[quote]Microsoft has pushed the launch of the new Xbox back to next month, according to "sources familiar with Microsoft's Xbox plans" quoted by The Verge.
The software behemoth had reportedly been planning an event later this month to unveil its next-generation games console. This has been shunted to 21 May, according to the report, but no reason for the shift was given -- if the April date was ever even accurate.[/quote]
Anyone else think Microsoft may have gotten cold-feet after the Adam Orth incident; pushed the date back to let the dust settle a little bit before the reveal? That or they could have always intended to reveal it in May, and April was just speculation of us gamers being preemptively hopeful.
Either way, there is tons of drama surround the new Xbox at the moment, and none of which sounds particularly good. I have a strong feeling that they did push the launch into May to relieve some of that bad vibe that resurfaced again. Thoughts?

M$ is going to shoot themselves in the foot if they let Sony bask in the adoration for too much longer. They've already delayed too long. Not giving any response to the bad PR rumors mucking about is only hurting their position more. It's all silence and secracy, both of which are going to end up hurting the console sales.
