Aaron Greenberg, a head honco at Microsoft's interactive entertainment department has stated that the next Xbox will be revealed in two stages. He confirmed the detail on the latest Major Nelson podcast.
The first stage of the console's reveal will take place on May 21, followed by a second presentation at E3 next month. The second presentation will focus solely on the games that they plan to deliver to the platform, while the first presentation—which takes place tomorrow—will focus on the technology.
"We have so much goodness that there's no way we could have packed it all into one event," Greenberg stated.
"The best way I can describe it is, we're really going to tell one story across two events. So we're going to start on the 21 [of May] and really that's about revealing the next Xbox platform and our vision for the future of games, the future of entertainment. We definitely have a lot of surprises planned.
He stated that the first presentation will provide a "great inside look" at the making of the platform and how they put the whole thing together.
"It's a lot of laying the foundation, and then just a couple weeks later we go to E3, and E3 is all about the games. It's going to be tons of exclusives [and] world premieres."
Thanks CVG.
