Rumour: Xbone release in December?

If they are actually late with hardware development as rumoured, Microsoft might have no choice but to release in December.
 
If they release in December it's DOA.

Well, not quite, but comparitively toward the PS4 I'd reckon

If that rumor about them being 6 months behind was true (and it seriously seems like it is with how undercooked the thing seems), wouldn't surprise me if December was the earliest they could rush the piece of shit.
 
December? after Black Friday? why? I thought MS wanted to capture USA Land first.

If PS4 is released before Black Friday, they win USA Land.
 
I'm saying november. Other two consoles released in america in november and i'm guessing they are going to do the same. Black friday to holiday sales is golden.
 
The logical conclusion here is that the Wired guys recorded this back in April.
Has nothing to do with punctuation.
 
7 months, counting may = november

it seems correct to me


( and december for Europe and Japan )

What? That doesn't make any sense, "in seven months" is late december.

True, you can understand it both ways. In context, your version makes more sense, I think.

I think the the former is more likely (in seven months) - but people sometimes say things weirdly, so I wouldn't put too much stock in this.
 
Not a chance in hell. Even November will be late.

Call of Doggy is slated for Nov 5th, they're going to want to pimp that realtionship.

I'm gonna go with October 29th, right in time for ACIV and BF4.

PS4 will probably be a week or two before, or switch the two dates.
 
I wondered as well, but her pause makes it seem like my version is correct.

There's no way she's gonna blunder out the release date like that. If she were, she would have said 'you're not going to believe when we ship in 7 months'. Nobody would naturally say it the way that she did.
 
Fixed. What a difference correct punctuation makes.

I think you're right. They change the shot right after she says "...7months", and you never see her begin the next part of the statement.

Seems like it's just badly edited, for some reason.

I'm not native English, so you might be correct. I would have said something like "past 7 months" or made a slight pause after "7 months" to indicate a new sentence follows next.
 
If they are having issues like rumored it could happen but I think they'll want to be there day 1 for CoD and be out for BF. The supplies may be low but it'll be out before December
 
Decemeber or not this all comes down to E3 if MS has a killer game or games for launch then people will be interested. Lets hope they've got something worth buying the system for apart from the third party stuff.
 
It'll be interesting to know when the weaker console, i.e. PS4 makes it to the market. I guess power don't matter that much if the release date favours one over the other, esp, during this holiday season.
 
They've been so careful to say 'later this year' as opposed to 'Holiday 2013'. I don't know, I'm getting the impression it's coming out sooner than we think.
 
Itll be interesting to see who blinks first and announces their release ate. It vaguely seems like SOny is more well prepared but a lot could change at E3. (2 weeks!)

.

checking the video i can clearly see " may 14 " on the Live dashboard ( recording date)

and i believe whole Q&A would be approved by Microsoft even days before the recording probably late april/early may.

7 months = mid november as the two boxes before ( 19 nov or 26 nov imho)
 
December? Yeah, you might as well release in 2014.

The console that doesn't release in time for CoD will practically be a holiday behind.

I have a very strong feeling that Sony could release months ahead of the Xbone. I'm hoping for August (lol), but don't think early October is unreasonable, depending on production issues.
