Not enough hype in that text to make me think it will be announced.

 

[Strike]

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[BeEatNU]

lol

 

[SebastianAlexander]

this looks hot as FUCK!

WANT WANT WANT!

 

[Baconsammy]

Surface Pro is coming out. They won't be coy when it comes to announcing the next Xbox.

 

[PG2G]

We are probably going to see a "future vision" video similar to what is out there for TellMe and Office.

Yeah, I feel like it'd have a dedicated event with a significant amount of time.

Then again, this is 3 hours.

[UraMallas]

I would think they would broadcast a stream on Live for the next Xbox reveal. I don't see anything about that on that announcement or on my dashboard and that's less than a week away.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

dayum!

It feels like an old west high-noon shoot off!


PS4.... X720.... BUT WHEN IS NOON?

 

[Matt]

I'd think they would go the MTV route again.

Well, considering this event is in MounTain View, they sort of are....

 

[RurouniZel]

Surface Pro, most likely.

 

[iiicon]

Zune 2!

If only! My iPod is getting a little long in the tooth.

 

[TheGreyHulk]

i doubt it. if durango is there, i bet it would be behind closed doors to a select few people and that's it.

M$ knows they have to come correct with announcing durango. They'll need games running on hardware and all that stuff. Near e3 sounds more feasible. I think the countdown from majornelson is what we should go by

 

[a secret-boss]

thanks for letting me know when the Surface Pro will finally be announce for sale

 

[ChosenPredator]

this will probably end in horrendous disappointment because they won't be showing any next console stuff, if they do color me surprised lol

 

[Izayoi]

Nothing will come out of it. Microsoft would be hyping it differently, and I doubt they'd take time away from the 720 with boring shit like what they've mentioned - unless they're outright lying, which could be a possibility too. You'd think that they would want to build hype for it, though.

Means nothing, event is likely for Surface Pro, Wins8 tablets and Wins 8

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

I think at this rate the 720 and PS4 will be announced by tomorrow

 

[JoshHood]

Guys, this is obviously an event for the Surface Pro which releases that day - there may be the tiniest of mentions in the speech, but that'll be it.

 

[Gorillaz]

No way in hell is this for next gen. They would be a little more....."bigger" about it all. Let's think here guys

 

[Zeal]

Watch, this will be an announcement that the next-gen system will be announced soon.

 

[funkystudent]

the surface event kind of came out of nowhere.

Maybe this could be next gen debut but who knows. MS have a lot of events and they have a lot of products.

 

[Tomcat]

probably surface pro

its too early for these kind of announcements

 

[Squire]

Dat thread title change haha.

 

[fluffydelusions]

probably surface pro

its too early for these kind of announcements

Too early for who? Next gen is way past due IMO. TBH, I'm betting surface pro

 

[BigTnaples]

Why the change in title?

 

[keit4]

Why not?

 

[brotkasten]

 

[Baconsammy]

Why the change in title?

Because there's no mystery about what the event is for.

 

[pelican]

Hype Train coming through!

Awesome pic. Keep that in mind for E3 hype train!!

As for this, nah a bit early. Closer to GDC I think.

 

[Mascot]

Windows 9.

 

[Agent Ironside]

Because there's no mystery about what the event is for.

 

[OzPinoy]

Next gen Microsoft now with Kinect 2.0. Neogaf explode.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Anyone else here willing to bet that this ends with "and join us on -radom date- to get your first look at the next generation on gaming"

 

[Mick Swagger]

Courier revival? SURFACE COURIER.

Make it happen, MS.

 

[Konosuke]

Tease me Microsoft! It's the least you could do!

 

[lefantome]

J Allard will come back!

 

[XtremeXpider]

I expect Durango to be announced on TV.

I want to see that on my TV xD

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/Press/2013/Jan13/01-22SurfaceFamilyPR.aspx

So the surface pro will not be the primary thing on that show...

 

[yurinka]

I think they will at least tease something there. As how Smartglass is gonna work there or Kinect 2.

 

[SeanR1221]

Lol windows phone not even mentioned in the press release.

 

[Pooya]

well, there is that xbox surface 7" tablet rumored by The Verge and Tom Warren, all of his rumors are 100% true. or the xbox lite box thing. or this could just be an overview hands on event on current products like Surface Pro. They haven't hyped this at all so far.

 

[moe6142]

Lol windows phone not even mentioned in the press release.

does it need to be?
there are a ton of solo windows phone announcements throughout each year anyways.

 

[twinturbo2]

I just want a release date on Office 2013 and Ballmer dancing like Ballmer on stage while he announces that the NBA is coming back to Seattle.

Dancing Balmer would make for a good team mascot.

 

[RdN]

I think it's too early for the Next Xbox to be revealed.

 

[ryamkajr]

We have teammembers going to this.

THERE IS NO NEXT-GEN ANNOUNCEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.

There may be some conceptual stuff presented, but anything comcrete re: Durango is not the focus, direct or indirect, of this event.

Stop the hype train now.

 

[clav]

Seems more like a networking event who want to work in Microsoft.

I would go if I were nearby.
