XBOX 720: EXPECTED TO ARRIVE AT APRIL LAUNCH EVENT

We’ve been hearing for a while that Microsoft won’t wait until E3 to unleash its next-gen Xbox console. Reports this weekend say the launch event may happen in April.

The site also spoke to an unnamed senior official at Sony who claimed the PS4 launch had “Ruffled some feathers” in Redwood, Washington. He also expects Microsoft’s eagerly-antitcipated risposte to come in April.

The next-generation Xbox 720 console will be unveiled at a dedicated Microsoft launch event in April, according to reports this weekend. CVG says it had spoken to industry insiders and game developers, all of whom suggest that the early spring launch is definitely on the cards.

Shortly after the PS4 event Microsoft’s director of programming for Xbox Live Larry Helb (aka Major Nelson) mocked his company’s great gaming rival for not showcasing the goods.
