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.

TopNotchKiNG We finally have new consoles on the horizon! The new power and graphic capabilities will soon be completely comparable to PC gaming, for those of us who were around during the launch of the Xbox 360, we got to see just what Microsoft could bring to the household. At the time of the launch, not many people were discussing the PS3, just purely Xbox talk. Now in the year 2013, a new age of console gaming in rapidly approaching, with little news on the new Xbox and nothing major for the PS4, the community still argues, they continue to fanboy there consoles, and for what reason? There have been numerous console comparisons since the launch of the consoles, the PS3 usually wins for the GPU, and the Xbox for the CPU. As of now, it is easy to post a comment on a thread saying that you will buy the PS5 or the next Xbox but when it all comes down to it, your wallet will decide for you. The PS4 currently had an estimated launch price of $600 and the next Xbox $400. Both consoles are said to have AMD GPU's and 8GB of RAM, in the end both consoles will be very similar but it all comes down to the console exclusives and the Ii of the consoles. A good, gripping home interface with crisp and clean user interaction and controls, will be a strong factor when deciding your next console, bottom line just enjoy the current gen until you get the next gen, once you get the next gen enjoy them and stop the arguing about what console is superior because the majority of you have no clue what system specs are, everybody has there own opinion but it's up to you to decide how to state it.

Im seeing a lot of ps fanboys saying things like blueray, and that ps has amazing features, such as the internet browsing for example. Im sorry but blue ray is way, way overrated, ive watched movies in blue ray and through a dvd player, on HD tvs. And im sorry but its the freaking same. Its playes the movie in HD quality, just the same. And web browsing? Thats what i use my pc/phone for... Who wants a console to browse the web? You buy a console to play games, there are more compleatly pointless features being released these days, and tbh its just all smoke and mirrors, i would rather have the PS2 than the PS4, as the PS2 isnt about smoke and mirrors crap, its actually fun gaming, something sony have lost sight of imo. I cant comment much on microsoft because they are keeping their cards so close to their chest. But i wish sony users would stop banging on about their pointless new features which will be unused after the fashion of it wears off, as its literally just smoke and mirror crap.

If what I have heard about the next generation Xbox, I'm movin' on over to Playstation.
As usual, Microsoft is being retarded. Hopefully, they aren't so confident that they are going to beat the PS4...

HarmfulMushroom It should be... I haven't heard one thing I've liked about the new Xbox from what's been leaked. If most of it turns out to be true, I'll either consider getting a PS4 or stick with PC gaming. Most likely just stick with PC gaming though.
There hasnt been barely anything released about the next xbox.
