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.

ME0WIowayJ-E-T-SDemonSurferStoake Next gen xbox > next gen PS. Xbox is soooo much better. Just because you have to PAY to play online dont mean anything. Xbox has a better community, apps, internet browser, games on demand, it's like a computer/phone/game console.
The PS3 is a better multi media console,in fact i'd say a better all round console than 360,the controller really lets the PS3 down.XBOX Live is a better service but it should be considering you have to pay for it,it's just all the idiots online that spoil it.It seems to be that XBOX is only more popular in America so that explains a lot.
everything is better in America.
No it isn't everything is the same everywhere
OT : Why not release if its not afraid?
They said they won't reveal it, because they aren't scared that ps4 getting hype from revealing their console won't affect people wanting the next xbox.
Oh that clarifies it a bit more lol

I really don't think the announcement of the PS4 would be enough to setback that much.
