LOL! I was gonna come her and explain to people why it would be a retarded idea. But seems like they know why already but don't realize they know why yet

It could work: Imagine: "Here the new MS beast, power beyond your wilddest dreams. And, by the way, it is in sotres in 2 weeks."

It would sure destroy all Nintendo plans and put good ol´Sony in a very stick situation. However, it will not likely happen,.

I will admit that I was going completely off my memory of the olden days, but that's pretty much how I remember it happening. I didn't wiki it, I lived it and this is how I remember it. Bernie Stolar drove Sega of America into the ground and then the Dreamcast got killed by the shadow of the PS2 thanks to Sony's unfulfilled promises of it's power. My memory may be tainted by my love of Sega and melancholie for the loss of one of the great Hardware companies. I wathced it happen and I couldn't believe people ignored all the incredible games Sega offered.

Oh and anecdotal heresay is the cornerstone of "recorded" history. Any time anything can be interpreted someone will disagree but that doesn't mean it's misinterpreted. As for you claim of untruths and missinformation, well, that's just how I remember it happening.

Thing is, it would release,

-nobody would know about it except gamers,
-sudden market confusion since it's called just 'xbox' without warming the public up to the namebrand,
-billions spent on oprah, jimmy kimmel, beyonce to try and inform everyone,

-releasing in a portion of the year after people have spent their tax returns,
-in a period when jobs are down....
-when people want to be outside, not inside playing a 500$ console,
-with no announced big game coming out,
-with GTA5 coming out in September on everything BUT the new xbox,
-while winding down its sales burst,
-and getting hit with a full year of hyped ps4 right at holiday november that people are saving money for.
-not to mention competing with their own cheap 360, and ps3 alternatives

Talk about instant failure.

if so it would be the ultimate one up/pulling the wool over eyes i've ever seen. and i say that because Sonys PS meeting which is rumored to showcase PS4. .

Releasing before your main competitor is always great.   I just pointed one of the reasons why they won't do it.

Another reason is that MS probably wouldn't be able to manufacture the amount of consoles necessary for a US launch.   Foxconn is full of work right now, having to make Wii U and likely PS4 as well.

quite a lot of talk of the failure any sort of launch of the next xbox will be in here in the shadow of the mighty ps4... I think a lot of people are overestimating the true balance of hype between the systems given the market share right now, The playstation announcement on the 20th is just going to be to calm down investors and try and gauge the exact amount of public interest is in the playstation brand, it's not the final nail on the 720s coffin as some would believe.

Thats what I do when I read "Zelda informer" or "fox"

Nobody has said that. It's the beginning of the hype train.

This is just standard practice for releasing a new console properly. MS will announce its console months and months in advance as well. Releasing 2 weeks after announcement WOULD be suicide.

Sega tried an early launch with the Saturn and it blew up in their faces. For MS to do something like this they'd have 3rd parties and retailers in on it. Sega didn't and they were never able to recover from it as a hardware manufacturer.  If 3rd parties and Retailers were in on such a launch. We'd know about it by now. The Sun is just blowing smoke.
