Xbox One is Microsoft's Next Generation Console

Guess all the rumors and speculations were wrong.  The next generation Xbox will not be called the Xbox 720, Xbox Infinity or Xbox 3.  The Xbox One will be a new era in mixing gaming, entertainment and adventure into the living rooms of many.  According to Microsoft, more to be revealed at E3 2013 next month (June).

Xbox Infinity predictions

Everyone has their eyes on that upcoming day, 21st May when Microsoft will make their big Xbox next generation announcement.  I am a bit cautions but not overly excited about the whole event planned by Microsoft to unveil the rumor Xbox Infinity.  The PlayStation 4 reveal event held by Sony a couple of months back was a bit of a disappoint for me. Besides not getting to see the actual PS4 console itself or Seattle some work-in-progress concept, the event was overly hyped but it just didn't hit the mark for me.  I don;t know if as consumers we have become too accustomed to the flash and awe of these types of public reveal events that the impact is now lost.

 I remember back in the days when the Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 were first announced and reveled and regardless of how they looked or what they were being touted to be able to do, the level of excitement and craving for these consoles where out of this world.  We can only hope that with E3 upcoming in June we would be be wowed by some amazing reveals.
