[QUOTE]Microsoft confirmed one of the worst-kept secrets in tech: The next Xbox will be revealed on May 21.
The company on Wednesday morning sent out invites to the media for a product unveiling.
"A New Generation Revealed," the invitation reads. "Don Mattrick and the Xbox team invite you to the Xbox campus for a special unveiling."
The company plans to broadcast the unveiling live on the Xbox, as well as on Spike TV.
Earlier this month, long-time Microsoft blogger Paul Thurrott broke the news of the date of the debut in an interview with the video blog "What the Tech."
The Xbox 360 has been the king of consoles in the United States for more than two years, outselling the Nintendo Wii and the Sony PlayStation 3. So Microsoft has been in no rush to debut a new version, preferring instead to let rivals show their hands.
That's why, the unveiling of the next Xbox will be the last from the big three companies in the next generation of video game consoles. In a bid to get ahead of the competition and jumpstart its sagging console fortunes, Nintendo launched its Wii U, which comes with tablet-like game controller that doubles as a second screen, last November. And last February, Sony took the wraps off the PlayStation 4, which will have a far zippier graphics engine and beefier storage than its 7-year-old predecessor.
Microsoft's gathering will come just three weeks before the giant E3 gaming trade show in Los Angeles. The software giant is likely to unveil the technical specifics as well as talk about the entertainment focus of the Xbox that go beyond gaming at its May 21 event. If history is a good gauge, the company will show off some of the biggest gaming titles for the next Xbox at E3.[/QUOTE]

Cant ****ing wait.
Rumors of having a cable like XBOX Tv would be awesome but at the same time always online in order to play would be ****ing retarded.
The always online thing is probably going to deter me from considering this system. But I guess I'll wait for reviews for both the Sony and MS systems. I'm definitely not buying anything until it's been out for at least a year.

If it works like steam I am 100% fine with that. I'd prefer to be able to resell the game though.
PS4 vs Xbox Infinity
Should be a good one
Can't wait til tomorrow :banana:
Hopefully they don't disappoint

Nice. Fukc Ryan Davis though, that guy is a douche.
Prediction? Seems like the obvious: they are going to go into a direction I'm not very interested in. Cable integration. More Kinect. More family oriented. More internet/online oriented. Less exclusive A titles.
Ugh. catering to the casual user. :facepalm
I like the random celebrity cameos.:oldlol:
[QUOTE=LJJ]Nice.

They were experimenting with cellphone style contracts before, I could see them start implementing it. Cheap console with 3 year or so subscription to xbox live.
xbox one...interesting.
And that thing looks thick.
Xbox One, eh.
Okay the 3D rendering looked thick, that doesn't look bad at all really.
Aaaaaand it comes with Kinect. I'm out.
Voice recognition/command, very cool.
The Kinect looks better though, but I'm highly hesitant as well.
But I play yahoo fantasy sports.:(
Windows.:lol
Does integrated battery mean rechargeable controller?
[QUOTE=Rose]Does integrated battery mean rechargeable controller?[/QUOTE]
Yeah. Like the PS3 controllers.
ps4 for me, xbox one is a failure :facepalm
[QUOTE=LJJ]Yeah. Like the PS3 controllers.[/QUOTE]
thank****ing god.
I really couldn't care less about the games stuff at these console reveal events besides exclusives. Save this shit for E3.
[QUOTE=JerryWest]ps4 for me, xbox one is a failure :facepalm[/QUOTE]
They'll probably hold off on games until E3.
a f*cking brit, this is pathetic :roll:
nba live?! F*CK THIS AHAHAHA
f*ck you EA, where's the real companies?!
Messi? **** this shit. That just made me go PS4.
Go ps4 now people, this is a fail cruise in the making :facepalm
So during the big Xbox One presentation the first games they announce are the new EA Sports games? Games that will be coming to literally every system known to man?
Unless they come with exclusivity, which would be HUGE, this is terrible.
Ps4! Ps4! Ps4!
F*ck Xbox

FIFA 14, Madden 14 and the UFC game looked great. NBA Live player models still look like absolute shit. Why is the jersey lettering and numbering always so small? :oldlol:
