The Xbox 720 will be revealed by Microsoft on May the 21st, it was announced today as this invitation was sent to journalists to be at the reveal event.
It is described as “a new generation of games, TV and entertainment”.
Who is looking forwards to the new games console?
Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
Well according to the rumors surrounding the next Xbox there's one thing that would be a deal breaker for me, i.e. the always online requirement. So unless that's resolved, I'm not getting excited about anything that they're going to announce about it. If they go that route, I'll then look into PS4 or Wii U instead.
Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
Ummm still not into it. 
Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
Now that they've finally revealed it, I'm less interested in it than I was before. At least for now it looks like they're going to make it require an internet connection and restrict used games. On top of that, it won't be backward compatible with XBox 360 discs, nor will it carry over the downloadable games or allow players to play together across those two platforms. If that wasn't enough to be disappointed about, it also won't support XBox 360 accessories. Also, I haven't really seen anything in terms of games that really interests me at this point. So for now, I clearly like what I've seen of the PS4 better than what I've seen about the XBox One.
Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
Same here. I prefer PS but this new Xbox doesn't seem focused enough. Always online, forced kinect (because we all want an always online camera that's watching us), and locking games to your account is not very appealing. It may turn out that the PS4 ends up doing the same thing, in which case I will not buy that either. Back to the PC in that case.
Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
PS4 all the way
Am all for the PS4 ( as PS fan) but let’s wait till E3 before dissing XBOne all together, they didn’t show us any of its gaming capabilities yet.
Most of the big name games will be cross platform anyways, so it doesn’t matter which one you got.
Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
still sticking with PS:chai:
Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
The funny thing is that PS fan boys actually think that Sony is a consumer friendly company. They are gonna pull off something similar in E3. Take EA as an example, they removed all the online pass crap and now Microsoft comes up with all this used game policies. Do you actually think that EA is going to run different models for different platforms. What’s up with this TV bashing that Xbox is getting, just because it can do “extra” then just play games doesn’t mean that it is not going to run any games. Microsoft is not that dumb to just screw their billion dollar business. When looking up something think as a general consumer not as a fan boy.
Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
^ You’d be surprised at how idiotic companies can be. Sony had a massive cash cow in the PS brand after the PS2, which was the highest selling console even a few years after the 360 and PS3 came out, but they released an expensive, bloated console. People will not pay $800 (after taxes, games, controllers) for a console. The One has similar specs, though slightly worse, and also has a lot of extras. Those extras cost money. If I were Sony I would underprice the hell out of Microsoft and finish them this generation. Plus, Microsoft didn’t do themselves any favour with all this used game and Kinect privacy issues. I honestly don’t think consumers want to use the Kinect. It’s cool at first, and amazing technology in general, but after a hard day I just wanna sit on my ass and blow things up. I don’t want to be moving around.
Not to mention that the PS4 now has architecture similar to a PC, and the One, and it seems like they learned from their misteps and listened to developers. The PS3 still produced better looking exclusives than the 360 but it was hard to program and most developers didn’t take the time. Those that did were Sony first party studios and they are able to give us games like Uncharted 3, which look amazing. I think the PS3’s better specs, lack of bloatware, and focus on exclusive games, will give it a huge leg up.
I’m shocked at how badly Microsoft has handled their new console. We will see what happens but keep in mind that if Microsoft loses North America they’re pretty screwed, as it’s their best market (as far as I know).
Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
Out in November. Price £429 in the UK and $499 in the US.
Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
With their used game/game borrowing policies and their online connection requirements confirmed, I’m leaning to PS4 unless they also implement similar policies.
Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
So it’s confirmed. No online requirements and no used game/game lending restrictions with PS4.
Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
SONY won the E3 this year, there isnt much to decide now, its PS4 all the way (as a huge PS fan and most of my friends are on PS, i didnt had to wait for E3 to decide, i just wanted to see the games they offer on launch).
The games that am really looking forward to play are
and all the indie games looks incredible.

Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
Microsoft have dropped the online requirements and used games policies due to public feedback.
BBC News - Microsoft U-turn in Xbox One games row
Will that make you change your mind about getting it?
Re: New Xbox to be revealed in May
Both the deal breakers are gone. So I’ll consider it now.
Re: Xbox One
Yeah, I guess there was a lot of opposition to those policies so good they listened otherwise they would have lost customers.
Re: Xbox One
I’m betting they already screwed their market share. I fully expect to see PS4 at least slightly ahead in the next generation with XBox One playing catch up. I think it was dumb of them, particularly when the reactions to those policies even months before their official announcement and subsequent U-turn were already well known.
Re: Xbox One
I don’t think so because games on PlayStation 4 may be dependent on DRM as stated by different publishers. The only problem was that Microsoft went all out with it but Sony stayed back and watched Microsoft make a fool of themselves.
