Well I think the Pro is what they want to avoid. Playstation has got it going on, there's no stopping that. Xbox, as a brand, is on more shaky ground and the Scorpio is a long ways away so I think they may be intentionally avoiding the Pro and getting ahead of the Scorpio. Basically, they gotta pick one to compete with for mindshare and the Xbox brand is 1) more vulnerable and 2) the Scorpio is a long ways away.
Also, it's hard to promote something during the holidays that isn't launching during the holidays.
