Is Microsoft already teasing us with a "next Xbox" countdown?

why dont they announce consoles at E3? it seems like the perfect place. i thought ps3 was first shown e3 2005?

E3 tends to be used more for the full reveals of consoles rather than announcing them and I think that's because developers like to get people's attention with an announcement beforehand so that more eyes are glued to the E3 reveal. That's my take, in any case, but I'm sure there's a more business oriented reason than that.

so we'll already know about the consoles before E3 than. that probably does bring more hype as everyone will know they will actually see the console for the first time at E3! exciting. hopefully both sony and microsoft and not just one of them.
