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.

-Fluttershy- I don't know, the PS4 looks amazing, Durango has a little competition.
The PS4 looks amazingly full of features that people will use for the first month then just forget about.

If always-on is true, they may want to be more than a little scared. Not saying it will destroy them, I'm just saying it could hurt quite a bit. I'm quite curious about it though. They are making it seem that it's going to get nearly everything PS4 is getting plus more.

Vice-Diffusersbl1ndsquirral Why dont they just tell us already
i think the want us to be anxious so when they do realease it everyone will be exicited and try to attend E3
Of course they arent going to release info early, why would they do that when they can just have one big event with amazing info and make people exited for the new console?
Exactly, and people are still anxious about the xbox's specs.
