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

not proof at all.why? Microsoft if they delayed may have simply done it because what they saw from Sony was non-threating to them.  Could have made them think we dont need to rush, lets polish everything up and because of the backlash Sony got for not showing the PS4 physical design lets finalize the new Xbox physical design and show it.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I think it did put a bit of pressure on them, because it is a competitive business and both companies have to be on par. But I don´t think Microsoft sheduled their release because of Sonys announcment at this particular time. I am pretty sure they did it because of the E3. So when E3 comes they will be able to profit from the hype the new Box will generate. While the PS4 hype is depleting. They sheduled their date really smart imo.


Of course they will, but they're wrong. Xbox was revealed in May, so was the 360. Not to mention, at first Kaz himself said to the world over twitter,(?) they'd be going last. If anything, MS pushed Sony to reveal early. They didn't even have a console to show at a console reveal.

That is true. But still doesn´t change the fact that Sony put a lot of pressure on Microsoft with the earlier announcment. But we´ll see how much this matters after MS reveals their new Box.

lol. All my predictions were right. Microsoft is not ready. Already 45 minutes into presentation and they have not shown game play for a single game.....

My prediction for what they are going to show is close nought
