Actually, they can come out ahead in the mainstream press by simply showing the box.

I bet it's more important to some here than seeing games and price. Good times for those folks. Naturally I expect to see all being revealed if you are 1 month before E3 or it's a huge disappointment if you don't.

Would be a great date, it being a Friday and all.
Actually it does. Will the PS4 retail package only pride with a picture of the controller and games that will not be included? No. They need to sell the console before the games.
That sounds interesting...link?
IT'S HA... ha... ... it'a so far away 
Time to start twisting knives... I predict this is so MS can ready a new box after Sony released its specs... I mean... Sony has a SUPERCHARGER FFS! NOWAI MS CAN TOP THAT! Too soon... TOO SOON!
Or they are waiting for more info at GDC so they know how to properly plan an announcement to differentiate themselves from the competition. We know MS and Sony have great games but I think services will be the deciding factor here - not performance or games, tbh.
I am excited but also a bit put off by that date. Too far away, must come up with a good Ballmerfication for my Avvy by then. Can't fuggin wait!

MS is 1uping Sony already. They're announcing the event TWO months ahead of time instead of just one month.
1201 invites went out. Whatever Sony does... MS manages to get one up on them.
I honestly really believe that they were not impressed judging by their tweets. Again, they always stated that they wanted sony to make the first move. Take that as you will of course.

I was so waiting for the RROD to pop up on his chest.
They took the red lights out of the Xbox Slim

My thoughts exactly.
lmao awesome.
Really isn't that far away. This month is basically over. Then once we get through March, the hype build-up in April (via next gen Xbox articles, videos, etc.) will make the weeks during the month go by pretty fast all the way up to this event.
I think what MS is doing is smart. If they have a good showing at this event, then that will carry with them into E3. Then if they have a good showing at E3, then the hype will carry into the system's launch.
Word's going around that MS is planning for a September launch. If it comes out first and at a cheaper price than the PS4 then I think that MS will do pretty well.

way too far away, I though MS would take the initiative since they were launching first and PS4 had been delayed to 2014....I agree with the poster who said this was a reaction to the PS4 meeting, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered with the, "OMG E3 Countdown!!" (Major Nelson)
Well, Microsoft hasn't really announced a date.
???
I'm pretty sure that they were planning a pre-E3 event for the Next Xbox for a while now (before the PS4 conference).
Ballmer-ified the hands. Thanks to aganu for the original Ballmer gif.
Haha amazing.
Nah, they announced the 360 before E3 so it makes sense. It would be reactionary if it was in the next 2 weeks.
Announce the system in April, launch in September. Keep hype levels high between announcement and launch, kinda like Apple does with their products.
Sony is the only company I know of to ever show a new console at E3, Microsoft has never done that.
This pretty much shows that anyone saying Microsoft was changing their plans because of Sony were wrong.
It also shows that Sony could've waited a little longer before revealing but had their mind set on being first.
The fact that Microsoft had XboxEvent.com registered the day after the Sony event was merely a hat tip to Sony and to tell fans that it's coming.
This will be the worst part about the wait without a doubt.
You're going to hear it for 5 years if they stick with the 8 ddr3. Should get used to it now just in case.

In light of the Sony event I hope the first thing they say is "and this is what the next xbox looks like (box on stage)".
I thought there is a entire thread saying Microsoft is incapable of doing anything to the console in months let alone a year?
No it doesn't...
Remember Sony now has to keep hype going for almost more than twice the amount of time Microsoft will.

But E3 is only like a month and a half away at that point. Sounds pretty dumb.

Hmm, doesn't seem to be near as much excitement as the PS4 event

All we need is game hints from devs.
MS exclusive devs have been quiet for a long time.

You mean to tell me there are more Sony fans on GAF than Xbox?
Wow I never would have guessed!
Yeah, I'm expecting some (silly) shot/comment direct towards Sony if they show the Next Xbox console at the event.
e.g.: "Unlike others, we actually like to show you the product we are having a big event for. Here it is..."
