Microsoft just sent out invites to the media for an event about the next generation Xbox. The event will take place on May 21st in Microsoft’s Redmond, Washington campus.
A website has been set up by Microsoft with a teaser about the event. There’s a countdown as well as information where and how people can stream the announcement live. The live stream will be available on May 21st (10AM PDT) on Xbox.com or on your Xbox 360 console.
Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb, the Director of Programming for Xbox Live, wrote on his site that the May 21st event will “mark the beginning of a new generation of games, TV and entertainment.” He goes on to say that Microsoft will “continue the conversation” after the Xbox announcement at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles.
There are plenty of rumors about the next Xbox but nothing has been confirmed. It’s probably safe to assume that Microsoft will have a ton of first party games like Forza available at launch.
The new Xbox will be up against stiff competition from Sony with its PlayStation 4. Are you more excited about the new Xbox or the PS4?
