Wow, are people really trying to say this is a rushed release and to be careful of RRoD problems again? This is still 2 years out... by next E3, the hardware will be nearly final and many games will have running builds on it. By the following E3, the hardware will be final and have even more games with nearly complete builds. Fall 2013 there will be plenty of games out at release and the new Xbox will have had plenty of time for testing of the hardware.
I still don't think MS ever thought to wait as long as 2014 to begin with. That's 9 years before releasing a new console. The hardware simply ages much to fast for that. Heck even next year would mark 7 years which is longer than any hardware generation ever has gone to date. 2013 is the longest MS should wait and is the perfect time frame for release, 8 years after the launch, compared to the Wii's successor coming 6 years after launch.
If MS got the new Xbox out by holiday 2012, THEN I would say it was rushed out and to be cautious of hardware issues, much like the 360 launched the same holiday year that it was revealed in 2005.
