First we were suppose to hear about the 720 in March,  30 days after the PS4 announcement.  

Nothing

Then we were suppose to hear about the 720 in April.  That now has been hushed up.

Suddenly,  theres silence.  Deafening silence.

Maybe Microsoft realized they cant compete with the PS4 and have cancelled the 720?

Or did they delay it so they can boost the hardware in order to compete with the PS4?

They want to steal the spotlight at E3 with their Kinect 2 and Dance Central for the 720.

Not canceled, but I am almost certain that Microsoft is retooling its innards in response to the PS4. The processor on the Xbox 720 was a joke-- the clock speed was way too low and it had too many cores, which was what everyone complained about with the PS3. Microsoft was setting themselves up to be in the same spot Sony was at the start of last gen-- everyone preferred Xbox 360 development because its architecture was headache-free, while the PS3 was basically like learning a new language. If MS is smart they will ditch the current 720 CPU and replace it with a quad core.

Its not that simple Im afraid

If the Xbox 720 is released in its rumored form,  as in underpowered but overpriced thanks to forced apps like Kinect and a TV tuner,  it will be dead on arrival.  Microsoft knows this so they're panicking.  Something is definitely wrong.  

Competition is good for the industry.  The steambox will fill the void left by the Xbox 720 just fine.  Im quite sure Microsoft has done the math and found cancelling the 720 now and losing money spent on research and development is better then producing a console that wont sell

I will be surprised if the 720 comes out this year. It was already looking doubtful that it would release in the same season as PS4, but with the very likely scenario that they've been forced by Sony to revamp the system's hardware, I wouldn't be surprised if PS4 ends up with a year head start.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Microsoft themselves have never said when they were announcing the Nextbox. All those dates have been speculation.

That would be some trick since MS never announced an Xbox 720 or for that matter, never announced a new console since 360. :o

More like fanboys wish the next Xbox was cancelled. They always fail to realize how competition has only served to benefit their preferred platform.

It is for all practical purposes. Think about it, none of the rumors we've heard are able to top the 8gb of The GDDR5 of The QUAD and it's tradition for the Xbox to have no games so what's the point. It's as well as cancelled for any true gamer out there.

Why even talk about it?  Kinextbox is for HFIL.  The best you can hope for is that for the first two or three years it will pretend to be a good gaming system.  It's like the Twilight of gaming.  Everyone should know what to expect but somehow people can't get enough and it sells.  Jump Out.

Maybe Delayed to get GDDR5. Sure MS really does not want to have less superior hardware.

Nothing

Then we were suppose to hear about the 720 in April.  That now has been hushed up.

Suddenly,  theres silence.  Deafening silence.

Maybe Microsoft realized they cant compete with the PS4 and have cancelled the 720?

Or did they delay it so they can boost the hardware in order to compete with the PS4?
