So originally people thought MS was going to try and rush the next Xbox announcement in retaliation to the PS4 announcement. Now it's the other way around MS waited until May because of the PS4 announcement? I guess some people will find anyway to spin a story.

I don't remember people thinking MS would rush their announcement after Sony made theirs.
In fact, I remember people thought the opposite. That MS would let the freshly created hype for the PS4 fade a bit before announcing their take on Next Gen.

Now, it is quite logical to think that because Sony went first, MS did use those months to prepare themselves better and to counter the PS4 as best as possible.

Probably not much on this site but the major site's like IGN I saw dozens of comments saying MS should announce the next Xbox ASAP, otherwise they would be letting Sony get tons of free press about the PS4 etc....

Well, that's anecdotal at best.
