      If the rumors of Kinect 2.0 are correct, you're going to have to hear plenty about Microsoft's motion sensor.

      I do similarly hope that Microsoft is more willing to talk about games than Sony was at the PS4 announcement, however.

        I doubt either of you will get your wish with E3 so close on its heels. There will be some, but seeing as they want to show the full lineup then, I doubt you see more than a few previews.

          I mean this reveal should be all about the system and the games. Save the Kinect and apps for E3. Wow me with games Microsoft.

            E3 is going to be interesting after hearing Giant Bomb's Jeff Gerstmann on a Bonus Round a couple weeks ago, about third-party exclusives returning and some publishers choosing sides, at least early on.

                Re: Xbox 720

                I mainly want to know pricing and if Madden and or NCAA will be a release title.
                Then I want to see what difference there is between those and the 360 versions.
                If there's very little then I know I can stay wil the 360 for a while longer.

                Disclaimer:
                Unless theres some kick butt game at release etc.. that simply wows me.

                Once I see these details I'll compare to the PS4 stuff and go from there.

                  They already stated they won't be showing off many games on May 21st and E3 will be when they will show off the games. May 21st will be more about the other ways Xbox can entertain you.

                      He's referring to this from Major Nelson's post on his blog:

                      "On that day, we'll share our vision for Xbox, and give you a real taste of the future. Then, 19-days later at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, we'll continue the conversation and showcase our full lineup of blockbuster games."
                      Should be some games at the Xbox Event, but most games will be at E3.

                        While Sony did show games, I don't fault MS for waiting until E3. Why show everything you have, when you can build excitement for the show floor?

                          Re: Xbox 720

                          People are now seeing that MS never had to release anything prior to or during Sony's announcement. Doing so would just show lack of vision. They have their things in order and have much momentum to ride on for this next system.

                          A while back Major Nelson commented on Sony's info day where he took a jab, talking about having a major announcement for the PS4 but actually never showing what it would look like. Microsoft is being very patient with their info and it is paying off. The interest is already there for what is next. May 21st can be a time to show a broad vision for what's next and then from there hit things hard with games etc.
                          Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

                            Then again, it is now that not showing the PS4 console makes some sense ... the 720 would have the momentum going into E3 but the other console will attrack much more attention as everyone, including MS, would be trying to get a look at the console ... this under the assumption that MS will show its console on the 21st.

                            Whoever wins the more attention is secondary tho, but is quite evident that both companies seem to know what they are doing ... I just hope that we get a more than sufficient amount of new games and stablished franchises at launch and within the 1st few months of both of them ... most importantly, hope we get the consoles and games within reasonable prices ... anyways, winter cant come soon enough.

                              ITProToday.com is a leading online source of news, analysis and how-to's about the information technology industry.

                              Quote:Here Comes the Next Xbox
                              Microsoft's next Xbox will be revealed in a series of events in the first half of 2013

                              Microsoft on Wednesday confirmed that the next Xbox video game console, codenamed Durango, will be revealed to the public at a special event at its Redmond campus on May 21. That event will kick off a multi-event unveiling which will continue through June, and then the release of the device, which is expected in early November.

                              On March 28, I exclusively revealed via Twitter that Microsoft had changed the original reveal date for the next Xbox from April 24 to May 21. So yesterday’s confirmation is interesting for two reasons, the least obvious of which is that it came on April 24, the original date that the firm intended to reveal the next Xbox.

                              Here’s what I know about the next Xbox (along with some clearly-identified conjecture).

                              Early announce. The initial reveal date was pushed back from April 24 to May 21 so that Microsoft could better position the device against the PlayStation 4, which Sony announced in late February.

                              Full (end user) announce. Microsoft will fully reveal details about the next Xbox, including the launch lineup of games, on the eve of the E3 tradeshow in early June 2013.

                              Developer announce? It appears that Microsoft will discuss the next Xbox developer platform at the Build conference in San Francisco in late June, based on clues on the Build web site.

                              Launch. The next Xbox will launch in early November 2013.

                              Windows 8 Core. The next Xbox is based on the "Core" (base) version of Windows 8. This suggests a common apps platform or at least one that is similar to that used by Windows 8, and further than Microsoft could open up this platform to enthusiast developers. (That last bit is supposition on my part.)

                              Price. Microsoft will initially offer two pricing models for the console, offering a standalone version for $499 and then a $299 version that requires a two-year Xbox LIVE Gold commitment at an expected price of $10 per month.

                              No entertainment box. Microsoft originally planned to offer both a “full” version of the next Xbox (with video game playing capabilities) and a lower-end entertainment-oriented version, codenamed “Yuma,” that did not provide video gaming capabilities. But plans for Yuma are on hold and no pure entertainment version of the next Xbox will appear in 2013 (or possibly ever).

                              Blu-ray. The next Xbox will include a Blu-ray optical drive.

                              Internet-connected. The next Xbox must be internet-connected to use. This is source of the “always on”/“always online” rumors and isn’t as Draconian as many seem to believe.

                              Another Xbox 360. Microsoft will also deliver a third generation Xbox 360 console this year that will be significantly less expensive than the current models. The new 360 is codenamed “Stingray,” but it’s not clear if this device is required because the next Xbox isn’t backwards compatible, or because Microsoft simply wants a low-cost entertainment box alternative. (A third possibility, and to be clear these possible reasons are all speculative: The 360 simply has life left in it and with dwindling component prices in the 8 years since the original launch, the firm can still make money selling such a device.)

                              There’s a lot I don’t know, of course. The name is a big area of speculation, and while I’ve heard nothing official, I’d be surprised if they didn’t just called it Xbox. I’ve never seen the console, nor have any idea what it might look like. And in addition to the aforementioned confusion over backwards compatibility and the apps platform, there are questions around Kinect (which I understand is integrated and non-optional) and of course the fabled (and possibly imaginary) Xbox Surface tablet. We’ll have to wait and see what Microsoft announces—or a leak—to find out more.

                              On that note, Microsoft’s May event will be broadcasted live via Xbox.com, Xbox LIVE and broadcast on Spike TV if you are in the US or Canada.
