New Generation of Xbox Announced on May 21: Xbox 720

Microsoft will spill the beans on its next-generation Xbox at an event on May 21, according to Windows blogger Paul Thurrott and a report from The Verge. Originally scheduled for April, the event was pushed back to May, sources have told the Verge. That echoes similar information from Supersite for Windows writer Paul Thurrott. In an interview with the video blog "What the Tech" on Friday, Thurrott said that Microsoft had planned to announce the new console on April 24 but then rescheduled the event for May 21. Opinion: How many more Xbox consoles and Playstation consoles will they make. Its not a war about who has the best console.
