Finally, the world will see it’s very first glimpse of the next generation of video game consoles!
According to an invite sent out by Microsoft today, the company promises “A New Generation Will [will be] Revealed.” Specifically, this revealing will be done at 10 a.m. Pacific on May 21 in Redmond, Washington. That’s just a scant two-and-a-half weeks before E3, for those not up to date on their announcement schedules.
The event was further detailed in a blog post by Major Nelson on Microsoft spokesman Larry Hyrb’s blog (has anyone ever seen those two in the same room together?)
“On Tuesday May 21st, we’ll mark the beginning of a new generation of games, TV and entertainment. On that day, we’ll be holding a special press event on the Xbox campus and we invite you to join us via the live global stream that will be available on Xbox.com, Xbox LIVE and broadcast on Spike TV if you are in the US or Canada.
On that day, we’ll share our vision for Xbox, and give you a real taste of the future. Then, 19-days later at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, we’ll continue the conversation and showcase our full lineup of blockbuster games.
We are thrilled to pull back the curtain and reveal what we’ve been working on.”
I for one can’t wait for “the beginning of a new generation of games, TV and entertainment” to finally be revealed. This generation has been dragging on for quite a long time without so much as a peep from anyone else. Once again, Microsoft shines as a sterling beacon of innovation and trailblazing as they drag us from our ugly, laggardly PC games and into a subscription-gated, always-online future!
Your move, Sony and Nintendo!
