like they need an event to announce it.... we'll have enough doritos, mountain dew, NFL, straight XB1 and kinect, smartglass adverstising and marketing around launch window.... so much that even my grandma in her retirement home will be aware of the launch date....

Not everyone is going to preorder with the lack of info on release date. Unless ms cant meet demand already its in their best interest to tell people now when their console will release to snag those preorders. Get the news out. Get people out to get theirs as soon as possible. Going "oh btw... the x1 is in stores now. Go pick yours up today" and someone goes to buy one and finds out there is none. But maybe that person at gamestop will do their job and suggest a ps4 or wii u
