff, they didn't even use the disc's advantage which is disc space... PS3 didn't use Blu-ray well at all and that actually made the normal disc that the 360 used better... they didn't need the extra space and the disc's were much faster. But they need it in the next gen as games are getting bigger in size.
I think i would rather an extra 5 second load time than having to change disc's all the time.
