Xbox 720, Durango announcement delayed a month

4.5
New information concerning when Microsoft will formally announce their next-generation home console – codenamed Durango – surfaced on March 28.

According to a Tweet by Paul Thurrott, an individual who has sources within Microsoft and was one of the first to hint at an April reveal, it appears that the Xbox 720 – or Durango – will not be announced in April as previously expected.

Thurrott shares that Microsoft’s planned reveal of their next-gen home console has been delayed by a month.

His full Tweet reads:

That April Xbox announce? Pushed back a month.

With a delay in place, this points to Microsoft announcing the Xbox 720 just prior to E3 2013 if the company decides to announce it in May.

Currently Microsoft’s Major Nelson has a countdown running on his website that ends at the start of E3; a possible indicator of when Durango will be announced and shown to the public.

Hopefully the wait for Microsoft to announce their next-generation console is not much longer. If it is to take place before E3 2013 at a Xbox 720 exclusive event, invitations should start arriving to media during the latter half of April.

Whisper I don't understand all of this hype for the 720. Yes its a new xbox, and yes it might be amazing. I think PC gaming is a much better community than any console will ever be. Its more mature, and there is endless upgrade possibilities with a computer. The 720 might have pretty good specs, but the price it most likely going to sell at is going to be overpriced. There are only 2 main competitors in the console wars, so the pricing will be high. In the PC world, amazing PC's can be built for $400 or less, plus the endless opportunities to create a better PC.

I still do not understand why consoles are staying popular.


Not everyone likes the lay out of pc and Xbox is way more easy to play and get used to


Its basically the same, PC is pretty easy to get used 2

Yeah it's only the announcement, hopefully it won't affect the release.


It most likely won't affect the release...

And is it just me, or does anyone else think that Microsoft planned this, and the April release was NEVER going to happen?
