Microsoft to unveil 'new generation' Xbox on May 21

Turns out, that "special event" that Microsoft has been rumored to have in store next month is real. The Redmond, Wash.-based tech giant sent out invitations this morning asking reporters to "join us as we reveal a new generation of Xbox."

There you have it. Just a month before E3 and almost exactly three months after Sony unveiled the PlayStation 4, Microsoft is planning to unveil its contender for the next-generation of the video game console wars.

The unveiling sounds like it won't have quite the same pomp and circumstance as Sony's dramatic unveiling of the PS4 at New York City's Hammerstein ballroom, however. The event is scheduled for 10 a.m. PT on May 21, and will take place at Microsoft's Xbox Campus in Redmond.

Details are predictably scarce — all the invitation says below the iconic Xbox logo and the tagline "a new generation revealed" is, "Don Mattrick [President of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business] and the Xbox team invite you to the Xbox campus for a special unveiling." If dropping the "Xbox" name four times in a single e-card isn't enough of a hint, you can't get much more unambiguous than the #XboxReveal hashtag placed at the bottom of the invitation.

Microsoft is (also predictably) trying not to divulge any unnecessary information about the new console, but all these hints suggest that preliminary reports were correct in predicting the next-generation device will simply be called "Xbox," like its first-generation counterpart that was originally released in 2001.


I just got a Wii U.....I LOVE it!

Can't wait to not get one, that's right, not get one. Never been much of a console gamer, but this x-box seems to do too much. We have a hard enough time getting people off their arses as it is without having a game console that does everything but wipe your butt.
I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

X-Box One:$500. It spies on you. You can't buy used games. It has to connect to the internet once a day or you aren't allowed to play it. Brilliant move, Microsoft.

I don't need a game console to do everything under the sun, I don't game much but whenI turn on my console it's for one thing only... to play games. I hate online mmo's because I am too much of a casusal player.

Me too - I just want to enjoy a game, not live a lifestyle. I belonged to X-Box Live for a year 5-6 years ago but I got tired of the "leet gamerz" and their attitudes so I didn't renew.

I think I'll just dig my old Panasonic 3DO out of the box. I have a bunch of really awesome games for it. :)

Wish I still had my commodore 64. Had lots of games on it, but my brother broke it when he borrowed it. (Shakes fist at the heavens)!

Oh, I *loved* my Commodore! We had absolutely brilliant games for it: Arctic Fox, PHM Pegasus, Archon, GI Joe, Airborne Ranger....
