Didn't Major Nelson say this event is for the system and E3 almost 3 weeks later would be about the games?

Yes. And that's how it will be. It'll be like the PS4 presentation. Little bit of game stuff, a WHOLE LOT of hardware and software stuff.

List of Xbox 720 Gameshttp://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-720/Li...Xbox_720_Games
Game Source and Information Ryse An anonymous source suggests that Ryse (the first-person Roman combat game first revealed in 2010) has been "re-worked into a next-generation game designed to be Microsoft's new Gears of War / Halo mega launch title.” The game is said to “take advantage of the new body tracking improvements in the next Kinect sensor.” [1] Forza Motorsport 5 An anonymous source suggests that a new entry in the Forza series with "super life-like graphics" will be a launch title on the next Xbox. [2] Job listings also suggested in 2012 that a next-gen version was in the works. [3] Halo 5 Before the release of Halo 4, 343 Industries confirmed that it was the first part of a new Halo trilogy. [4] In 2012, 343 job listings were posted “to help create the current and next generation of game visuals in the Halo universe.” [5] Destiny Destiny is confirmed for "the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, as well as other future console platforms", which presumably means the next Xbox and PlayStation 4.[6] Call of Duty: Ghosts Developer Infinity Ward posted a job listing on its site calling for a senior animator with "interest in working with next-generation technologies." [7] The game is rumored to be called Ghosts. [8] Dragon Age III: Inquisition Despite being announced by BioWare for a release in 2013, the resume of an EA Shanghai level designer suggested that the "scope" of the game has changed and that it "will be postponed to 2014" and "target next gen platforms." [9] The Evil Within The newest game from Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami was announced by Bethesda for a 2014 release on "next-generation consoles," [10] Next-Gen Family Game An anonymous source suggested that the next Xbox will launch with “a family game set on an island with Pixar movie-style graphics” that “will utilize Kinect to scan a body and generate a virtual character in the game.”[11] Thief Square-Enix's reboot of Thief was announced for PlayStation 4 "and other next-gen platforms" for release in 2014. [12] The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Witcher 3 was officially announced by CD Projekt RED for release in 2014 and is set to target "all top of the line consoles and PC." It was advertised as "a next generation RPG." [13] Next-Gen Zombie Game An anonymous source suggested that the next Xbox will launch with "a zombie game," which has caused some to speculate that it could be Dead Rising 3. [14] Rainbow 6: Patriots Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said Rainbow 6: Patriots is still in development and "there's a good chance it can be” pushed to next-generation consoles. [15] Mafia III Rumors suggest that Mafia III is in development at 2K Czech and was delayed in order to shift to next-generation consoles. [16] Doom 4 Bethesda confirmed that an early version of Doom 4 "did not exhibit the quality and excitement that Id and Bethesda intend to deliver and that Doom fans worldwide expect" and was canceled in favor of a new one. Rumors suggest that the game is targeting next-generation consoles and that a planned sequel to Rage was canceled in order to add more members to the Doom 4 development team. [17] Watch Dogs While the game has been confirmed for PC, PS3, PS4, Wii U and 360, leaked marketing materials say it's coming this holiday to "all home consoles." This would imply the next Xbox. [18] Ready at Dawn Next-Gen Game The developers of the God of War PSP games are developing "an exciting new AAA IP for a Next-Generation home console game system." [19] Next-Gen Sonic Game Sega notes that Sonic "won't become photo-real" in next-gen games and that he "will always remain stylized and will have that bright, colorful world. What the high hardware spec will allow us to do is make that more convincing." [20] Square-Enix "Luminous" Games Square-Enix is showing off its "Luminous" tech engine, capable of highly realistic next-gen graphics. Luminous will make games 30% cheaper and shorten development cycles. [21] Crytek Next-Gen Game Perhaps Homefront 2 or TimeSplitters 4? Crytek was the company that originally outed the Xbox 720's Durango codename.[22] Lionhead Studios Next-Gen Game The studio (sans Molyneux) has been on the lookout for programmers with experience using the Unreal Engine, and "significant experience leading teams designing and implementing modern rendering engine." Example given is DirectX11, which is rumored to be compatible with the Xbox 360's successor. [23] Remedy 'Future-Gen' Game Alan Wake developer Remedy posted on its community forums that it is hiring more than 20 people for work on a game for "future generation consoles." [24]
I don't think that's what Major said. He said we'll be getting a taste of the new generation, which to me, means all the details about the hardware itself, and then a few games. It would be incredibly stupid on their part not to show off at least a few of their games. Then we'll get the rest of the them and more details about the hardware during E3.
Exactly what I was saying. People on the internet have been complaining the last 2 or 3 years about "no games" and they've all jumped to that conclusion that Microsoft is going to continue that trend. It doesn't take a genius to realize that virtually all of their major studios haven't been releasing much because they've been working on next gen stuff.
I don't know why Ready at Dawn is on that list. I'm pretty sure they're a Sony owned developer.
SourceMicrosoft on Wednesday confirmed that the next Xbox video game console, code-named Durango, will be revealed to the public during a special event at its Redmond campus on May 21. That event will kick off a multi-event unveiling that will continue through June and culminate with the release of the device, which is expected in early November.
On March 28, I exclusively revealed via Twitter that Microsoft had changed the original reveal date for the next Xbox from April 24 to May 21. So yesterday’s confirmation is interesting for two reasons, the least obvious of which is that the news came on April 24—the original date that the firm intended to reveal the next Xbox.

Here’s what I know about the next Xbox (along with some clearly identified conjecture).
Early announce. The initial reveal date was pushed back from April 24 to May 21 so that Microsoft could better position the device against the PlayStation 4, which Sony announced in late February.
Full (end user) announce. Microsoft will fully reveal details about the next Xbox, including the launch lineup of games, on the eve of the E3 tradeshow in early June 2013.
Developer announce? It appears that Microsoft will discuss the next Xbox developer platform at the Build conference in San Francisco in late June, based on clues on the Build website.
Launch. The next Xbox will launch in early November 2013.
Windows 8 Core. The next Xbox is based on the "Core" (base) version of Windows 8. This suggests a common apps platform or at least one that is similar to that used by Windows 8. It also suggests that Microsoft could open up this platform to enthusiast developers. (That last bit is supposition on my part.)
Price. Microsoft will initially offer two pricing models for the console: a standalone version for $499 and a $299 version that requires a two-year Xbox LIVE Gold commitment at an expected price of $10 per month.
No entertainment box. Microsoft originally planned to offer both a “full” version of the next Xbox (with video game playing capabilities) and a lower-end entertainment-oriented version, code-named “Yuma,” that didn't provide gaming capabilities. But plans for Yuma are on hold, and no pure entertainment version of the next Xbox will appear in 2013 (or possibly ever).
Blu-ray. The next Xbox will include a Blu-ray optical drive.
Internet-connected. The next Xbox must be Internet-connected to use. This is the source of the “always on”/“always online” rumors and isn’t as Draconian as many seem to believe.
Another Xbox 360. Microsoft will also deliver a third-generation Xbox 360 console this year that will be significantly less expensive than the current models. The new Xbox 360 is code-named “Stingray,” but it’s not clear whether this device is required because the next Xbox isn’t backward-compatible or because Microsoft simply wants a low-cost entertainment box alternative. (A third possibility—and to be clear, these possible reasons are all speculative—is that the Xbox 360 simply has life left in it and with dwindling component prices in the 8 years since the original launch, the firm can still make money selling such a device.)
There’s a lot I don’t know, of course. The name is a big area of speculation, and while I’ve heard nothing official, I’d be surprised if Microsoft didn’t just called it Xbox. I’ve never seen the console, nor have any idea what it might look like. And in addition to the aforementioned confusion over backward compatibility and the apps platform, there are questions surrounding Kinect (which I understand is integrated and non-optional) and of course the fabled (and possibly imaginary) Xbox Surface tablet. We’ll have to wait and see what Microsoft announces—or what it leaks—to find out more.
On that note, Microsoft’s May event will be broadcast live via Xbox.com, over Xbox LIVE, and on Spike TV if you're in the United States or Canada.
$500?! Holy shit, that thing better wash my clothes and do my do my dishes for that much. I realize I paid $600 at launch for a PS3, but I was young and dumb back then. I don't know if I can justify that big of a price tag on something that I really don't think will be all that major of an upgrade, especially since I have a fairly new gaming PC sitting here.
All the rumors I've said pointed to the Next Xbox and PS4 being similar in price, but I don't know if Sony can afford to have a console that doesn't sell well right off the bat, and I certainly don't think there will be massive demand if it's priced at $500. I guess time will tell.
Actually $500 or $539 for the "cheap one". However, if you need live for the $500 also maybe not.
Yeah... not sure how the math works out. If you get the $500 one, you still have to get Live which is I think $40 a year minimum. Unless they are stripping features from the $299 one, it makes more sense to get it.
Hmm, that's interesting that you said that. Assuming Live stays the same(which I'm sure it will), it'll cost $60 a year. Without tax, the $500 model would cost $620 over 2 years while the contract option would cost $540 over 2 years. That literally makes...no sense. My Live runs out in November, coincidentally, so if that is actually the plan they are going to use, I'll just get the contract console if I decide to get one.
god dam 500$ ouch I hope that better chance in half or something geez Micrs$oft gets gutsy
Honestly, not surprised. I've been expecting MS and Sony to both be around $450-$500.
Roughly what I was expecting. Just hoping from a drop by the time I decide to jump on board.
Yep, I'm not jumping to next-gen until at least 2015. So by then, any fuck-ups in the launch consoles while already be sorted out and the new and improved later versions will be out. And the price will hopefully at least be a little bit cheaper by then. But with my assumption correct that the consoles would be priced in the $450-$500 range, that, for now, kills any plans to get both 720 and PS4. Looks like I'll be sticking 100% Xbox for the time being when it comes to next-gen. I can't justify spending $1,000 on two consoles. I wouldn't even play both enough to justify the cost. I'd end up probably playing one more than the other, so that second console would just become a part-time $500 paperweight.
I'm not jumping in for 3 or so years myself. I'll play my Wii U until the price drops. It'll take 3 or 4 years before next-gen NCAA starts to hit its stride.
Yep, I'll still be just fine rolling with my 360. I never upgraded to current-gen until 2009, I did just fine keeping with PS2 and Xbox for most of last decade, I'll be fine continuing with 360 for a couple more years, especially since I just got a Slim a year ago to replace my 360 Elite that had a failing disc drive.
if it doesnt have the problems that the 360 had when it first launched with the massive amounts of rrod, i'd be fine with spending that much on a console that last 5-10 years. my current 360 has lasted 8 years now, but i had it repaired once back in 07? due to rrod.
I have quite a few games on both sides to play through on the current generation, I really doubt Microsoft blows me away with anything that I need to get it in the first year even. Plus I've decided that I'm getting PS4 on day one or as soon as I can without having to camp out.
Amazon imagine if everyone here purchased a 720/PS4 through the kickback link we could all go on a vacation to the Bahamas.
