Was Microsoft Forced to show next Xbox early by Sony? What to expect on May 21st from Microsoft?

Whatever they do, people will find a way the spin the story. If they announced it late then people would claim MS was making changes to their hardware because they weren't expecting Sony to make such a powerful console, and if they announced it early then people would claim MS was forced to show the console early.

I think they have chosen a great a time to show it cause May is neither too late or too early and its so close to E3. The PS4's announcement was way too early and already the hype has died down a lot.
