What about PAX next week? Perhaps they will do a launch date announcement then? - probably not.. just saw something about Sony going there bigtime, assuming ms are going.

To be honest I was slightly surprised by Sony's date (especially with people saying last week of Oct). I can only assume this is the date they feel they can get enough consoles made to not be in a situation where the small amount theyve made gets totally swallowed up by pre-orders. You want some on shelves at least. So perhaps they want a few more weeks which might mean another 500k in stores.

I was also surprised by the date because this is the date i thought MS would launch on... and by picking this date they are leaving a window before that open to picking. Of course Ms couldn't pick the week after because of Black Friday in the US... It's going to be interesting to see what date they do pick.. it's got to be a week or two earlier i feel.

I guess PAX PRIME or TGS will be the place they'll announce it...

PAX is in Microsoft's back yard, they'd definitely be attending.

11/8 would be REALLY tight on MS and developers imo, but if they don't want to launch on the same date as the PS4 (not sure why they wouldn't), I don't see any other choice.

There'd be riots if it launched the same date.  Just think lining up at midnight with opposing fans of consoles.  Otherwise they do want to get the jump on them.  

Lol I'm imagining it, and that would probably be the lamest riot in the history of riots. Like if a Star Wars movie released the same day as a Star Trek movies. I would expect a lot of pasty-skinned bruises and broken glasses.
