Former Witcher Producer on Xbox 720 "Meh"

"I can't talk too much about the next-gen Xbox," he explained, "but I don't think a lot of people [are] going to be surprised. I don't think it's going to be huge news what's inside, no - seriously."

rumors on the hardware are probably true. We want to know the features, dashboard capabilities, kinect integration, and of course the GAMEZZZZ!!!

Yup - just have the damn press conference already!

Kind of funny, b/c I'm pretty sure I saw a tweet earlier today about how those same people agreed with the statement that the PS4 was in fact a high end PC. That's not a good sign for you Microsoft.

what's their definition of a "high end pc" very subjective.

That's not really the point. They seem impressed by the PS4 and not by the Nextbox.

Next Xbox will be revealed on May 21st [Confirmed]

On Tuesday May 21st, we’ll mark the beginning of a new generation of games, TV and entertainment. On that day, we’ll be holding a special press event on the Xbox campus and we invite you to join us via the live global stream that will be available on Xbox.com, Xbox LIVE and broadcast on Spike TV if you are in the US or Canada.

On that day, we’ll share our vision for Xbox, and give you a real taste of the future. Then, 19-days later at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, we’ll continue the conversation and showcase our full lineup of blockbuster games.

We are thrilled to pull back the curtain and reveal what we’ve been working on.

Well, that is what they're the best at. Marketing, marketing, marketing...and not following through with most of it. "Better with Kinect". Lulz.

How can anyone forget that magical Cirque De Soleil Kinect performance at E3 years ago? LOL.

That's actually what I loved about the Sony conference/meeting. It was just no nonsense "Here's what coming and the details that are important to you as a gamer". Not, "Now you can watch seven different HBO's while using your voice to order a shitty Pizza Hut pizza from your Xbox!"

Going to be hard as a gamer to beat the Sony Conference. It was very "gamer" focused

This, and honestly as long as the PS4 has Netflix and other video streaming options I don't really care about what streaming options the next XBOX will have. I'm concerned about games. I also think it'll be hard for M$ to go all in on the multimedia stuff with the rise of smart tv's and things like the Roku box which are very cheap with the prices ranging from $50-$100.
