Microsoft pushed back next Xbox reveal because it's not afraid of PS4?
Previous rumors claimed that Microsoft was planning to reveal the next Xbox sometime in April, but now a new story from Bloomberg, via unnamed sources, claims that Microsoft decided to push back the next Xbox announcement until May because the company "saw little competitive pressure from Sony." That company surprised many in the game industry by officially revealing the PlayStation 4 console at an event in February, with a launch planned for the holiday period of 2013.
The same Bloomberg story repeated previously reported rumors that the next Xbox would have a processor and graphics chip both provided by AMD, which is confirmed as providing that hardware for the PS4. It also mentioned that the console may not be backwards compatible with current Xbox 360 games because of the AMD hardware, which was also mentioned by Electronic Arts' chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen mentioned as a strong possibility in February.

Slytherin It's nice to hear they they are going to spend more time on the console. It's better to have a later release than to have a super buggy console
I wonder how much this extra time is actually making the console better. Sometime the amount of times they push back a project and it might still suck. Just like GTA V, hopefully that will be an amazing game for us having to wait 4 extra months.
