Is Microsoft planning on unveiling their next-gen console as early as next March? Could be...
According to Computer and Video Games, Microsoft may actually be secretly planning to give a demonstration of their next-generation hardware at the Game Developers Conference, which takes place in California from March 22-26 of next year. Many believe that Sony will show something for the PS3 next E3, so this may be Microsoft´s move to get a head start on the hype.
CV& claims a senior source, operating under strict conditions of anonymity, told the site: " The plan is to talk specs and show early tech demos [of Xbox 2] at a US event next Easter. This will provide a platform leading towards something more substantial at E3."
If this proves to be true, it is expected that the demonstration will occur in a very similar manner to that of the original Xbox unveiling in 2000, meaning it will take place behind closed doors on an invitation only basis. Needless to say, Microsoft wouldn´t let on to anything saying, " This is a rumor and we do not comment on rumors."
